This paper purpose is to investigate the benefits of Lean Six Sigma to the Malaysian automotive industry. Lean is an approach that seeks to improve flow in the value stream and eliminate waste. It’s about doing things quickly. Six Sigma uses a powerful framework (DMAIC) and statistical tools to uncover root causes to understand and reduce variation. It’s about doing things right (defect free). As global competition continues to grow, the pressure to improve becomes more andmore intense. Thus, a combination of both Lean and Six Sigma is born. This method provides an over-arching improvement philosophy that incorporates powerful data-driven tools to solve problems and create rapid transformational improvement at lower cost. Thus, this paper also tries to examine how the Lean Six Sigma can contribute and brings a positive impact to the automotive industry in Malaysia.

The development of the automotive industry in Indonesia made the level of competition even tighter, so Auto2000 Setiabudhi tried to provide periodic maintenance services, especially for the replacement of New Avanza Veloz disc brakes. The purpose of this study was to reduce the processing time of the New Avanza Veloz disc brake replacement to increase the Auto2000 Setiabudhi service level. However, the results of observations found that the time for disc brake replacement was exceeded the requirements set by the company. The observation was carried out for two years, from 2017 to 2018. Obtained also information from observations that there was an increase in the processing time gap of 0.84%, an increase in service level gap of 5.17%, while waste that occurred was waste waiting and motion. The method used in this study is based on Lean Six Sigma. The results obtained after improvements were made to a reduction in processing time by 50%, reduction in waste waiting, and motion and the achievement of service levels by 100%.

The purpose of this study is to measure the influence of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) and Continuous Improvement (KAIZEN) to reduce the defect products in practising Quality Management System (QMS) for the automotive industry. Data were obtained from questionnaires which has been returned from 78 respondents among production operators in assembly section. The data has been analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Result shown that Lean Six Sigma (LSS) and Continuous Improvement (KAIZEN) have positive influence for solving the problem of defect products. The findings of this study will help the industry for giving serious enforcement and attention for these two methods in reducing the defect products thus will reduce the scrap management cost. This study contributes to the advancement of knowledge on methods to reduce defect products for automotive industry.
