PENERAPAN SQC DAN FMEA DALAM ANALISIS PRODUK CACAT DI CV. KONVEKSI 3 DARA BANDUNG

In this day and age, business competition is increasingly fierce in responding to diverse consumer demands, strategic action is needed in carrying out company operations. CV. Konveksi 3 Dara Bandung is a micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) which operates in the field of clothing production including clothes, jackets, robes, shirts and the like. Based on the observations that have been made, the quality of the products produced still does not meet consumer satisfaction, because the products produce many product defects including rejected clothes, broken seams, loose seams and wrinkles on clothes. Therefore, quality control tools are needed to identify the causes of products that do not meet standards, and then provide solutions to correct these problems so that the quality of the products produced can reach the maximum level. The combination of methods between Statistical Quality Control (SQC) and FMEA is expected to help companies in optimizing product quality control. Based on the analysis of the Statistical Quality Control method combined with the FMEA concept, it was concluded that the defects that occurred included rejected clothes (19%), broken stitches (37%), loose stitches (24%), and wrinkles (20%).

Pengaruh Jumlah Putus Benang Terhadap Quality Control Jahitan di CV Batara Apparel

One of the problems that related to quality and often occurs in the sewing process at CV Batara Apparel is that there are frequent thread break problems. Termination problems that occur are caused by an error during the thread installation process that does not pass through the needle bar hole and the thread is directly passed through the needle. This results in defects in stitches such as broken stitches. In order to solve the thread break problem caused by an error during the thread installation process that does not pass through the needle bar hole, it can be overcome by implementing SOP (Standard Operational Procedure) on proper and correct machine usage procedures, briefing supervisors with the production manager so that the problems occurs when production takes place can be handled properly. In addition, the implementation of regular maintenance schedules can also solve the thread break problems that occur.

Scleral Dellen: Early Complication Of Pterygium Surgery And Literature Review

Introduction :
 Severe Scleral Dellen is a rare and early postoperative complication of pterygium surgery.
 The various cases reported in the literature are mostly related to this surgical technique; simple excision of the conjunctiva, notably either without adjuvant treatment or using mitomycyine C in preoperative or otherwise beta radiation.
 The particularity of our case is that the scleral Dellen is associated with excision and simple suture of the conjunctiva without adjuvant treatment or cauterization of the vessels. The other particularity of this case is that it is to our knowledge the first case of scleral dellen reported in Morocco, and even at the African level.
 Case report
 This case is a 38-year-old military patient with no medical history
 The patient was scheduled for pterygium surgery.
 16 days later, the patient came back after noticing the appearance of a blackish brown spot at the nasal side of the right eye associated with mild eye pain.
 The slit lamp examination of the involved eye revealed a severe scleral thining, surrounded by an oedematous conjunctiva and the visualization of the ciliary body through the fine sclera. The conjunctival sutures were no longer in place.
 After three days and with treatement, we observed a scleral cicatrization, followed by a gradual covering of the sclera by conjunctiva.
 Discussion :
 In our case as in that described by Garcia-Medina and collaborators, we performed a conjunctival suture with two stitches to cover the sclera. Otherwise, both of the stitches were not found later, which suggests that, like in the Garcia-Medina report; a bad handling by the patient (eye rubbing), loose stitches or even both.
 Thus, the sclera would have been exposed in the two cases.
 Regarding the treatment of this complication, the graft of a conjunctival flap was performed in two cases with favorable evolution.
 In all other cases, only medical treatment has been successfully initiated.
 In our case we opted for medical treatment only, including local antibiotic therapy, intensive lubrication with artificial tears (hourly drop) and the occlusion of the eye. The evolution was also favorable under this treatment.
 Hence, our case is similar to the Garcias-Medina and collaborators one, concerning the surgical technique, and also the scleral Dellen treatment. Although the difference and the particularity of our case was the absence of cauterization use during the surgical act.
 Conclusion:
 Scleral Dellen is rare complication of pterygium surgery, which occurs early after the surgical act.
 Its exact physiopathology remains unknown, but some factors may be incriminated; first of them is the surgical technique as a simple excision with exposed sclera.
 This complication can occur in patients, without any particular medical or ophthalmological history or any underlying pathology. It could also occur for primary pterygium. Medical treatment alone may be appropriate to manage this complication.

