ABSTRACT. The purpose of this study was to determine the final quality of the resulting plywood is approached through the analysis of the technical defects of plywood and plywood analytical laboratory testing, the results of the study are expected to contribute to further optimize maintain/ improve the quality of the resulting plywood. Of the five species studied plywood thickness (2.4 mm, 2.7 mm, 3.2 mm, 3.7 mm and 5.2 mm), it appears that there are differences in the relative types of defects that occur as well as the percentage. To 2.4 mm thick plywood defect percentage at 6.0%, a thickness of 2.7 mm by 5.4%, a thickness of 3.2 mm by 5.05%, a thickness of 3.7 mm and a thickness of 6.15% 5.2 mm by 5.15%. Broadly speaking technical defects seen quite a lot of plywood that over laps, press marks, stains glue / oil, broken face and core tip less. Laboratory testing of plywood covering the plywood moisture content, bonding strength and formaldehyde emission indicates that the process capability index qualifies as capable. For the calculation of the level of non-conformant only for the bonding strength of having the opportunity to not be able to meet the standards of firmness in the range of relatively small, while for the moisture content of plywood and formaldehyde emissions are negligible chances.

Dari kelima jenis ketebalan kayu lapis yang diteliti (2,4 mm, 2,7 mm, 3,2 mm, 3,7 mm dan 5,2 mm), terlihat bahwa relatif ada perbedaan jenis cacat yang terjadi serta prosentasenya. Untuk kayu lapis tebal 2,4 mm prosentase cacat sebesar 6,0%, ketebalan 2,7 mm sebesar 5,4%, ketebalan 3,2 mm sebesar 5,05%, ketebalan 3,7 mm sebesar 6,15% dan ketebalan 5,2 mm sebesar 5,15%. Secara garis besar terlihat cacat teknis kayu lapis yang tergolong banyak yaitu over laps, press mark, noda lem/minyak, face pecah dan core ujung kurang. Uji laboratoris kayu lapis yang meliputi kadar air kayu lapis, emisi formaldehida dan keteguhan rekat menunjukkan bahwa indeks kapabilitas proses masuk dalam kriteria mampu. Untuk hasil perhitungan tingkat non konforman hanya untuk keteguhan rekat yang mempunyai peluang untuk tidak dapat memenuhi standar keteguhan dalam kisaran relatif kecil, sedang untuk kadar air kayu lapis dan emisi formaldehida peluangnya dapat diabaikan.
