Six Sigma is a means that can be used to enhance quality by decreasing product defects.  Many organizations have succeeded in applying Six Sigma, such as Motorola, General Electric and Allied Signal. To achieve Six Sigma, a process must reduce no more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities.This article tries to describe the definition and process of  Six Sigma. Six Sigma can be used in every part of production process. It is important for the organizations to give more attention to quality. The best quality can be achieved if all of the resources and processes are well managed. Six Sigma helps the organizations to measure whether resources and processes are well managed so that better quality can be achieved.Six Sigma has some advantages, such as focus on process, recovery and measurement management, keep the focus accurate, clear and specific, has clear purposes and help the organization to adapt the situation that always changes, uses means and approaches in the proper situation, helps company to create smoother, more effective and more efficient company, recognizes that a little recovery or a big changing is important in the business world, and has no worry to give a big investment to meet the standard.

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the application of Statistics Quality Control in fierce industries. By observing Batik production process at PT XYZ as a case in this work, we applied Six Sigma Method to analyze defective product and their cause while also measure overall quality goodness. Six Sigma is a method to improve a process and reduce defects in productions into 3.4 defects per million productions. We use handprint batik productions at PT XYZ as a case in this study. The method is involving Define, Measure and Analyze (DMA) phases. By using Six Sigma, it was obtained that the quality of handprint batik are quite good with sigma of 3.105 and defect rate of 54.269 million production (DPMO). There are four defect causes of handprint batik namely: ripped fabric, shallowness, perforation, and mispattern which contribute 41,7%, 35,8%, 15%, 7,5% respectively from overall defects. The main cause of defects is the carelessness of workers in production process. Therefore we need to reduce the carelessness to  improve production quality.

The research was conducted at PT. XYZ where there were defect problems in bed series products so that additional time is needed to repair a product. One way to make improvements and improve quality in a production process is the Six Sigma method with the stages of DMAIC. The results of the calculated average of DPMO values and Sigma Level have the result 58558.56 and 3.07 which are still not good because still far from 6 sigma. After that analyzing the root causes of defect product problems, then the priority problem is carried out using (RPN) where the highest value is at the assembly work station because the material that has been used up in the warehouse has an RPN of 405 so that it becomes a top priority for repairs. With the standardization and documentation, proposed improvements that have been given then the possible defects of Electric Lovina Bed 3 Motor will be reduced.

UD. BJ Mendit on Mendit Barat, Kec. Pakis is one of centrale of home industry in Malang with it's roof production process. From the observation that the researcher do into UD. BJ Mendit, finded that the production process had been doing often with technical and non technical problems that make some failed roof product with the criterion are keropos, break, barst, gopel, sandbank. Way of this roof production planning repair is important to do so that can make this production unit produce an unfailed product and reduce loss. Purposes of this research are identifying types of roof failed product, analysing main cause of roof failed product with FMEA, and giving recommended action for Mendit's roof production process repair. This research doing the same steps as same as Six Sigma cycle: DMAIC, but not doing the last step, Control. On Define step, are doing product identifying and make the Six Sigma team. On Measure step, are determining priority failed product identifying into CTQ (Critical To Quality) and measurement of present performance with counting the DPMO (Defect Per Million Opportunities) dan Sigma level. On Analyze step, is detecting main atributs that influencing the failed product on CTQ. On Improve step, is doing process improvement with developing alternative to reduce failed product atributs. From the steps had done, finded that the biggest failed criterion is keropos. Keropos is caused by lack of skill and correctness of worker on processing the raw material, can also caused by process execution which not fully corret so that produce critical process to be repaired first to increase the quality of Mendit's roof.
