Abstract
In the last four years, the price of fabric raw materials has increased globally supported by fluctuations in the price of the Dollar exchange rate causing the costs required by textile companies to increase by 81.97%. Based on production data obtained from the company, product quality decreased by 10.28% from 2019 to 2022. Poor product quality accompanied by increasing costs of production raw materials adversely affect company finances, so this study aims to reduce the costs required in the production process. The cost of this production process can be reduced by reducing the waste that occurs during the production process. To deal with this problem, this research was conducted on one of the textile companies in Indonesia that produces fabric. The research began by identifying the existing waste problem by conducting a special questionnaire survey called waste assessment questionaire (WAQ). The respondents in this survey were three people from the textile company who were responsible for the course of the fabric production process in the factory. The results of this questionnaire were used to model the relationship between the types of waste and the types of waste that occurred the most. The results of data analysis showed that there were four types of waste that significantly occurred, namely idle time by 23.9%, unnecessary processes by 20.7%, waste due to product defects by 20.1%, and waste due to excess production by 18.9%. These four types of waste will be further analyzed to eliminate the waste effectively and efficiently.
