The paper introduces the emergence and development of Lean Production and Six Sigma management, compares and analyzes on Lean Production and Six Sigma management, it also analyzes the necessary and feasibility in integration of Lean Production and Six Sigma management, and points out the ways for integration of Lean Production and Six Sigma management: integration of organizational management, ...

six sigma methodology is one of the most famous effective problem solving approaches that helps organizations to achieve their goals. despite the variety of its positive advantage, most companies have failed to implement six sigma successfully. the reason for this includes lack of the organizations attention to success or failure factors when implement six sigma projects. hence, while performin...

six-sigma has some measures which measure performance characteristics related to a process. in most of the traditional methods, exact estimation is used to assess these measures and to utilize them in practice. in this paper, to estimate some of these measures, including defects per million opportunities (dpmo), defects per opportunity (dpo), defects per unit (dpu) and yield, a new algorithm ba...

Six Sigma has been considered a powerful business strategy that employs a wellstructured continuous improvement methodology to reduce process variability and drive out waste within the business processes using effective application of statistical tools and techniques. Although there is a wider acceptance of Six Sigma in many organizations today, there appears to be virtually no in-depth case st...

This paper will explore the fundamental relationships between Six Sigma and simulation. A basic overview of Six Sigma includes: 1. Six Sigma philosophy, 2. Basic tools, 3. Theory of Variation, 4. SPC, 5. Process capability, 6. Six Sigma infrastructure, and 7. DMAIC and DFSS processes. Simulation will be applied to the appropriate areas of the overview. Improvement in the robustness of the Six S...

Six Sigma has been very successfully applied in manufacturing. Is it also applicable to software, and ICT? Six Sigma is about cost reduction by eliminating defects. Six Sigma uses the following three principles: 1. Focus on customers 2. Process orientation 3. Leadership based on metrics Applying Six Sigma to software development makes software projects transparent to both management and custome...

This paper will apply product capability analysis chart PCAC in Measure step of Six Sigma. Because the test model is sampling, sampling error must be consider. Thus minimum value will be used to evaluate process capability. Besides the paper used minimum value to evaluate process capability, we also applied the concept of Six Sigma in PCAC and construct PCAC of Six Sigma standard. Finally, PCAC...

abstract background: today, the rate of surgeries is increasing, but surgeries are canceled due to various reasons. unexpected cancellation of surgeries not only results in disorder in the operating room schedule, but also causes stress for patients and their family and increases costs. we determined the number and causes of surgery cancellations and areas for improvement. materials and methods...
