Implementation of Six Sigma Using DMAIC Methodology in Small Scale Industries for Performance Improvement
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The fast changing economic conditions such as global completion, declining profit margin, customer demand for high quality product, product variety and reduced lead time etc had a major impact on manufacturing industries. To respond to these needs a new paradigm in this area of manufacturing strategies is six sigma. The six sigma has been increasingly adopted world wide in the manufacturing sector in order to enhance productivity and quality performance and to make the process robust to quality variations. This paper deals with an application of six sigma using DMAIC methodology in a gas industry which provides a frame work to identify, quantify and eliminate sources of variation in an operational process in question, to optimize the operation variables, improve and sustain performance viz process yield with well executed control plans. Six sigma improves the process performance of the critical operational process, leading to better utilization of resources, decreases variations and maintains consistent quality of the process output.
