Cost Efficiency With Pdca System Using Quality Control Circle (Qcc) Method In Pt. Xyz Sidoarjo District

Abstract

Businesses develop very fast, therefore companies need the ability to compete. To win the competition,  companies must manage production costs. PT XYZ is a manufacturing company that produces cocoa  powder. PT ZXY has planned to reduce production costs by establishing a Quality Control Circle (QCC)  using the PDCA system. QCC has identified that purchasing 2 ply paper bag packaging (PB2PL) for  semi-finished material packaging is the cause of inefficient production costs. QCC has conducted  efficiency experiments with reused PB2PL. The results of the analysis have shown the efficiency of using  9818 pcs to 3500 pcs per month. Reusing PB2PL has resulted in cost efficiency per month of Rp.  47,859,052 (first reuse), Rp. 38,708,676 (second reuse), and Rp. 29,558,300 (third reuse). QCC  implemented the PB2PL reuse strategy for two months, has obtained a total cost efficiency of Rp.  97,891,759. The PB2PL reuse strategy requires an SOP that can be used as a standard reference for  the next use of PB2PL.
