The Data Entry Models and Six Sigma Information to Reduce the Defects of Gun Maintenance Process at Gun Maintenance Depot

Abstract

The research had four objectives : 1) to design a data entry model to reduce the defects
found in the Gun Maintenance at Gun Maintenance Depot, 2) to design a Six Sigma information
for reducing the defects found in the Gun Maintenance at Gun Maintenance Depot,
3) to evaluate the user acceptance level of the data entry model, and 4) to evaluate the user
acceptance level of the Six Sigma information.
Tools used in this study included : 1) 8 of the data entry models, 2) 11 of the Six Sigma
information, and 3) the user acceptance evaluation form. The population of this study included all
the 5 users and 25 stakeholders, 30 altogether. The Chi-Square test was used as the data
analysis tool.
The results showed that 1) the users believed that the data entry models were to reduce
the defects mentioned and were to reach the Six Sigma level of quality at 6.0, 2) the stakeholders
believed that the data entry models were to reduce the defects mentioned and were to reach
the Six Sigma level of quality at 2.83, 3) a number of the users accepted the data entry model
was higher than a number of those who did not accepted the model at the .05 significant level
with the acceptance point average of 4.37 out of 5.00 on the 5-level Likert scale, and
4) a number of the stakeholders accepted the data entry model was higher than a number of
those who did not accepted the model at the .05 significant level with the acceptance point
average of 4.28 out of 5.00 on the 5-level Likert scale.
The findings of the research pointed that the use of the Six Sigma quality methodology
into the development of the data entry models and quality information to reduce the defects
found in the gun maintenance at the gun maintenance depot can be used in other maintenance
departments.
