ANALISIS PROOF PRINT ON THE SPOT (PPOS) DALAM PRODUKSI LABEL PADA CETAK FLEXOGRAPHY DI PT MULTI COLOR JAKARTA

ABSTRACT
The absence of standardization of time duration in the implementation of Proof Print on
the Spot (PPOS). The author conducted observations in the production of labels on
flexographic printing at PT Multi Color Jakarta. PPOS is an important stage to ensure the
printout is in accordance with the approved artwork. In practice, the implementation of
PPOS in the field often faces various obstacles, such as delays in the approval process,
repeated revisions due to color mismatches, and errors in design files that result in
downtime. Data collection was conducted through direct observation in the field and
recording using check sheets. The data collected was analyzed using the Seven Tools
approach, such as Pareto Diagrams, Histograms, Cause and Effect Diagrams, Scatter and
Flowcharts. The results of the analysis show that the activities of register, set up, and
internal review are the stages that take up the most time. The main factors causing process
delays are slow approval and print color mismatches. Based on the observation, it can be
concluded that the implementation of PPOS still needs to be improved, especially in terms
of time duration. Some suggestions that can be given include the use of a digital-based
approval system, regular operator training, and increased coordination between divisions
to expedite the production process. This report is expected to provide a real picture of the
challenges and solutions in the PPOS process in the label printing industry.

ABSTRAK
Ketidakterstandarisasian durasi waktu dalam pelaksanaan Proof Print on The Spot (PPOS).
Penulis melakukan observasi dalam produksi label pada cetak fleksografi di PT Multi Color
Jakarta. PPOS merupakan tahapan penting untuk memastikan hasil cetakan sesuai dengan
artwork yang telah disetujui. Dalam praktiknya, pelaksanaan PPOS di lapangan sering
menghadapi berbagai kendala, seperti keterlambatan proses approval, revisi berulang
karena ketidaksesuaian warna, serta kesalahan pada file desain yang mengakibatkan
terjadinya downtime. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi langsung di lapangan
dan pencatatan menggunakan check sheet. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis dengan
menggunakan pendekatan Seven Tools, seperti Diagram Pareto, Histogram, Diagram
Sebab-Akibat, Scatter dan Flowchart. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas register,
set up, dan review internal merupakan tahapan yang paling banyak menyita waktu. Faktor
utama yang menyebabkan keterlambatan proses adalah approval yang lambat dan
ketidaksesuaian warna cetak. Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa
pelaksanaan PPOS masih perlu ditingkatkan, khususnya dari durasi waktu. Beberapa saran
yang dapat diberikan antara lain penggunaan sistem approval berbasis digital, pelatihan
operator secara berkala, serta peningkatan koordinasi antar divisi guna memperlancar
proses produksi. Laporan ini diharapkan dapat memberikan gambaran nyata mengenai
tantangan dan solusi dalam proses PPOS di industri cetak label.
