Evaluation of Six Sigma Concepts in Construction Industry

چکیده
Six sigma is new to construction sector and this philosophy is to reduce the defects in the construction. The aim of this study is to evaluate Six Sigma as a process improvement method within construction sector. In order to improve the process in construction it is important to understand the factors affecting the construction process and analyze the factors for the construction improvement. In this paper we have tried to improve the Painting work, Tile work and Brick work of a building by using DMAIC methodology. From the point of view of achieving Six Sigma concept on site the recommended corrective action plans on the defect were done. Thus the questionnaire fulfils the criteria for control plans of the construction activities in the final stage. The answered questionnaires were collected from the Site Engineers, Contractors, Consultants and Project managers. Then by using SPSS software, the collected data’s were analyzed. The overall results of the study indicate that the implementation of Six Sigma in construction context will be achieved its aim by reducing the defects. In future, work on this concept is to be taken for the implementation to the real construction process. Keywords— Six sigma, DMAIC, SPSS. —————————— —————————
