    The objective of this research is to examine and address issues related to the quality of the automatic fare collection system for the new Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line and to decrease maintenance time to meet the key performance indicator (KPI) set by the Mass Rapid Transit Authority (MRTA). A total of 1,497 work orders were collected from a survey conducted between June and August 2023. The study utilizes the DMAIC methodology and identifies the primary issue as “Note Module Faulty” commands on the Ticket Vending Machine (TVM), particularly for cash transactions where banknotes become stuck in the banknote acceptor (BNA) section, resulting in transaction failures. After conducting a root cause analysis, it was determined that the problem stemmed from the inadequate design of the banknote acceptor for the new polymer banknotes, Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film. Following the resolution of the problem, it was noted that the daily influx of work orders follows an exponential decay trend, represented by the equation Yt = 3.525x(0.97803t), and the maintenance time has decreased from 62 minutes per work order to 9.27 minutes per work order.

    The purpose of this research is to apply DMAIC approach of Six sigma methodology to reduce the loss of sanitary ware in the production line. The warpage problem is one of defectives usually found in production after firing process. The warpage is the deformation of shape and dimension of sanitary wares which cause them look nonconforming and poor appearance. The toilet bowl, AC19 Model, highly demand model, is the case of this study since it has high warpage problem consisting of 17% of total defectives. Six sigma methodology associated with Shainin DOE are used to investigate the root causes in order to increase production yield. The primary area is variation in forming process and the design of plastic mold. The location of warpage is frequently found near the back of sanitary ware that is used to connect to the wall. After some experiments are taken to find the causes, the first important factor is the flatness of base clay ware and the second is the flatness of clay batt, a support sheet. The redesign of a base day ware and quality control of a clay batt are implemented as practical solutions. The warpage defect problem is reduced from 10.94% to 2.56% during the control phase that can prospectively improve production yield of this AC19 model almost 10%.
