A New Fuzzy Method for Assessing Six Sigma Measures
Six-Sigma has some measures which measure performance characteristics related to a process. In most of the traditional methods, exact estimation is used to assess these measures and to utilize them in practice. In this paper, to estimate some of these measures, including Defects per Million Opportunities (DPMO), Defects per Opportunity (DPO), Defects per unit (DPU) and Yield, a new algorithm ba...
متن کاملLean six sigma process improvement in specimen receiving to improve stat chemistry turnaround times
Objective: As a consequence of stat turnaround times (TATs) chronically exceeding 60 minutes, our laboratory was facing pressure to divert limited resources toward the implementation of an emergency department satellite laboratory. Peer-reviewed literature in clinical laboratory quality assurance and improvement indicates that between 60-70% of errors occur at the pre-analytical level. Thus...
متن کاملQuantitative Assessment of Analytical Phase Quality of Clinical Biochemistry Parameters Using Sigma Metrics
Background and Aims: Six sigma is the latest version of total quality management. It is quantitative goal for process performance. With increasing demands for improved accuracy and reliability of the results, Six Sigma is gaining increased visibility in the clinical laboratory process outcomes. The aim of study was to evaluate the quality of analytical phase performance in a clinical biochemist...
متن کاملSix Sigma implementation to minimise weight variation for Baby Lido Diaper manufacturing company
The increasing demand in baby diaper products in addition to customer requirements has compelled companies to improve the quality of their production processes. This paper presents a customised Six Sigma procedure to reduce weight variation in diaper products. To this end, a define, measure, analyse, improve and control (DMAIC) model is developed and applied at a production line at a local comp...
متن کاملEvaluation of biochemical methods performance in clinical laboratories: is this performance suitable for clinical application?
Background: Clinical application of the test results are profoundly influenced by laboratory errors. Nowadays, the best way to evaluate the performance of a method is to determine its sigma scale according to total allowable error (TEa) and analytical errors, including random and systematic errors. In this study, the performance of the measuring kits for biochemical analytes belonging to Pars A...
