As part of the companys goal to gain more output product with quality, enhancement in production process should be done. Requiring each processes in improving its capacity to cope up with the sudden increase of demand. DET (Dynamic Electric Testing) being one of the key process which were observed in production line to fail the expected plan capacity were challenge by this sudden change. Tight observation and analysis were conducted for two straight weeks using two normal operators. Cycle time and production output were recorded during the course of the study. In order to solve the problem, Six sigma approach were used to solve manufacturing related issues. Tools like DMAIC and Fishbone diagram helped in analyzing the gathered data. Data shows that hand held scanning method by each operator impacted with the bottleneck of DET process. To address this problem, design and implementation of a batching tool were formed. A customized tool for batching was developed and used to handle the stress encountered in the production line. The result was a success that effect in the reduction of 2 to 1 manpower and increase in DET capacity. The key to this project was the design and implementation of a batching tool in accordance with the increase of demand. It is indeed a breakthrough in process improvement on producing a machine that eliminates such observation. This project may be adopted by other HGST sites for further improvement but must be design according to their own specification.
