Abstract :
A research on the application of statistical quality control technique was conducted in a furniture manufacturing company. This company produces a variety of wooden furniture, such as tables and chairs, to cater local and overseas customers. Based on initial observation, it was found that the product with the highest percentage of defects is the folding chairs. Statistical quality control technique was applied to ensure that the products meet the standard specified. This research identified five major defects based on the pareto rules. Those defects are pin holes (26.03%), heart wood (22.5%), breakage (17.57%), cracks (17.57%) and discoloration (8.7%). The DPMO for the folding chair production is 5,135.77 and the daily unreworkable cost for one of the components of the chair is IDR 1,961,630.
