The Application of Traffic Light System on CV X

Abstract

One of ways to do quality control is to duplicate the method of Traffic Light System (TLS). The Traffic Light System works in the same way as the traffic light system in transportation. It has red, yellow and green lights. The red light shows that production must stop because there are many defects produced in the production process. Yellow lights mean warning signs and for green lights means that production runs smoothly without any defects. The Traffic Light System in the garment industry is designed to mark problems found in the production process that allow immediate action to be taken from all production processes that have the potential to produce defective products. Traffic Light System can be used to do quality control effectively. At the same time it can also measure the level of performance of each operator in order to make products meet the standards. CV X produces Muslim fashion. When producing veils, there were problems with the number of products has seam defects, 452 pieces from the total production of 3157 pieces (14.31%). After applying the Traffic Light System method, the number of product defects was reduced to 230 pieces from the total production of 3058 pieces (7.52%). After the implementation of the Traffic Light System in the company, there was a decrease in defective products 6.79%.
