Purpose The purpose of this study is to discover the learning mechanisms and temporal dynamics implementing systems (Six Sigma) as it unfolds over time. Design/methodology/approach data come from a European engineering company that was Six Sigma-based quality management system (QMS) seven-year period. analysis based on an event-sequence reconstruction implementation process unfolded time discov...

The improvement process of six-sigma DMAIC refers to the that industry performs enhance quality via following five procedures: (1) define, (2) measure, (3) analyze, (4) improve, and (5) control. It is a common tool used in ameliorate quality. In addition, capability index most frequently uses measure Though many studies have discussed methods, none specific theoretical models could be provided ...

Six Sigma provides an effective mechanism to focus on customer requirements, through improvement of process quality. In the Global Engineering Development Center of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS – GEDC) at Chennai, India, Six Sigma projects are being carried out with the objective of improving on time delivery, product quality and in-process quality. This paper describes the application of the...

This paper presents an integrated ANP and DEMATEL technique applied to identify and prioritize Six Sigma projects for healthcare companies. identify the most representative Six Sigma projects and their priority. First, the Six Sigma evaluation structure is determined; then DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) is applied to calculate interrelations among healthcare criteria....

tire manufacturing industry has a history of more than half a century in iran, where 14 thousand workers are employed. the old and semi-automated processes equipment, backward technology, and raw materials impurity lead to significant exposures to occupational carcinogens such as benzene. this study was to assessment of benzene exposures and evaluation the resulting cancer risk in two tire-manu...

there has been considerable number of papers published related to six sigma applications in manufacturing and service organizations. however, very few studies are done on reviewing the literature of six sigma in all the areas including manufacturing, construction, education, financial service, bpos and healthcare etc. considering the contribution of six sigma in recent time, a more comprehensiv...
