PT Everbright is known as a private company that produces dry batteries in Indonesia. One of PT Everbright's product that has been known by people is the ABC battery. In producing ABC batteries, PT Everbright uses advanced technology, machines, and laboratories to produce high quality products. PT Everbright is also equipped with a control system with standard procedures in monitoring all production process at every stage to ensure the best battery quality. One of the proofs is that the company have ISO 9001 certification. There is a problem when producing dry batteries in the factory, especially for the UM-3 battery type. That there are still many defective products from the production process carried out. The results of the defective products are obtained from the results of inspections by inspectors so that the defective product doesn’t reach the hands of consumers. The number of defective products has made PT Everbright not yet achieved six sigma until now. Therefore, research will be conducted on the quality of PT Everbright’s products using the six sigma methodology. The output of this research are the factors that cause defects that make PT Everbright not reach the level of six sigma and solutions to the factors that cause these defects.
