The problems faced by PT ABC is the percentage of defects in base oil products which is still quite high at 57.79%, so improvements are needed in order to reduce the percentage of defects. This study aims to determine the critical to quality (CTQ) in the production of base oil at PT ABC, determine the value of sigma on base oil production at PT ABC, as well as providing suggestions for improvements to improve the production process at PT ABC. This research was conducted using the six sigma method using the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control). Based on the results of data processing obtained 6 criteria critical to quality (CTQ) in the production of base oil at PT ABC where the criteria for mixing the bleaching earth agent is not evenly distributed gets the highest score.
