Six Sigma implementation to minimise weight variation for Baby Lido Diaper manufacturing company
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 company to identify and control root causes. Thorough analysis of collected data revealed that excess fluff, sap and pulp are the main causes for variations. As a result, several changes have been adopted at the improvement phase; these improvements decreased defects per million opportunities (DPMO) form 292,157 to 88,152 and increased the sigma level from 2.05 to 2.85.
