Pengendalian Mutu Kemasan Cup Menggunakan Metode SQC dan Keterkaitannya Terhadap Mutu Air pada Produk AMDK di PT XYZ

Abstract

Air Minum Dalam Kemasan (AMDK) merupakan air yang telah diproses, tanpa bahan pangan lainnya dan bahan tambahan pangan. AMDK harus memiliki mutu yang baik karena berperan penting untuk menjaga keamanan konsumen. Penelitian di PT XYZ bertujuan mengatasi masalah kecacatan kemasan AMDK cup 200 ml dengan menggunakan metode Statistical Quality Control (SQC) dan analisis komparatif terhadap SNI 3553:2023. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jenis kecacatan terdiri atas cup tipis (72%), cup penyok (23%), dan cup meleleh (5%). Penyebab utamanya karena ketidaksesuaian SOP, kurangnya pengalaman operator, spesifikasi ketebalan bahan yang tidak tepat. Setelah dilakukan pembaruan SOP dan pelatihan operator, tingkat kecacatan berhasil diturunkan sehingga proses produksi menjadi lebih terkendali. Pengujian laboratorium mengonfirmasi bahwa mutu air di dalam kemasan cacat tersebut masih memenuhi standar SNI, meskipun cup yang meleleh tetap memiliki potensi risiko kontaminasi jangka panjang.

Bottled drinking water is water that has undergone processing, without the addition of any other food ingredients or food additives. Bottled drinking water must possess good quality, as it plays a critical role in safeguarding consumer safety. This research at PT XYZ aims to address the problem of packaging defects in 200 ml cup-packaged bottled drinking water through the application of Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods and a comparative analysis against SNI 3553:2023. The results indicate that the types of defects consist of thin cups (72%), dented cups (23%), and melted cups (5%). The primary causes were identified as non-conformance to SOPs, insufficient operator experience, and inaccurate material thickness specifications. Following the revision of the SOP and the implementation of operator training, the defect rate was successfully reduced, resulting in a more controlled production process. Laboratory testing confirmed that the quality of the water contained within the defective packaging still met SNI standards, although melted cups continued to carry a potential risk of long-term contamination.
