Indonesia has several creative economy sectors that rapidly developed and potentially can be improved to 7% annually. One of them is textile industry specifically bag industry. This industry’s development could enhance the production of commodities and emerge other SMEs to initiate the similar field. Therefore, to raise its profit, customer’s satisfaction must be elevated by minimizing defected products. In order to support it, an improvement on production process is a must. This research employs Six Sigma methods integration with Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP)-Failure Mode and Effect Anlysis (FMEA). Six Sigma is designated to analyze the level of products’ defect through Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) stages and assess the factors that cause the defects by using Fuzzy AHP decision support system and FMEA in risk analysis on defect. The result of the research shows the shortage of defects that demonstrated by DPMO indicator and Sigma level. It is identified that the number of DPMO was being reduced from 20003.75 to 11185.73. While Six Sigma level demonstrated the enhancement from 3.61 to 3.86. Those suggest that the improvement solution provides has significant effect on the defects decreasing at the bag convection industry.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore Lean Six Sigma (LSS) project and program success in the textile and apparel industry. This paper presents depictions of LSS implementations and the resulting economic impact for a textile company. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative approach consisting of a single descriptive case study and project document reviews was used. This method provided an in-depth view into what LSS means for one medium-sized global textile company and how it has proven important to the company’s success. Findings Three successful projects, two on changeover time reduction and one on metal contamination, were completed. Additional findings from this study suggest that strategic partnerships with other high-performing companies and storytelling are two critical success factors. Also, it is critical for management to convey a clear vision for LSS that can be operationalized within a company for successful deployment of LSS textile projects. Research limitations/implications The findings from this case study cannot be generalized. Originality/value The literature on LSS in small- and medium-sized businesses is limited. The literature on the use of LSS in the textile and apparel industry is even more limited. This paper shows various processes within the textile complex where LSS has been deployed successfully, yielding economic impacts. By using qualitative methods, the value of strategic partnerships, storytelling and a vision was seen.

PT Unitex merupakan perusahaan manufaktur yang bergerak di industri tekstil yang mengolah kapas menjadi kain jadi. Departemen tenun adalah salah satu departemen di PT Unitex, yang memproses benang menjadi kain mentah. Seringnya terjadi permasalahan terhadap pengendalian mutu yang tidak mencapai target di Departemen Tenun, menyebabkan peningkatan waktu pemrosesan produk untuk memperbaiki produk yang cacat juga akan berdampak pada jumlah produksi. Untuk itu penelitian dilakukan dengan mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis proses pengendalian mutu untuk mengetahui faktor utama penyebab terjadinya produk cacat sehingga didapatkan ususlan untuk mengurangi jumlah produk cacat pada hasil produksi. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Metode Six Sigma, dengan langkah-langkah Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC). Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan, didapatkan nilai Defect per Million Opportunity yang diperoleh adalah sebesar 181.67 dan nilai Sigma sebesar 5.07. Dengan nilai sigma sebesar 5.07 berarti Departmen Tenun telah mencapai tingkat industri rata-rata USA. Tapi masih ada cacat yang terjadi dari satu juta peluang. Untuk memaksimalkan kontrol kualitas, rekomendasinya adalah untuk memperkuat pengawasan kepada operator, memprioritaskan pemeriksaan mesin, dan menekankan ketersediaan suku cadang mesin, terutama yang rentan terhadap kerusakan.AbstractPT Unitex is a manufacturing company engaged in the textile industry. Processing carried out at PT Unitex is processing cotton into finished cloth. The Weaving Department is one of the departments at PT Unitex, which processes yarn into raw fabrics. The most frequent and most noticed problem in the Weaving Department is the quality control problem that often does not reach the target. In addition, this also causes an increase in product processing time to repair defective products which will also have an impact on the amount of production. For this reason, this research is carried out by identifying and analyzing the quality control process to determine the main factors causing the occurrence of defective products so that will reduce the number of defective products in the production. The method used in this study is the Six Sigma Method, with steps Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC). As soon as the calculation is done, the Defect per Million Opportunity (DPMO) value obtained is 181.67 and the Sigma value is 5.07. With a sigma value of 5.07, Weaving Department has reached the average industry level of the USA. But there are still defects that occur from one million opportunities. To maximize quality control, the recommendations are to strengthen supervision of operators, prioritize inspection of machinery, and emphasize the availability of machine parts, especially those that are vulnerable to damage.Keywords: DPMO; Six Sigma; Production; Quality Control; Weaving Department
