Abstract:

In this study due to the increasing amount of quality problems that arise in organizations, some of these problems in Tehran municipality are being tested. First, a large number of projects that need to be improved are defined by one of multiple decision-making method of MCDM named ANP priorities. Then, the most important projects have been selected. For doing this project, some problems arise that parts of their information are known and some are unknown. To identify and select the problems, gray systems are being used, and the main problem can be found by using "gray possible degree" that are the new decision-making techniques and evaluate mathematical data which are vague and uncertain. The identified problem is analysis by using the methodology of Six Sigma and DMAIC cycle. By using Pareto charts and Minitab software the main causes of the issues have been identified and resolved. Finally, by using creative and innovative techniques, the problem solving capability of TRIZ is improved.

Analysing Portfolios of Lean Six Sigma Projects

The widespread acceptance of Six Sigma as a systematic program of process control, planning, and improvement has led to the creation of many databases describing the performance of individual projects, timing, and the techniques used. These databases provide resources for the analysis of quality management practices. Specifically, there are three levels at which analysis can occur in this conte...

Sigma-TRIZ: Algorithm for Systematic Integration of Innovation within Six Sigma Process Improvement Methodologies

Continuous process improvement is a constant preoccupation of companies operating in strong competitive markets (Thawani, 2002; Cronemyr, 2007). The goal of process improvement projects is about increasing both efficiency and effectiveness of the business system (Brad, 2008). A widely used methodology for process improvement is Six Sigma DMAIC (Cascini et al., 2008; Hamza, 2008). Some researche...

Application of Analytic Network Process in Selection of Six-Sigma Projects

This research aims at presenting a fuzzy model to evaluate and select Six-Sigma projects.  For this purpose, a model of fuzzy analytic network process (ANP) was designed to consider the relation and mutual impact among the factors. In order to evaluate the projects, nine sub-criteria were considered which were classified into three categories of business, finance and procedural ones. Also to co...
