CONTROL ANALYSIS OF SUGAR PACKAGING BY USING OF SEVEN TOOLS

Abstract

Quality is a factor that can increase product competitiveness. In improving
products quality is necessary to control the quality (Quality Control) of the
process activities. This study aims to determine the quality control of
granulated sugar packaging process by using the seven tool method
consisting of check sheet, histogram, Pareto chart, flow chart, scatter
diagram, control chart and fishbone diagram. From 30 days observation
concluded that the highest type of damage consist of metal detection by 145
bags and torn packaging by 50 bags. Then, from the results of control chart
known that out of control process still happen. Both types of damage then
revised, and process capability analysis is carried out, so can be concluded
that the process is not capable in making the product according to
specifications. Therefore, an analysis using fishbone diagram shows that the
causes of damage are human, working methods, and machines. From these
factors, Standard Operating Procedures can be done as well as designing new
machines in packaging process.
