Abstract

Background The textile industry is required to consistently produce high-quality products to maintain competitiveness in an increasingly competitive global market. One of the major quality challenges in spinning industries is the occurrence of product defects that reduce production efficiency and increase manufacturing costs Purpose This study aimed to analyze the quality control performance of Rayon Ne 30 yarn production at PT. X using the Six Sigma DMAIC (Define–Measure–Analyze–Improve–Control) methodology. Methodology A quantitative descriptive approach was employed using historical production and quality control data collected from January to April 2026. Data were analyzed through Critical to Quality (CTQ) identification, Pareto analysis, Defects Per Million Opportunities (DPMO), Sigma capability measurement, Statistical Process Control (SPC) using P-chart, Fishbone analysis, and Five Whys analysis to identify dominant root causes. Findings The results indicated that the production process experienced fluctuating defect levels throughout the observation period, with the highest defect rate occurring in April. Crossing was identified as the dominant defect, followed by Ring and Loose Winding, collectively contributing approximately 85% of total production defects. Implications Process capability analysis showed that the production process had not yet achieved the Six Sigma performance target, while SPC analysis indicated the presence of process variation requiring further investigation. Root cause analysis revealed that machine setting instability, inadequate preventive maintenance, inconsistent operating methods, and operator-related factors were the primary contributors to defect occurrence. Originality Based on these findings, several improvement strategies were proposed, including preventive maintenance scheduling, machine calibration standardization, operator competency improvement, and standardized operating procedures. Since the proposed improvements were not implemented during the study period, their effectiveness could not be statistically validated. Future studies are recommended to conduct industrial implementation and long-term monitoring to evaluate the impact of the proposed improvements on process capability and defect reduction.

Abstract

Conventional waste bank management often faces challenges regarding transaction data recording accuracy, the risk of incorrect resident ID entry, and delays in updating savings balance information. This research aims to design and implement a digitized, web-based independent waste bank information system using Google Apps Script (GAS), Google Sheets as the database, and Bootstrap for the user interface. The design methodology focuses on minimizing human error by implementing a "Resident ID Master Input" feature (Single Input Gate) that integrates and locks transaction data, alongside a "Live Calculator" for real-time Rupiah value simulations based on pricing data from the *Harga_Komoditas* (Commodity Prices) sheet. Testing results demonstrate that the system successfully eliminates ID input errors across transaction modules (Waste Deposit and Cash Withdrawal), presents transaction history in reverse-chronological order (newest first) with precise timestamps, and displays resident financial data instantly without synchronization delays.

Abstract

Background Manual student attendance recording in educational institutions is inefficient, error prone, and susceptible to proxy attendance (titip absen). Physical presence recapitulation also delays real time attendance reporting for administrators and parents. Purpose This study designs, implements, and evaluates an Android based attendance information system incorporating dual factor verification through dynamic QR codes and location based geofencing. Methodology The system combines dynamically rotating QR tokens (60 second expiration) with the Haversine formula for real time GPS distance validation within a 50M radius boundary. System performance and user acceptance were evaluated using Black box testing, UAT, MOS surveys (N = 5 teachers, N = 30 students), response latency benchmarking, and server load stress testing up to 100 concurrent requests. Findings Empirical evaluation demonstrates that the proposed system reduces classroom attendance duration from an average of 12.5 minutes (10 to 15 minutes) to 1.4 minutes per class session, achieving an 88.8% reduction in administrative time. The average MOS satisfaction score reached 4.57/5.00 for teachers and 4.62/5.00 for students (Excellent category). Response latency benchmarks yielded an average response time of 245 ms under standard operational conditions, maintaining a 0.0% error under load tests up to 50 concurrent requests. Implications The solution offers primary educational institutions a cost effective attendance verification without requiring dedicated door terminal hardware, while providing guidelines for managing indoor GPS signal drift. Originality The primary scientific contribution lies in integrating short lived cryptographic QR tokens with GPS geofencing on commodity mobile devices, providing a zero hardware, zero proxy presence verification mechanism tailored for primary schools.

Abstract

Background Retail demand forecasting across multiple aggregation levels is essential for consistent strategic and operational decision-making. Purpose This study develops an explainable hierarchical forecasting framework for weekly retail sales using Seasonal Naive, XGBoost, and LightGBM base models with Base Forecast, Bottom-Up, MinT-OLS, and MinT-Shrink reconciliation. Methodology Unlike single-level retail studies, the framework jointly evaluates accuracy, cross-level coherence, and TreeSHAP interpretability at total, category, and subcategory levels under leakage-safe temporal validation. The Kaggle Superstore Sales Analysis dataset was aggregated into 209 weekly periods containing one total-sales series, three category series, and 17 subcategory series. Findings The final four weeks were reserved as a strict holdout, while the preceding 205 weeks were evaluated using five expanding-window rolling-origin folds with a four-week horizon. LightGBM with MinT-OLS was selected by cross-validation, achieving an MAE of 1,344.3577, RMSE of 2,465.7518, WAPE of 48.4886%, MASE of 2.5970, and zero coherence error. When refitted on the full development period, the selected configuration achieved a holdout WAPE of 63.9589%. TreeSHAP identified rolling_mean_13, lag_52, rolling_mean_8, rolling_std_13, and lag_26 as the strongest predictors. Implications The dependence plot revealed a nonlinear increase in the contribution of rolling_mean_13, moderated by annual-lag conditions. Originality These results demonstrate that reconciliation can improve volume-weighted accuracy and eliminate contradictory forecasts, although intermittent subcategory demand and holdout variability remain important limitations.
