Process improvement design at PT URW using failure mode and effect analysis

Abstract

PT URW is a company engaged in the textile sector that processes yarn into semi-finished fabrics. Such is the case that PT URW has a problem with its waste materials. To address this, the researcher has implemented the method of failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA). In data collection and processing, the researcher defined the problem, collected data, took measurements using the critical waste method, and interpreted the data into the Pareto Chart. The area that had the greatest value was continued to the analysis stages of critical waste analysis, FMEA analysis, and alternative solutions. The research was concluded by providing corrective solutions based on the potential causes that had been found in the previous stage and by validating the formed planned improvements.
