Abstract

ABC Printing, located in Bekasi, aims to optimize production performance and product quality, thereby achieving two objectives: first, production efficiency, and second, product quality improvement by preventing defective products from reaching customers. This study focuses solely on the printing process, while post-printing processes are disregarded. Defective products include items unsuitable for processing, such as ink leaks, wrinkles, folds, and more. With a monthly production volume of 3 million units and defects exceeding the planned rate, averaging 100 sheets per day, the improvement goal with Kaizen is to reduce defects to 25 sheets per day. The Continual Improvement technique involves collecting defect data over a period, conducting analysis using Pareto and fishbone diagrams, devising action plans, implementing improvements based on team agreement, and finally refining work procedures and standards, particularly focusing on the top 3 causes of defects. The improvement efforts are anticipated to reduce defects by 25%, or 500 sheets per month.
