Application of Statistical Methods at Copper Wire Manufacturing

The application of statistical methods is universal. In direct or indirect form, they are part of everyday practice. The Statistical Methodology (SM) as tools of the quality management is currently not doubted. The introduction of standards known as ISO 9001: 2000, VDA 6.1, QS 9001, ISO TS 16949 or the implementation of the TQM Model in practice (responding to the Lean Management system, or the Six Sigma) brings improvements into other areas of company functions thereby contributing to higher competitiveness in the area of quality. The submitted problem, considered as a scientific branch, can be classified into a cross-sectional area of quality management, because, the field of quality management (modem approaches such as TQM and the Six Sigma) is focused on the improvement of processes. Depending about areas, the process is going through (either it is about the processes in retail, banking, health, mechanical engineering or metallurgy), i.e. the applied methodology is indifferent l . Intentions is to continuously improves manufacturing processes, as well as nonmanufacturing processes, to generate the pressure on all levels of management, to introduce the new, modem systems of improvements, which cannot be imagined without using the exact methods, mostly based on mathematicai statistics. One of such a sophisticated system of quality improvement is the Six Sigma Methodology. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SIX SIGMA SYSTEM
