Quality is one of the key success factors to achieve competitive advantage. When companies succeeded to improve quality of the service or product given, they will have the possibility to increase their market share and eventually their profit. One of the methods to increase quality is by doing six sigma analysis that focuses on the cause of the problem. The research is done in PT Cemara Agung, one of textile industries in Indonesia. Research method used is descriptive study. Literature study, observations, and interviews has been done in order to search root cause and generate recommendations. The analysis shows that almost fifty percent of the main cause in defect products is happened to the weaving department, which then cause the profit of the company decreased as an impact of the spoilage produced. By doing six sigma analysis and finding recommendations to resolve the problems, the company is expected to be able to reduce the quality cost, increase the quality and eventually increase the profit of the company.

The product taken and examined is the sweet fermented Carica fruit. This fruit will be produced by CV. Gemilang Kencana, wheresoever the fruit is ready for the packing process, both cups and bottles.Results: The results of the calculation of Six Sigma value from CV. Gemilang Kencana has a sigma level 3.8 with the possibility of damage/ defects to the product up to 11,760 pcs in a million chance of production (DPMO). To reduce the number of damaged/ defective products that occur in the production process by sorting the highest percentage of causes damage, namely packaging leakage by 37%, untidy products by 50%, and less full products by 13%.Conclusion and suggestion: After knowing the results in this study, if the cause of the damage is not handled properly, more products will fail during the production process, which will cause an increase in production costs and have an impact on company losses.

The aim of this research is to analyze the key success factors in promoting the internationalization preparation of Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and the restraining factors for SME in internationalization preparation of SMEs. This study uses qualitative research method. Primary Data for qualitative is collected through depth interview on important actors as informants, consist of the five representatives as the adaption of Penta-Helix Model. Supporting factors for internationalization preparation are product uniqueness and high international demand of product. While, the barrier factors are insufficient business network and high competition from other countries. The most suitable recommendation for business owner of SMEs is by optimizing the innovation through local values to produce unique product which can compete with other countries. Moreover, the other recommendation is by establishing a wider and stronger business network in order to address the international demand.

Last Mile Delivery

A city as a system that constitutes one of the most important areas of human activities. The significant role to fulfill their expectations pay the goods transport and deliveries. These issues are the subject of urban logistics. In broad terms, urban logistics may be construed as a number of processes focused on freight flows, which are completed in cities, including deliveries, supply, goods transfer, services, etc. Due to the different urban logistics stakeholders’ expectations, these systems generate many challenges for managers, especially in the context of city users’ needs and their quality of life. Today, there is a lack of broadened approach and methodology to support them from the processes’ efficiency perspective. To fulfill this gap, the purpose of this paper is to apply the Six Sigma method as a support in last mile delivery management. Six Sigma method plays important role in production systems processes management. However, it could be useful in much wider perspective, including transport and logistics processes. The Authors emphasize that the Six Sigma method could be efficient approach in the last mile delivery processes’ analysis in the context of their efficiency. It helps positioning the customer satisfaction level and quantify the delivery processes defects, related to the undelivered goods. Following that it could improve significantly the last mile delivery processes efficiency. The concept is illustrated by a sample evaluation of one of the urban logistics processes: completion of deliveries. To this end, urban logistics processes were defined. In particular, the delivery completion process was mapped, and the process client was defined along with their expectations. The defects that occurred in the process were identified and analyzed. A DPMO (Defect per Million Opportunities) indicator was established for three randomly selected months. In addition, a root cause analysis of errors was performed. The sigma level for the studied process ranged from 2.61 to 2.89. The factor that had the greatest impact on the number of defects defined as failed deliveries was customer’s absence. The obtained results indicate that the delivery process should be examined in more detail.
