With the increasing era of globalization today, competition in the industrial sector is becoming increasingly fierce and competitive. With the development of modern technology for the better but on the other hand raises problems for the environment. Every business actor who wants to win the competition must pay full attention to the quality of the products or services produced, at a low cost, the right time and quantity, and safe conditions. This study aims to analyze and reduce waste of packaging waste at PT XYZ, a manufacturing company engaged in the manufacture of medicines and vaccines. In the last 7 months, there were 1,906 pcs of defective packaging out of a total of 204,940 pcs used. The defects were caused by mold, misprinted information, faded colors, and lack of glue on the packaging. The methods used in this research are Pareto diagram and fishbone diagram. Pareto diagrams are used to identify dominant product defects, while fishbone diagrams are used to identify the causes of defects. It is expected that the results of this research can help PT XYZ reduce packaging waste and improve the quality of their products. By reducing packaging waste, PT XYZ can also contribute to reducing negative impacts on the environment.

This study aims to describe the period of return of electronic goods warranty system from the perspective of shafi'I school of thought and the period of return of electronic goods warranty system according to consumer protection law number 8 article 27 letter (e) of 1999. The research method used is a qualitative method through data techniques in the form of, observation, and documentation. The analysis technique uses the content analysis method. The results of the study concluded that: Imam Shafi'i Mazhab argues that the state of khiyar is not more than three days, it is a relief (rukshah).  In transactions, especially electronic products, manufacturers use a warranty system that is in accordance with Law No. 8 Article 27 letter (e). The period to sue for defective goods is 4 years or according to the contract, not exceeding the maximum period.

Quality control is crucial for the company to minimize the existence of defective products. The research focuses on the quality control section. The purpose of this study is to find out how the implementation of quality control occurs at PT Andalan Mandiri Busana, identify the factors that cause defects in garment products, and determine proposed improvements as an effort to suppress defective products. The results showed that there were factors that caused production defects and the biggest cause was broken stitches, and the sigma value obtained was 4.15, which means that the company has carried out pretty good quality control. Based on this research, the recommendations that can be given are in the improve stage, in the form of a table of proposed improvements using the Five M-checklist approach and Kaizen based on fishbone diagrams. The results of this study are expected to be one of the inputs for companies in implementing quality control and can increase the company's sigma level.

PT Romi Violeta Sidoarjo is one of the furniture companies in Indonesia, specializing in rattan and wood products, offering them to the global market. Quality is also a key factor for the company, as good quality is considered an achievement. In the production process, there are inevitably product errors that do not meet specifications or defects, one of which occurs during the finishing process, where there are 8 types of defects. In the data of the quality control department for finishing in the year 2022, there were 246 instances of defects out of a total production of 10,921. This can hinder further production processes, and the company will incur losses due to costs and expenses for repairing defective products. The research is conducted with the aim of determining the level of product quality control, the causes of product defects, and preventive actions or improvement proposals to reduce the defect rate. The method used in this research is Statistical Process Control (SPC), which aims to minimize the defect rate. From the calculations and analysis of the Statistical Process Control (SPC) results for the eight types of defects, the dominant defect type is color variation, which accounts for 67 instances with a percentage of 27.2%. Furthermore, on the control chart calculations, findings were made for the data samples in January, June, August, and September. The cause-and-effect diagram revealed factors such as human, machine, raw materials, methods, and the environment that can contribute to defects. However, the largest cause is human error, as almost 90% of the finishing work is done by humans, often without following the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) set by the company.

PK. Rosella Baru is a company operating in the plastic sack industry. In the production process of plastic sacks, there are several stages, including the production of plastic thread. The company still encounters a significant number of defects in the plastic thread, exceeding 2%, resulting in obstacles in the weaving process of the sacks and suboptimal production output. The research utilizes the Statistical Process Control method to identify solutions for quality control of the plastic thread products at PK. Rosella Baru. Based on the Pareto diagram, the most dominant defect is found in the unevenness of thread rolls, accounting for 43.3% of the defects. The control chart analysis shows that there are samples exceeding the upper control limit (UCL) in samples 1 and 9, and data exceeding the lower control limit (LCL) in samples 3 and 6. The cause and effect diagram identifies five factors: labor, machine, material, method, and environment. The most dominant cause is the lack of training for the workforce and insufficient maintenance of the machines, resulting in defective plastic thread. Therefore, the suggested solution is to perform regular machine maintenance, provide training to the workforce, and pay attention to machine settings and the quality of raw materials used.

PT Kusuma Mulia Plasindo Infitex is a company engaged in the manufacturing sector that produces polypropylene and HD (Hight density Polyethylene) plastic products. The problem that occurred at PT Kusuma Mulia Plasindo Infitex was that the number of defective products on HD plastic products of 98,327 kg contained 4,194 kg of defective products. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that cause defects and suggestions for improvements to minimize defective products. This study uses the six sigma method which is useful for finding the root causes of problems that are adjusted to the characteristics of the data they have. The 5 stages of six sigma are DMAIC(define, measure, analyze, improve, control) and kaizen is the Five M-Checklist. So from the results of data processing, the value is obtained in the form of DPMO 8393.048 and a sigma value of 2.49. Proposed improvements include providing training in plastic welding, providing additional 5-10 minute breaks and supervision while working. Perform routine machine maintenance every month and cleaning every day. Adding ventilation and blowers in the production room. Carry out the production process according to the existing SOP at the company, especially in mixing materials according to the SOP for raw materials that have been made by the company.

PT. Kali Jaya Putra is a manufacturing company that focuses on the production of wood floors. One of the products produced is solid flooring. In a series of production processes, product defects are still found up to 7.5% of total production, defects that often occur such as cracks, pinholes, roughness, and also twists which certainly affect product quality. The research conducted aims to determine the percentage of defective products, the causes of defects and the resulting impacts or effects, and to provide recommendations for improvements to minimize the percentage of defects in solid flooring products at PT Kali Jaya Putra. The method used is Six Sigma and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). The results of this study are that the most dominating defects are crack (53.75%), followed by pinhole defects (36.77%), twist (8.62%), and roughness (0.85%). The causes of defects in products are caused by several factors such as humans, machines, methods, materials, and the environment. Based on FMEA, it is known that the cause of the defect with the highest RPN is 384, namely operator negligence in material sorting. As for recommendations for improvement that can be given, namely conducting training on the grading of raw materials in the hope of minimizing operator errors in sorting raw materials.
