Penelitian bertujuan untuk melakukan analisis terhadap beberapa variabel yang dipilih, yaitu: motif, content, mekanisme pendukung serta alat-alat atau metode yang digunakan dalam penerapan program Continuous improvement (CI) di perusahaan manufaktur di Jawa Timur. Dalam analisis ini, perusahaan manufaktur dikelompokan menjadi 2 kelompok, yaitu PMA dan PMDN di Jawa Timur untuk menganalisis apakah ada perbedaan antara PMA dan PMDN dalam penerapan variabel-varibel CI. Penelitian bersifat explanatory yang berusaha menjelaskan fenomena yang diteliti dan pengujian hipotesis digunakan statistik inferensial untuk menganalisa data antara 2 kelompok independen yaitu Independent Sample t-Test. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar motif utama perusahaan dalam menerapakan CI hampir sama. Namun demikian, ada perbedaan yang signifikan pada 2 kelompok perusahaan tersebut, yakni dalam hal isi dari program CI, mekanisme pendukung dan metode pemecahan masalah yang digunakan.

The objective of this study is to conduct comparative analysis against the selected CI variables which are the main motive, the most frequent content, the supporting mechanism and the problem solving tools used in CI implementation within manufacturing firms in East Java. The manufacturing firms are divided into two groups which are Foreign Investment Company (PMA) and Domestic Investment Company (PMDN) in East Java. This explanatory research tries to explain the phenomenon of the examined variables and inferential statistic used to test the hypotheses between these two independent groups of manufacturing firms is Independent Sample t-Test. The result of the study suggests that many motives for CI implementation are quite similar between 2 groups. However, significant differences found between the two group manufacturing firms when comparing general content of the CI process, CI support mechanism and the use of problem solving tools.
