In managing healthcare logistics, cost is not the only factor to be considered. The level of items’ criticality used in patient care services plays an important role as well. A stock-out incident of a high critical item could threaten a patient's life. In this paper, the DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) methodology is used to drive improvement projects based on customer driven cri...

This article is analyzing three methodologies used for identification and resolving of large and complex quality problems: Six Sigma, Shainin and KepnerTregoe problem management. To compare these three methodologies the general quality improvement roadmap was defined consisting of 5 phases: Problem definition, Diagnosis, Generation and selection of solutions, Enhancement and New routines. The a...

If organizations wish to achieve continuous quality improvement they need to use appropriate selection of quality tools and techniques. In this paper a review of possibilities of the systematic use of seven basic quality tools (7QC tools) is presented. It is shown that 7QC tools can be used in all process phases, from the beginning of a product development up to management of a production proce...

KEMET Electronics Corp has implemented several process and material improvements in order to improve the surface mount (SMT) performance of low ESR conductive polymer tantalum capacitors. This includes large case size (up to 7343-43) capacitors with ESR as low as 5 mΩ. Six Sigma methodologies (DMAIC: define-measure-analyze-improve-control) were used to structure the improvement process. This pa...
