Abstract

Quality is when it meets the wants and expectations of customers or even exceeds them. Every company must raise the quality of its current products and services. A complete and adaptable approach for establishing, maintaining, and maximizing company success is Six Sigma. Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) is one of the tools used to implement Six Sigma. PT. KRM is one company engaged in the automotive sector, which produces Colt Diesel trucks. This research focuses on the welding processes. Defective products were found in as much as 5% of total production, exceeding the company's target of 3%. This research was conducted to determine the process capability based on product defects with the Six Sigma DMAIC method approach, then to find out the proposal for implementing quality control by analyzing the causes of defects in the production process and then looking for continuous improvement with the 5W+1H concept. The improvement was made to decrease the DPMO value of 4.496 and increase the sigma value of 0.19. This study demonstrates how the Six Sigma DMAIC approach can improve the quality of the cabin production process for the part side outer pillar LH. This case can help company managers apply Six Sigma methods to solve complex problems in other processes.

Abstract

This study investigates the operational performance and sustainability of two urban minibus routes D41 (Gandaria–Cibinong) and D37 (Cibinong–Kampung Rambutan) in the Depok–Bogor region of Indonesia. Using field observations and GPS-assisted time tracking, three indicators were analyzed: passenger load factor, operational headway, and travel time. Results show that while both routes exceeded the government’s 70% load factor benchmark during peak hours, performance dropped below 50% at midday. Headway generally remained within the acceptable range of 2–5 minutes, but D37 exhibited the shortest intervals during morning peaks. D37 also experienced prolonged travel times, often exceeding 80 minutes. These findings highlight the inefficiencies of informal public transport systems, particularly their inability to scale services to match fluctuating demand. This study proposes a low-cost, data-driven framework for assessing route efficiency and supports the integration of informal routes into broader transport planning. The results are relevant to urban mobility reform in developing cities.

Abstract

In automotive component manufacturing, an efficient plant layout minimizes material handling costs (MFCs). The problem is the high material handling costs for the production of 2DIN Radio Bracket MK 56660 at PT XYZ because it is produced at two factories, Factory 1 and Factory 9, which are pretty far apart. Using the Computerized Relative Facility Allocation Technique (CRAFT), this study aims to optimize the plant layout by exploring alternative configurations that facilitate cost-effective material handling. The initial assessment of the 2DIN Radio Bracket MK 56660 layout revealed a material transfer cost. Applying the CRAFT method, two different alternative proposals for layout improvement emerged. The first alternative showed a reduction in material transfer costs of IDR 476.11. In contrast, the second alternative resulted in a slightly higher cost of IDR 476.21. The study findings concluded that the first alternative, with the lowest cost of IDR 476.11, is the preferred choice to improve the plant layout and minimize MMF. This study provides practical insights into plant layout optimization in the automotive component industry and underscores the effectiveness of the CRAFT method in identifying cost-effective solutions to material handling challenges.

Abstract

The manufacturing industry extensively utilizes machining and casting processes for die fabrication. Due to the inherent dimensional inaccuracies and surface roughness of casting, machining is often required to achieve desired accuracy and finish. Traditional computerized numerical control machining relies on individual programming using macro programming or computer-aided manufacturing software for operations such as facing, which can be inefficient and prone to error. This study aims to evaluate and compare the efficiency and accuracy of macro programming and CAM 2.5D in CNC milling specifically for press die manufacturing. Macro programming is used for automating complex and repetitive machining by incorporating variables, expressions, and logic directly to machine whereas CAM 2.5D refers to programming using software in G-code format with capability to work not only two-dimensional planes but also limited vertical movement. Experimental results indicate that CAM 2.5D offers a time-saving advantage by about 2 hours while macro programming allows for greater accuracy in machining. Industries are encouraged to utilize both macro programming and CAM 2.5D to achieve a balance of speed, accuracy, and flexibility, optimizing their CNC machining processes for both large-scale and precision-focused operations.

Abstract

This study focuses on improving the quarter trim bracket mold in the mold making division to mitigate the risk of ejector marks, which were identified through long-term analysis. The author redesigned the mold by considering the ejector layout, cooling layout, clamping force calculations, and number of pressure plates, to ensure the product is free from defects. The addition of an ejector pin in the rib area is proposed as a solution to minimize this problem. The quarter trim bracket mold is designed using two pressure plates measuring 30 x 60 mm and four measuring 30 x 80 mm, with a total pressure plate area reaching 13,200 mm². Based on calculations, this part requires a clamping force of 14.5 tons to be produced on a 30 ton capacity injection machine. This clamping force is important to keep the mold tightly closed during the production process, and is calculated based on the cavity pressure in the mold and the shot area. All mold designs are created following company standards to ensure accuracy of sizes and calculations. This research is expected to improve production quality and operational efficiency.

Abstract

Plastic injection molding is a method of forming a product that uses plastic (Polymer) as the main material. The resulting product must have as few defects as possible because it will reduce the quality value and customer satisfaction. In this study, the mold was made for the Front towing bumper cover product with the design and simulation stages. The simulation process uses Moldflow Software to identify possible product defects that occur with variations in melt temperature of 200, 240, and 280 (°C). The result obtained in this simulation is the optimal melt temperature for producing products in the injection molding process by selecting a temperature of 240°C. This temperature is the most optimal because it has faster fill time and cooling time, with an optimum percentage of 25% compared to the temperatures of 200 and 280 (°C). In potential defects such as air traps, weldlines, and shinkmarks, a temperature of 240 (°C) has fewer potential defects than 200 and 280 (°C).

Abstract

Modern manufacturing industries demand high efficiency and consistent product quality, especially in metal forming processes such as stamping dies. An accurate punch and die design essential to ensure the success of bending operations, particularly for metal-based products like forks. This study aims to evaluate the structural reliability of punch and die designs through a static simulation approach as a quality confirmation method prior to manufacturing. The methodology includes die geometry design, selection of SKD11 tool steel based on its mechanical properties, and stress analysis using SolidWorks software under a static load of 35 tons. The stress distribution was analyzed using the Von Mises method, and the Factor of Safety (FOS) was calculated as a design safety indicator. Simulation results show that the maximum stress on the die was 9.91 × 10⁷ N/m² and on the punch was 1.01 × 10⁸ N/m², both well below the yield strength of SKD11 (6.88 × 10⁸ N/m²). The FOS values of 3.47 for the die and 3.26 for the punch confirm structural safety. Validation through trial dies and 3D scanner measurements indicated dimensional deviations within the acceptable tolerance range. This approach effective for improving design accuracy and production efficiency in stamping die manufacturing.

Abstract

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in community economic development, yet many neglect occupational safety and health (OSH) and ergonomic considerations for their workforce. An initial assessment at Gelora Bakery, a small-to-medium bakery enterprise in Jakarta, revealed significant ergonomic and safety deficiencies. Workers frequently engaged in unsafe manual handling tasks—bending awkwardly while lifting heavy loads such as flour sacks, baking material buckets, and butter containers without mechanical support. These unsafe working conditions pose a substantial risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among workers. To address these concerns, this research employs the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), a standard ergonomic evaluation method, to systematically assess worker postures and quantify the risk of musculoskeletal injury. Based on the results of the REBA assessment, the highest score obtained was 10. This rating indicates a high-risk category and requires implementation of changes. This study formulates evidence-based recommendations for improving workplace safety and worker posture at Gelora Bakery. The implementation of ingredient storage shelves represents the primary intervention recommended to create a safer, healthier, and more efficient work environment.
