The main goal of the company is basically to make a profit so that the company is able to grow in the long run. However, the demands of consumers that are constantly changing require companies to be more flexible in meeting consumer demands related to product quality. Therefore, companies must be able to maintain and improve the quality of the products produced. Quality control is important for the company so that the products produced are in accordance with the standards, both the standards set by the company as well as local and international bodies that manage quality standards. In addition, quality products should be in accordance with consumer expectations. This study aims to determine defects in bakery products using Statistical Process Control methods and provide improvement suggestions. The research object is Roti Rahmat which is a small and medium business. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation and interviews with owners and employees. The results showed that the product defects were not uniform at 52.51%, the bread was scorched at 24.55%, the contents of the bread came out at 21.15%, and others at 1.97%. Based on the causal diagram, it is known that the biggest factors that cause product defects are the production process factors and employee factors.

ABSTRACT The establishment of grain crops in Brazil is an important industrial process in the agricultural chain, requiring the correct deposition of granular fertilizer over the sowing furrow and more efficient, precise, and sustainable assessments in the operation, which can be achieved with the statistical process control. This study aimed to assess the effect of the angular velocity on different inclinations of the helical metering mechanism on the granular fertilizer deposition. An automated electronic bench was used to assess the deposition quality of granular fertilizers considering different angular velocities (1.11, 1.94, and 2.77 m s-1) and longitudinal and transverse inclinations (+15, +7.5, 0, −7.5, and −15°), with the helical doser by overflow. Flow data were collected and submitted to descriptive statistics and statistical process control. The metering mechanism showed expected variations, with acceptable performance under process control. The values of the flow rates of the granular fertilizer increased as velocity increased, standing out longitudinal inclinations of +7.5 and +15°, providing higher fertilizer depositions.

Quality is a term that has diflferent meanings to different people. Quality set out in this paper are the features and characteristics of the total of a product or service associated with its ability to satisfij the needs of the visible or disguised. The quality of the environment requires an establishment of TQM because quality can not be examined only in a product. In this paper also discussed the concept of the seven TQM: continuous improvement, Six Sigma, employee empowerment, benchmarking, just in time, the concept of Taguchi TQM techniques and knowledge. TQM is the seventh technique check sheet, scatter diagrams, cause-effect diagrams, Pareto charts, flow charts, histograms, and statistical process control.

RESUMO - As perdas na colheita podem estar relacionadas tanto a colhedora, como também a fatores ligados a cultura como: mau preparo do solo, densidade de plantas, inadequação da época de semeadura são alguns deles. O presente estudo objetivou determinar a influência da velocidade de semeadura no processo de colheita mecanizada de milho, por meio do controle de qualidade do processo. O experimento foi conduzido em Latossolo Vermelho, textura argilosa e relevo suave ondulado. O delineamento foi baseado na óptica do Controle Estatístico de ProcessoCEP, onde os dados foram coletados em pontos aleatórios em função do tempo. Os indicadores de qualidade avaliados foram divididos em parâmetros de semeadura (população de plantas e distribuição longitudinal de plântulas); e de colheita (Perdas de grãos e distribuição de palha) em função de seis velocidades de deslocamento (aproximadamente 2,0; 4,0; 6,0; 9,0; 10,0 e 12,0 Km.h-1). Os dados foram submetidos a análise descritiva para análise do comportamento. Como ferramentas do controle estatístico de processo utilizou-se, run charts ou gráfico sequencial e carta de controle de valores individuais para análise da qualidade do processo. A maior velocidade (V6) apresentou a maior variabilidade dos dados para todas as variáveis. A operação da colheita mecanizada de milho foi influenciada por fatores extrínsecos e intrínsecos a ela.Palavras-chave: Controle estatístico de processo, espaçamentos normais, perdas, população de plantas.QUALITY IN MECHANIZED HARVEST OF CORN SOWN IN DIFFERENT SPEEDSABSTRACT - The harvest losses may be associated to harvester as well as factors related to cultivation such as poor soil preparation, plant density, unsuitable sowing time. This study aimed to determine the effect of speed sowing in the mechanized harvest of corn, through the control of the quality of the process. The experiment was conducted in a clayey Oxisol and undulate relief. The design was based on the optics of the Statistical Process Control SPC, and the data were collected at random points in function of time. The quality indicators evaluated were divided into sowing parameters (plant population and longitudinal distribution of seedlings) and harvesting (loss of grain and straw distribution) in function of six displacement speeds (approximately 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 9.0, 10.0 and 12.0 Km.h-1). The data were submitted to descriptive analysis for behavior analysis. As tools for the statistical control of the process, run charts or sequential graph were used, and control chart of individual values for analysis of the quality of the process. The highest speed (V6) showed the highest variability of the data for all variables. The operation of mechanized harvest of corn was influenced by extrinsic and intrinsic factors.Keywords: statistical process control, normal spacings, losses, plant population.
