Application of six sigma and AHP in analysis of variable lead time calibration process instrumentation

ABSTRACT Calibration  of instrumentation equipment in the pharmaceutical industry is an important activity to determine the true value of a measurement. Preliminary studies indicated that occur lead-time  calibration  resulted in disruption of production and laboratory activities. This study aimed to analyze the causes of lead-time  calibration.  Several methods used in this study such as, Six Sigma in order to determine the capability process of the  calibration  instrumentation of equipment. Furthermore, the method of brainstorming, Pareto diagrams, and Fishbone diagrams were used to identify and analyze the problems. Then, the method of Hierarchy Analytical Process (AHP) was used to create a hierarchical structure and prioritize problems. The results showed that the value of DPMO around 40769.23 which was equivalent to the level of sigma in  calibration  equipment approximately 3,24σ. This indicated the need for improvements in the...
