Abstract:
This research aims to decrease faults from the complaints by the customer from the case study companys truck modification, focusing on customers order truck modification. The study has shown that damaged chassis have the greatest number of complaints, which negatively affects both safety of users and the companys image. Therefore, the researcher has applied the Six Sigma technique with DMAIC methods to improve the quality of welding modification process. The Box-Behnken Design has been used to find the appropriate level of factors from the three factors used in the study which are current, voltage and gas flow. In the experiment, the researcher studied the behavior of welding staff divided into 2 groups. There are slow and fast welding behavior group. The researcher has collected and analyzed statistical significance showing that current, voltage and gas flow have significantly caused the faults: the appropriate for slow welding behavior group, current is 185A, voltage is 150V and gas flow is 20 liter/min and fast welding behavior group, current is 235A, voltage is 175V and gas flow is 30 liter/min. This improvement has diminished proportion of faults in welding modification process from 0.60% to 0.12% and from 0.72% to 0.20% for slow and fast welding behavior group respectively which resulted in decreased repairing expenses of the case study company.
