Minimizing Product Defects Based on Labor Performance using Linear Regression and Six Sigma Approach

“…Labor performance also affects product quality, which in turn, plays an important role as a function of cost (Rizzitano et al, 2021). The greater the total number of poor-quality products (product defect), the greater the cost that the company needs to spend and the lesser the income the company could get through its Corresponding author: Filscha Nurprihatin -Department of Industrial Engineering, Sampoerna University, Indonesia e-mail: filschanurprihatin@yahoo.com production (Bakiko et al, 2020). The concept applied by many companies to run their system is to have good labor performance, maximize the production rate, and minimize the cost spent (Bakiko et al, 2020).…”

Both maximizing the production rate and minimizing the cost spent can be well resolved if the company has good labor performance.…”

Assessment of occupational risks: New approaches, improvement, and methodology

“…This system aims to determine the grounds for providing guarantees and compensations to workers in harmful and hazardous working conditions and does not take into account the risks of injury. Today, working conditions with a risk of injury in terms of such parameters as noise, infrasound, vibration, etc., can be assessed as acceptable, therefore, measures to reduce risks and injuries will not be developed (Martyn, 2018;Bakiko et al, 2020;Lin et al, 2021).…”
