**2. Problem statements**

Nowadays food industry makes a significant contribution to national economy in many developing countries. Here in Ethiopia the economy depend on agricultural and which accounts 43.2% of gross domestic product (GDP) [7]. Also there is less contribution in an improvement of biscuit industry analyzed and waste minimization. There is different waste that are identified in six sigma (DMAIC) on NAS food Plc. Currently the company only uses 30% of its capacity and produce 3000 carton per day via 349 workers but it can produce 10,000 cartons with 1000 workers. As a result the value of waste ratio is 36.7%, this show non lean and can be categorized as a traditional company [8]. The defect of the company also calculated and defect per million are 67,308. This shows that the biscuit production of has a production capability with a failure of 67,308 every 1000,000 productions or equivalent to 6.73% loss and this indicates the production process still has a high failure rate. The other problem here is there are limited studies were conducted so far to implement waste minimization tools like six sigma, lean and MBNQA approach on Ethiopian food processing industries [9].