Reduction Defect in Sewing Work Stations by Integrating OTSM-TRIZ and FMEA

The problems that occur in PT Sepatu are still many defect products. To improve the quality and reduce the number of defects is to make improvements to the flow of the process by using the DMAI stages. In the Define stage, the determination of the selected critical defect is needle fracture, jump stitch, loose stitch, Upper symmetry, and Upper wrinkling. In the Measure phase, DPMO measurements were carried out at 4028 units and a sigma level of 4.1. In the Analyze stage, analyze complex problems that cause defects in the sewing department using Network of Problem (NoP). The output of Nop in the form of partial solution (Ps) and sub problem (Pb) becomes the FMEA input, which will then be analyzed and measured in the value of the RPN. The potential Failure Mode (s) with the highest RPN score in the FMEA table will be a priority and become the initial input to the OTSM-TRIZ stage procedure. In the Improve phase using 40 selected inventory principles the repair solution performs cleaning and checking the position of the rotary-yarn tip at the start of each shift, gives a sign sticker on the tension ring, makes a tool to check bent needles, conducts employee training and employee skill mapping. From the results of the implementation of recommendations, improvements to the estimated reduction defect of 705 pairs of shoes with sigma 4.3 level

Spinal dural closure without suture: Minimizing the risk of CSF leakage with a flat non-penetrating titanium U-clip

BackgroundThe classic surgical spinal dural closure technique in surgery on intradural lesions is performed with continuous suture or loose stitches using 4-0 to 6-0 polypropylene monofilament or nylon suture. Dural closure with suture causes irritant damage to the dural/arachnoid interface. The penetrating suture causes new dural holes. Even the needle of the suture can cause harm to the patient and the surgeon. For these reasons, other non-penetrating techniques for dural closure have been sought. ObjectiveThe purpose of this review was to show the efficacy of using the titanium clip (U-clip) (Ligaclip-MCA of Ethicon Endo-Surgery, LLC, Medical GmbH, Norderstedt, Germany) with a flat internal surface in spinal neurosurgical procedures, and to evaluate the effects of its use on post-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of a cohort of 50 consecutive patients who underwent intradural spinal surgeries for intradural spinal lesions in the neurosurgery department of our institution between 2013 and 2018. ResultsThe mean follow-up period was 27 months. No patient developed a post-operative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dural-cutaneous fistula. CSF leakage was not observed in the control MRIs at 6 weeks. ConclusionsWe describe, for the first time, the use of this type of U-clip with a flat inner side. The non-penetrating titanium U-clip facilitates effective and rapid dural closure at all spinal levels due to its flat internal face when closed. The U-clips did not cause significant artefacts or distortions on the magnetic resonance imaging.

Analysis of our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of obturator hernia in a third level hospital

Hernia pathology accounts for a large percentage of urgent surgical interventions. Obturator hernia is rare, usually presenting as a picture of acute intestinal occlusion. The aim of the study is to analyze the experience in a third level hospital in the diagnosis and treatment of obturator hernia, as well as to detect those signs that allow an early diagnosis. This is a prospective observational study, which included patients operated on urgently for obturator hernia between 2000 and 2016. For the registration of postoperative morbidity, the Clavien-Dindo classification was used. We identified twelve patients with intestinal obstruction secondary to obturator hernia. All of them were operated on urgently. Urgent midline laparotomy was carried out on 59% of them, infraumbilical laparotomy on 33%, and a posterior inguinal approach was realized on only one patient (8%). In eight patients (67%) it was necessary to perform intestinal resection. Repair was performed by polypropylene mesh in six patients (50%), by plugging in two (17%) and closing with loose stitches in four patients (33%). Four of them presented postoperative complications, recording a single exitus secondary to perforation due to intestinal suffering. Obturator hernia is a rare entity that develops mostly as an occlusive condition in elderly women. The imaging technique of choice for diagnosis is computed tomography. Establishing an early diagnosis and urgent surgical treatment is a priority to reduce associated morbidity and mortality.

