Quality control is applied to achieve company’s vision to be a distinguished cement company in south east region. The objective of this article is to analyze the process quality control and assign six sigma methods to do so. It results 4.44 sigma with DPMO value of 1,638.6 which shows that the company is within USA average performance in similar industry. In addition, this article identify the CTO priority is the damaged sack. The causes of this damage are coming from factors such as methods, machine, human, environment and materials. Considering its urgency, failure mode that need to be prioritized are censors, cut belt conveyor, filling tube, saddle back. The remedial efforts for such failures are: (1) Consistently supervise workers; (2) routine check on packer machines; (3) develop standard operating procedures; (4) machines maintenance; (5) employee training.
