Abstract

This study aims to contribute to a better understanding of burglary on campus. A DMAIC model of six sigma was done to decrease burglary rate on campus. The model systematically defines five stages of definition, measurement, analysis, and control as the step of execution. And through measurement, we quantify stolen equipment. Improvement strategy is further proposed via the result acquired from tool analysis. The coordination with control model helps to solve and improve problems in time and also helps to monitor and keep efficiency result within required area. The result shows burglary rate is cut down through the use of DMAIC model of six sigma.

Key words: Six sigma, DMAIC model, burglary, cause and effect diagram.
