PROPOSED QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF ACRYLIC RESIN PRODUCTS WITH SIX SIGMA (AT PT. XYZ)

PT. XYZ is a manufacturing company that produces various types of resins. One of them is acrylic resin, acrylic resin is the raw material for loading solvent base paints such as those used in the automotive paint manufacturing process. In acrylic resin, defects are usually found such as dirty resin, yellow resin color and rust drum. This study aims to determine the value of the sigma level on acrylic resin products before repair, analyze the factors that cause defects in acrylic resin products and provide suggestions for improvements with the Six Sigma approach. So that defects that occur in acrylic products can be reduced or even eliminated, With a six sigma approach in analyzing and calculating data using the DMAIC concept (define, measure, analyze, improve and control), the total acrylic resin defects in the last six months have an average by 8.94% with a type of gross resin defect of 89.88%, drum rust of 95.80% and yellow resin color of 100.00%. While the average sigma value on acrylic resin before repair was 3.15 with DPMO damage of 81,636 for a million productions. Based on the fishbone diagram, the causes of dirty resin defects, yellow resin color, rust drums are from human factors, materials, machines, methods and the environment. Based on the 5W + 1H method, suggestions can be given to companies in the form of periodic checks on machines, making a schedule for cleaning the production area, holding training or training for employees and carrying out supervision from superiors. Keywords: Quality Control, Six Sigma, DMAIC and 5W+1H 1

DETERMINATION OF DELIVERY FUEL DISTRIBUTION ROUTES TO MINIMIZE TOTAL DISTRIBUTION COSTS WITH THE SAVING MATRIX METHOD AT PT. ENERGI NIAGA UTAMA

Transportation and distribution are two components that affect a company's competitive advantage because a decrease in distribution costs can indirectly increase the company's profits. The higher the level of competition, it requires companies to be able to make good distribution strategies. Some of the problems that exist in PT. Energi Niaga Utama in distributing diesel fuel to companies is the delay in the distribution process, in which diesel fuel uses a 16 KL tank car. Therefore, this study wants to minimize the total route and distribution costs to provide profits and minimize company losses. In this study, the determination of the saving matrix method helps solve distribution problems. Based on the calculation using the saving matrix method, two stages of delivery were obtained with as many as 12 shipping routes so that each company did not delay the delivery of diesel fuel for the company's initial route distance of 2,018.6 km with a total distribution cost of Rp. 11.959.158, by using the saving matrix method, can provide distance savings of 1,552.8 km with a total distribution cost of Rp. 11.300.240, the percentage of distance savings is 23.07%, and the percentage of distribution cost savings is 5.5%.

HALAL AWARE COMMUNITY MODEL BASED ON MASJID: ANALYSIS OF LEVEL OF CARE, AWARENESS, AND SATISFACTION OF MUSLIM TOURISTS IN MAKASSAR

This study aims to assess the success of a halal-conscious community model based on the Masjid in Makassar by examining the level of awareness and satisfaction of local communities and Muslim tourists. The quantitative method with a survey approach was used, and 300 local community respondents and 200 Muslim tourist respondents were randomly selected as the study sample. The data were collected using questionnaires that consist of questions about respondent characteristics, the level of awareness and concern for halal products and services, and satisfaction and recommendations for the halal-conscious community model. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical and factor analysis methods to identify the factors that affect the success of the halal-conscious community model. The validity and reliability of the research instruments were tested using content validity and Cronbach's alpha method, respectively. The results showed that the local community respondents had a high level of awareness and concern for halal products and services, with an average score of 3.8 out of 5, indicating that the halal-conscious community model has successfully increased the awareness of local communities. Furthermore, Muslim tourists showed high levels of satisfaction with the halal-conscious community model, with an average score of 4.1 out of 5, indicating that the model has provided halal products and services that meet their needs. In conclusion, the halal-conscious community model based on the Masjid in Makassar has been successful in increasing the awareness and satisfaction of both the local community and Muslim tourists

COMPOSITE VOICE-ABSORBING MATERIALS MADE OF POLYESTER-REINFORCED PARTICLES WASTE GLASS PLASTIC AD BIOCOMPOSITE FIBER

Natural fiber as a sound-absorbing biocompisite material is believed to not only reduce noise pollution but also to absorb heat. There are many underutilized coconut husks, which so far the use of coconut husks is only conventional. The focus of this research is to find the right solution in the use of coconut fiber as well as composite material engineering for technological purposes. The research method will use pure experiments using controlled specimens in the mechanical Engineering laboratory of ITB, including mechanicals tests, soundproofing. The results of he tensile test are the tensile strength of the largest coconut fiber composite fiber is found in the fiber volume fraction of 25% with a value of 59.072 Mpa, followed by 20% fiber fraction with a value of 59.025 Mpa, 15% fiber fraction with a value of 56.736 Mpa, fiber fraction 10% with a value of 56.807 Mpa, 5% fiber fraction with a value 53.736. and for he results of the soundproof test with frequency of 250 Hz – 2000 Hz at 5% fiber fraction, it has an absorption coefficient value of 0,03, 10% fiber fraction, has an absorption coefficient value of 0.18, 15% fiber fraction has an absorption coefficient value of 0.18. 0.18, the fiber fraction of 20 has an absorption coefficient of 0.22, the fiber fraction of 25% has an absorption coefficient of 0.28.
