Abstract

Defect and manufacturing industry are like two inseparable entities despite, the defects is a major problem to the manufacturing industry nowadays. Daily production of package devices will tend to produce a large amount of defects. The number of defects and errors should be reduce and minimize to achieve yield equal to 100% as well as to do things right for the first time (Crosby P, 1957). However, it is possible to eliminate 100% defects as stated in Zero Defects. In 1977, Shizuoka plant of Matsushita Electric’s Washing Machine Division, Japan, had proved by achieving the continuous record of one month with zero defects in a drainpipe assembly line operation which involving only 23 workers. Undeclared defects can contribute to highest waste disposal which can reduce the yield. This research emphasize about the effectiveness of quality tools method to reduce the quantity product defects and quantity product loss. Surveys and observations are conducted to obtain authentic information regarding this issue and data was collected quantitatively. As a whole, productions costs can be reduced by reducing waste including scrap largely come from product defects itself. Keywords: product defects, zero defects, reduce, eliminate
