SMI has many problems <strong>in</strong> their company specifically <strong>in</strong> theprocess<strong>in</strong>g l<strong>in</strong>e. This is because they just focus<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> produc<strong>in</strong>g the products and nottak<strong>in</strong>g the lack occur <strong>in</strong> the process<strong>in</strong>g very well. This study is about to apply the<strong>quality</strong> <strong>tools</strong> <strong>in</strong> the process<strong>in</strong>g l<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong> order to identify where the highest waste isoccur at and to give suggestion for improvement at the major waste <strong>in</strong>volves <strong>in</strong> theprocess<strong>in</strong>g l<strong>in</strong>e.