Online sewing defect monitoring for SNLS machine by Image Processing Technique

Apparels are subjected to visual examination to detect sewing defects after making of the garments which results in higher rejection, time, cost etc. Sewing defects must be detected early i.e during sewing itself and accurately to overcome above quality issues. Apparels are mostly sewn with lock stitch in straight and curve directions, with different colours and stitches per inch. The paper discuss the on line detection of sewing defects occurring during the sewing process. Common defects such as skipped stitch, missed stitch, or loose stitch occurring in lockstitch are detected and marked. Using image processing methods, the proposed work follows the stitch path by capturing digital images of stich lines in lock stitch sewing machine and processed through PYTHON software to detect the sewing defects and subsequently stop the machine during sewing.

Five Ways to Wear the Balaclava

Five Ways to Wear the Balaclava Judith H. Montgomery (bio) Have you shivered? Has sleet stung your face, numbed your chapped lips? Have you wished for the fleece of the family lamb that ran wild through rows of ripening apricot trees—fleececombed by the fire, spun on the ancient wheel? All day, the covey of mothers murmurs and casts on the ninety loose stitches, singing the oldest songs as they loop the wool double-rib (knit two, purl two), making a helmet of wool to shieldyour face from invading cold. At the door, you pause before boarding. Into your kit she tucks the color of pine forests at dusk, the new balaclava. (Knit to protect the neck's nape, the ear's exposed swerve, cheeks your mamulya kissed when she savedyou from a child’s fall, folded you in her heart.) While the train's uproar fades into the steppe, she thinks of ways you will wear it: cap to cover your head's crown, flesh over bone. As a folded scarf to caress your neck, warm the apple of Adamstuck in your throat. She imagines your convoy paused at the border, late snow lashing you as you cross into Slavyansk, Sevastopol, Balaklava— how you will pull up her knitting to shield your head. But you know also the two other ways toshape this cap. When under the not-moon the you [End Page 62] and you creep into the town now held by what they have said are rebels—tug the dark fabric up to cover your mouth. Now, who could swear to who you might be? Who can say how your teethgleam like wild dogs’ as you flick off the safety? Or, better, pull higher the cover your mother has knit out of her heart: even the shape of your nose might give you away. Only the eyes, which some may hold are the soul’s windows, only the eyesare exposed. Eyes frozen as stones in a deep winter pond. Now anonymous, you may stalk each terrified street, swagger the scope past shattered glass, across broken monuments. Sleek as a tank, you swivel for barricade, spot young fool-hardy hands wrapped around a lit Molotov. Smash in a suspect door, swing the gun hard before you— in this broken-open room, a woman, a fire, a stool, a glint in her lap. Her panicky hands drop the needles, the half-ribbed hat. The wool at her feet is the colorof pine. Color of iron. Color of blood. [End Page 63] Judith H. Montgomery Judith H.

Successful Superficial Temporal Artery-Anterior Cerebral Artery Direct Bypass Using a Long Graft for Moyamoya Disease

Although some patients with moyamoya disease need revascularization in the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) territory, there are few reports on direct bypass in the ACA territory because of the difficult surgical technique. To report our technical strategy for superficial temporal artery (STA)-ACA bypass. We performed simultaneous STA-ACA and STA-middle cerebral artery direct bypasses in 7 patients with moyamoya disease using the following strategies: creating 2 separate craniotomies for the 2 bypasses, dissecting a long STA graft and securing a recipient ACA around the bregma for the STA-ACA bypass, and using loose stitches at the anastomoses. One branch of the STA was dissected for a length of approximately 10 cm. The graft coursed on the brain surface under the bone bridge and was directly anastomosed to the cortical branch of the ACA. At the anastomoses, the stitches were widely spaced and loose to facilitate expansion of the orifice. This method prevented kinking of the graft. Postoperative angiograms revealed good patency of the STA-ACA bypass in all patients. After the bypasses, 5 patients no longer had transient ischemic attacks or stroke, 1 patient was almost completely free of transient ischemic attacks, and 1 patient had only residual contralateral symptoms. In all 7 patients, patency of the bypass was satisfactory during follow-up periods ranging from 9 to 23 months (mean 16.4 months). This method of STA-ACA bypass provides successful and reliable direct revascularization of the ACA territory in patients with moyamoya disease. Further investigation of the possible merit of this surgery in improving cognitive function is warranted.

