The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the use of Six Sigma Methodologies in order to reduce the level of defects at company XYZ. Moreover, the purpose of the study was to review the current film coating operation at XYZ in order to determine the sources of the high number of defects in the final product. Six Sigma DMAIC methodologies were used to find the root cause of the high number o...

In this chapter, the authors establish the existence of a synergistic relationship between two complementary methodologies, Business Process Management (BPM) and Six Sigma, through literature review and suggest methods to exploit the same. Six Sigma provides incremental improvement through its analytical abilities and is complemented by BPM which provides the data from the ongoing processes on ...

--------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------------Six Sigma is based in large measure on creating a closed-loop business system to reduce company’s inconsistency or “variations” of business system and keep it staying on the path to performance and success. Defects, which are the bad variation that have a negative impact on ...

Cultural barrier is always perceived as the prime challenge for modernizing idle construction markets. Unsurprisingly, most changes in construction hinge on understanding the benefits of sustainable transformation. Persistent attempts in stagnant construction cultures have materialized in some noted changes. Successful sustainable transformation in such economies appears to be chiefly impeded a...

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 ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to develop a business model to generate quantitative evidence of the benefits of implementing radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, limiting the scope to outpatient surgical processes in hospitals. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH The study primarily uses the define-measure-analyze-improve-control (DMAIC) approach, and draws on various analytical to...

Manufacturing performances tend to produce defects due to various reasons which can be improved by identifying and eliminating them using six sigma. In the present work, DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) has been used to reduce the number of vehicle engine rejection. In define phase problem was defined by selecting the core issues concerned. In the measure phase data was col...
