Tatung Electric Indonesia is a peripatetic company in manufacturing industry assembling of electro motor. So that product yielded by PT. Tatung Electric Indonesia can continue to fulfill requirement of customer, company try to improve the quality of its product by minimizing defect which during the time still happened. This defect arising caused by the existence of variation at yielded product and also that happened in the process. Six Sigma represent control technique or method to reach storey or level quality of 3.4 DPMO ( Defects Per Million Opportunities), which applied by Motorola company since year 1986. Applying strategy to be used is Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC). This Method represent recuring step and form a make-up of quality cycle. Calculations show the company is 3.641 sigma level with DPMO 15,830. The sigma levels are on the average level of sigma industries in Indonesia (3-4 sigma). Increased levels of sigma would happen if the company immediately continuous improvement over time. Conclusion of the application of Six Sigma is the DMAIC method in the assembly process of electro motors can analyze and reduce disability that occurs that will increase the quality of products.

Continuous improvement is a key element for the competitiveness of companies seeking to increase the quality of a process, product, or service. This project aims to apply continuous improvement in a locomotive service and maintenance process, which works for the railway industry in the country. Low efficiency and productivity were identified in the remanufacturing of axles and wheels in the Combos area, where the improvement project was carried out. The Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC) methodology was used through the application of lean manufacturing tools to eliminate or reduce activities that do not add value. As a result, reduced transport times, standardization of operations, and improved staff safety were achieved. The above together significantly impacted the time cycle of processes, managing to increase efficiency by 7.52%.

Subject. This article deals with the tools of lean manufacturing concept that seek to eliminate losses or minimize them as much as possible while improving the quality of products provided. Objectives. The article aims to examine the theoretical and methodological aspects of the lean concept, and describe the foreign experience of using lean technologies. Methods. For the study, I used the methods of analysis, retrospection, comparison, and generalization. To present the study results, I used the tabular method. Results. The article defines the notion of Loss (Muda) and types of losses specified in dedicated sources. It describes the techniques that help companies eliminate losses and maximize market orientation through their staff members’ participation. The article defines the content and discusses the implications of implementing various key tools of the lean concept. Conclusions. Lean technologies can be implemented both individually and in combination with one another. When combined, the technologies can help both optimize labor and tangible costs, and meet the needs of customers. The use of a wide range of lean concepts can contribute to solving socioeconomic challenges faced by an individual economic entity and the entire country.

As a modern way of thinking lean methodology uses tools that are directed towards the continuous improvement of the functioning of the system with continuous perfection. Lean production (LP) means less work in the workplace, less manufacturing space, less investment, less time and fewer tools and supplies. The methodology is designed so that it is planned and managed in stages, necessary for the realization of the objectives defined production system. Lean companies are primarily focused on growth, increase profitability and customer value, but also increase productivity, improve the quality of products and processes, as well as the delivery systems are also important elements for improving business efficiency. This paper will present the methodology of implementation of lean concepts for improving productivity in manufacturing companies.

Currently, more and more challenges of modern industrial enterprises require an increase in the reliability of the information on the quality of products. This becomes possible when using digital technologies to assess the quality of products. The cited publication discusses the technology for recognizing defects in the surface of sheet products in images obtained from cameras of the strip inspection system during rolling. The authors proposed a classification of the signs of defects in the image and highlighted the most significant of them also suggested using geometric, optical and spectral features for images of flat-rolled products containing defects of different classes. The research results at this stage, obtained during the processing of digital images, showed that to identify a defect and reduce false-positive and false-negative alarms of the automated defect identification system, it is required to conduct a study of interval estimates and make decision-making rules based on intersection and merging of intervals; introduce additional classes that allow the introduction of signs that characterize the irregularity of the shape of defects and the characteristic location; the use of new technologies of soft computing will reveal the hidden patterns of the manifestation of defects in the images of the surface of the steel strip.

Abstract The aim of this article is to examine how the sense of smell and aroma compounds influence the quality of food of animal origin, and to review gas chromatography-olfactometry methods of volatile substances analysis that can help to promote regional animal products. Smell and smell-inducing compounds play an important role in human life. People have made use of aromatic herbs and spices for ages. The classification of smells was developed by, among others, Aristotle, Linnaeus, Zwaardemaker, as well as Amoore, the creator of the stereochemical theory of olfaction. Smell is also of exceptional importance in a consumer’s evaluation of food quality. Achievements in the area of chromatography, mass spectrometry and olfactometry have contributed to the development of tests for the content of volatile compounds in food materials, e.g. milk, cheese or meat. Analysis of these compounds is more and more often applied to regional products that are commonly characterised by different olfactory properties. The study’s results of raw meat of different animal species show that nutria meat and mutton differ the most from others. Apart from genetic factors, meat composition depends on feeding method, quality and type of fodder, method of cutting, meat seasoning, pH and temperature of processing. Chromatographic and olfactometric tests on animal products, in conjunction with chemometrics, can contribute to the development of reliable characteristics and help to identify the products’ origin. These tests are becoming an inseparable part of the policy of promotion of regional products with specific taste and olfactory properties.
