. In the era of global competition, companies face challenges in maintaining their existence and enhancing competitiveness. This study aims to analyze the influence of quality control circles (QCC) and trust on achieving world-class status at Company X. The research employs a quantitative method using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 3 software. Primary data were collected through online questionnaires involving 50 respondents, who are employees of Company X. The results show that QCC has a positive and significant influence on trust (T Statistic = 46.771, p = 0.000). However, quality control circles do not have a significant direct influence on world-class status (T Statistic = 0.248, p = 0.804). Furthermore, trust does not have a significant influence on achieving world-class status (T Statistic = 0.110, p = 0.913) and does not act as an effective mediator in the relationship between QCC and world-class status (T Statistic = 0.107, p = 0.915). In conclusion, although quality control circles can enhance employees' trust in management, trust alone is insufficient to drive the achievement of world-class status.

PT.

The factors that cause the failure to achieve the production operation target can be due to ineffective equipment performance, Low equipment performance is one of the things that cause production not to be achieved, so it needs to be studied. The purpose of the study to be achieved is to analyze the actual productivity of loading and unloading equipment and transportation equipment after repairs and conduct improvement analysis using the Quality Control Circle (QCC) method. The data taken for the research is in the form of Excavator and dump truck cycle time data, effective working time, tool specifications. The actual productivity of loading and unloading equipment and transportation equipment at PT. Pebana Adi Sarana for dump trucks of 19,146 tons/month. trucks are 16,351 tons/month while for the Quality Control Circle (QCC) method.
