Abstract

Packaging is a container or wrapper that is useful for preventing or minimizing damage to packaged products. Industry X is one of the companies engaged in beverage packaging, and the important thing is to adjust the packagings quality of the products. The first primary packaging of tea products is preform that is a semi-finished plastic bottle with PET, its small and light shape causes the preform to be widely used by companies because it can reduce transportation costs. Quality control is carried out by the company so that the products are in accordance with predetermined standards and in accordance with the consumers expectation. The purpose of this research is to reduce the disability that occurs so that the productivity of the company increases. In an effort to solve this problem used statistical quality control (SQC) and any analysis of failure modes and effects (FMEA). From the research conducted using SQC, the results show that the highest amount of damage occurred in February 2019 of 3.95%. While the results of the risk analysis using FMEA showed that defective preform was the main risk that needed to be controlled because it had an RPN of 294 due to supplier errors.
