Abstract

Abstract. Construction projects often face challenges in maintaining quality, one of which is structural defects that can affect the quality and safety of the building. This study aims to analyze the level of defects in column, beam, and slab structures using the Six Sigma DMAIC method and provide solutions to improve these defects. The study was conducted on the Emirates Indonesia Cardiology Hospital Building Construction Project in Surakarta. The method used is a quantitative descriptive approach with the stages of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. Data were obtained through field observations, interviews, documentation, and secondary project data. The analysis results show that the average sigma level value is above 3, with the highest level in the column structure reaching 4.3 sigma for the type of concrete flow defect. The main causes of defects come from human factors, work methods, materials, and supervision. Improvement solutions are formulated using a fishbone diagram analysis approach and the assistance of NVIVO software for qualitative data analysis. This study shows that the Six Sigma DMAIC method is effective in identifying and reducing defects in concrete structure work and can be used as a quality control strategy in construction projects.Keywords: Six Sigma, DMAIC, Structural Defects, Construction Quality, NVIVO

Abstract

Change orders resulted in a total time deviation of 45 days (18.75%) from the initial plan, with the most substantial delays in structural and MEP work. Regarding labor costs, MEP work experienced the largest deviation at 25% (IDR 150,000,000), followed by foundation work (16.67%), structural work (15%), and architectural work (10%). Change orders also impacted labor productivity, particularly in MEP work (-25%), followed by foundation (-16%), structural (-12.5%), and architectural work (-12.5%). These productivity decreases resulted from changes in work methods, increased complexity, and adaptation requirements to new specifications. The study recommends several measures to minimize change order impacts: more thorough design reviews before implementation, allocation of time and cost buffers, improved documentation and approval systems, and more flexible workforce planning. Effective change order management is crucial for maintaining overall project success.
