Process capability analysis (PCA) is the ability of a process that measures the degree of providing customer expectations. Generally, the expectations of customer have been defined by using specification limits. A process capability index (PCI) summarizes ability of process to conform specification limits. Generally, this comparison is made by analyzing ratio of specification limits and six-sig...

In market globalization environment, the enterprises need respond to customer requirement and increasing customer satisfaction. The enterprises need to be fine appropriate approach that can help to achieve their goal. This encouraged many enterprises to adopt either Six Sigma for improving process throughout process interaction and problem solving or Lean for wastes reduction in processes. Howe...

Six Sigma is a strategy for achieving process improvement and operational excellence within an organization. Decisions on critical parameter selection in analysis phase are always very crucial; it plays a primary role in successful execution of Six Sigma project and for productivity improvement in manufacturing environment and involves the imprecise, vague and uncertain information. Using a cas...

In this paper, our objective is to come up with a sound methodology to design supply chains with outstanding delivery performance. As the first step towards this objective, we consider supply chains with a linear workflow, which we call pipelined supply chains. We define a new index of delivery performance called delivery sharpness which measures the precision as well as the accuracy with which...

This paper presents a management process for creating adaptive, real-time security policies within the Six Sigma 6σ framework. A key challenge for the creation of a management process is the integration with models of known Industrial processes. One of the most used industrial process models is Six Sigma which is a business management model wherein customer centric needs are put in perspective ...

ABSTRACT: The objective of this paper is to investigate a class of general tire models that provides results suitable for usage in vehicle dynamics. Tire models currently used for vehicle dynamic analyses are overly simplistic (springs, a spring and damper combination or semi-elastic substance) or based on curve fits of experimental data. In contrast, the tire models used by major tire companie...

Rapid prototyping (RP) methods are used for production easily and quickly of a scale model of a physical part or assembly. Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is a widespread process used for rapid prototyping of metallic parts. In this process, in order to obtain a desired welding geometry, it is very important to predict the weld bead geometry based on the input process parameters, which are voltage...

Indian industries need overall operational excellence for sustainable profitability and growth in the present age of global competitiveness. Among different quality and productivity improvement techniques, Six Sigma has emerged as one of the most effective breakthrough improvement strategies. Though Indian industries are exploring this improvement methodology to their advantage and reaping the ...

-Six Sigma is a systematic methodology for continuous process quality improvement and for achieving operational excellence. Six Sigma methodology is designed to provide for the application of statistical tools in the context of a process improvement structure summarized by the acronym DMAIC– Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. The DMAIC model provides a framework to identify and eli...
