Understanding quality in manufacturing starts with defect identification and improvement finding. Reliability that influenced by equipment design or working methods or environment has led to concept of improvement with six sigma method and this has been absorbed in Indonesia industries as well. This article discusses about six sigma implementation in Indonesia from various business and industries. The method is to review research articles that are published within 2016-2020 with keyword DMAIC and six sigma. The results from 52 selected articles is obtained average 3.68 sigma value of Indonesia industries within year 2016-2020 with the least value 1.10 from crude palm oil refinery and the highest is 5.10 from bagging process of sugar refinery. However, six sigma application is not always satisfying concerning its suitability function, requirement of industries, culture, local regulation, and internal business concern, especially in terms of efficiency and cost. Future research is suggested utilizing industry 4.0 concept to enhance six sigma implementations.
Full attention is paid to quality in manufacturing; however, less effort is made to develop the organizational performance, which drives overall manufacturing quality. This research measures performance of one manufacturing company that in 2020 experienced surging in demand and experiencing barriers to social activities due to the pandemic. The evaluation was carried out using seven variables from the Malcolm Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence (MBCfPE) which were elaborated into 43 indicators of organizational performance. Weaknesses and strengths of organizational performance were sharpened through focus group discussions with experts and ended with a performance improvement solution with a priority rank based on risk priority numbers (RPN) of the FMEA method. The highest RPN is 567 and 432, respectively, for national standard implementation in a particular product and operational scheme during emergency conditions like the Cov-19 pandemic. This study contributes to Indonesian research that combines questionnaires and FMEA improvement analysis based on the US Baldrige criterion.
Various organizations in Indonesia collaborate to make various types of medical ventilator prototypes due to Covid-19 demand. PERMENKES RI no. 54/2015 obliged all medical devices must go through testing and inspection process by authorized institution Badan Pengamanan Fasilitas Kesehatan (BPFK) under the Ministry of Health of Republik Indonesia. This article has designed a performance measurement for the ventilator testing laboratory using MBNQA (Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award) approaching which is integrated with ISO/SNI-17025 requirement of both management and technical. There are ten technical requirements and fifteen management requirements of ISO/SNI-17025 inserted into seven Baldrige criteria: leadership, strategic planning, customer focus, management of assessment, analysis & knowledge, personnel, operations and results. Data and information is designed to be collected through interview and questionnaire on a Likert scale. The response score for each question and feedback will be evaluated based on the process and outcome dimensions. Further research is required to validate the questionnaire, conduct interviews, segregate management and laboratory technician questions, and add evaluation of ADLI (approach, dissemination, learning & integration) and LeTCI (levels, trends, comparisons & integration) methods as well the ADLI & LeTCI score and matrix results. The obtained MBNQA score will indicate award category of the laboratory as world leader or benchmark leader or only at early development stage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
