| Abstract | This study aims at understanding the related problems which affect the processes and quality of the final product during paper production. As an age-long problem in the paper production industry, web-flutter of paper and unwanted folding in the final product could be often seen, so steps towards managing these problems are continually developed. However, identifying and understanding the root causes of these problems has been a grey-area due to the complexity involved during paper production processes. This study adopted the Six Sigma methodology to try to identify what factors/parameters are influencing the occurrence of webflutter during paper production processes at SCA Edet mill. It also highlighted other root causes for the unwanted folding in the final product of tissue paper at the paper mill. Six Sigma is a methodology which can be used for root cause identification, problem-solving and improving processes in manufacturing/production. The methodology often follows the DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) framework in its application. |
