Abstract

Quality has long been a critical metric for determining a company's competitiveness in the business world. The use of tools, methods, and concepts to improve and regulate product quality has been widespread. The purpose of this research is to solve the missing accessories issue that occurs during the packing process by using the Lean Six Sigma tool DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control). As part of the Lean Six Sigma quality effort, the DMAIC technique is frequently defined as a problemsolving methodology and a data-driven quality strategy. The actual root cause for these missing accessories is the lack of a proper validation process during the packing process. A brainstorming session was held to develop solutions to this problem, and one suggestion was to employ the radio frequency identification (RFID) validation system. This new implementation was set up during the kitting process by pasting RFID labels for all accessories. These accessories were validated back during the packing process to ensure no missing accessories after the operator sealed the carton box. After implementing the RFID system, the company managed to reduce the cost of manpower and parts that needed to be replaced in case of missing data. It also improves the efficiency of the business, as the addition of a validation RFID system avoids mistakes by detecting missing accessories before the product is delivered to the customer.
