Performance Enhancement of Manufacturing Unit Using Six Sigma DMAIC Approach: A Case Study

摘要

Six Sigma is the management approach of achieving major enhancement in the process by implementing DMAIC cycle through elimination of waste. Manufacturing units are implementing such strategies to increase productivity of their manufacturing system processes. The purpose of this paper is to reduce quality rejection by implementing DMAIC approach in a systematic manner on the shop floor of the manufacturing unit of northern India. Results indicated the decrease in quality rejection level from 11,179.87 to 28.69 ppm, which results in net savings of 17. 66 lakhs per year.