Effects of Diameter, Number and Tightness of Sutures on Pancreatic Injury Response

Background: We have experimental data indicating that the pancreas is easily damaged by any intervention. The present study compared the effects of suture diameter, number of needle passes and suture tightness on rat pancreas. Methods: Under anesthesia, rat pancreas was sutured either with one loose stitch of 6-0 polydioxanone (PDS II) or 3-0 PDS II, with 5 passes of loose running 6-0 PDS II, or with 6-0 PDS II loop tightened to 0.6 or 1.2 N. Amylase activity and pancreatic tissue histology at the suturing site and farther away, were evaluated 1, 3, 7 and 21 days postoperatively. Results: Each suturing exposure and the sham-operation induced temporary amylase activity elevation on day 1 when compared with the baseline. In histology, 3-0 suture, 5 needle passes and 1.2-newton loop induced more damage than 6-0 suture, single needle pass and 0.6-newton loop, respectively. Similar but milder changes were observed in samples from the remote site. Conclusions: The pancreas reacts to suturing with widespread injury response resembling that of acute pancreatitis. In attempting to reduce suturing-induced widespread injury, as few and thin sutures and as loose suture tightness as possible should be used. Although these findings may seem obvious, they have not previously been proven in terms of histology.

Tailoring the plant metabolome without a loose stitch

Metabolic engineering holds great promise as a technique for improving crop plants. However, introducing new metabolic steps can disturb normal metabolism and gene expression, affecting phenotype and quality in undesired ways. Recently, Charlotte Kristensen et al. reported that introducing the sorghum pathway for biosynthesis of the cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin into Arabidopsis plants resulted in high dhurrin levels and only marginal side effects on the metabolome and the transcriptome.

Initial Evaluation of Robotic Technology for Microsurgical Vasovasostomy

Conventional microscope assisted vasovasostomy (MAVV) is a technically difficult procedure that is most successful in the hands of well-trained microsurgeons. Robotics may help surgeons overcome the microsurgical challenges of tremor, limited dexterity, miniaturized instrumentation and use of fine suture. We determine the feasibility of a robotic assisted vasovasostomy (RAVV) and compare performance measures with those of conventional MAVV. One surgeon performed 10 vasovasostomies with a modified 1-layer technique and 9-zero suture on fresh human vas specimens using the robot in 5 RAVV cases and standard microsurgical instrumentation in 5 MAVV cases. Pre-specified performance measures and adverse haptic events (broken sutures, bent needles or loose stitches) were recorded. Patency was evaluated by instilling saline through the anastomoses. Mean operating time and number of adverse haptic events were higher for RAVV than for MAVV (84 vs 38 minutes, p = 0.01; 2.4 vs 0.0 events, p = 0.03). The number of needle passes required for the 6 full-thickness stitches was similar in both groups (16.8 vs 15.2 passes, p = 0.55). Although no tremor occurred during RAVV, minimal to moderate amounts occurred during MAVV. Minimal fatigue was noted for both groups. Patency was confirmed in all 10 operations. Use of RAVV in this human ex vivo vas model was feasible. While RAVV took longer to perform and was associated with adverse haptic events, elimination of tremor and comparable patency rates suggest that it may be a viable surgical alternative for microsurgical vasovasostomy.

Do Mersilene sutures need to be removed after cataract surgery?

A major disadvantage of nylon sutures is the need to remove them post-operatively to prevent suture fracture and irritation. Mersilene (polyester) sutures do not hydrolyse or disintegrate and are in theory superior to nylon. Fifty-two consecutive patients were examined an average of 3 years after uncomplicated extracapsular cataract extraction with corneal sections sutured with interrupted 11/0 polyester. It was found that 29% had suture-related problems and required, or had previously undergone, suture removal for reasons other than high astigmatism. The most common problem was a loose stitch with adherent mucus and corneal vascularisation (17% of patients at review). Sixty-six per cent of patients with loose sutures reported discomfort. We would not advocate prophylactic removal, but patients with polyester sutures should be advised to return if they become symptomatic.
