Application of Six Sigma methodology for process design

Multivariate modelling of variability in sheet metal forming

“…In recent years, many organisations have implemented quality improvement tools and techniques such as Six-Sigma to help achieve this result (Klatte et al, 1997;Manual, 2006;Sokovic et al, 2005;Markarian, 2004). bending moment per unit width of sheet n work hardening index s standard deviation S relative sensitivity factor R P punch corner radius t current sheet thickness t 0 initial sheet thickness T sheet tension, force per unit width acting at the mid-surfacē x mean y distance from mid-surface within sheet…”

A frontier in organizational and business process innovation in service management through lean six sigma Kaizen project implementation

“…Identifying the problem focus using pareto diagram The Pareto diagram is a powerful graphical tool or a special bar chart Johnson, Miller & Freund (2000), Frakes & Fox (1996) that presents clear information Sokovic, Pavletic & Fakin (2005) and helps to determine the element of major contributor in a process (Eiden et al, 2007). Sokovic et al (2005), posited that Pareto diagram can provide domains of the process for possible improvement.…”

“…Sokovic et al (2005), posited that Pareto diagram can provide domains of the process for possible improvement. Pareto diagram can be constructed by ranking or sorting the frequencies or relative frequencies Wilkinson (2006) of the attributes or data sets from the highest to lowest frequency value or occurrence (Frakes & Fox, 1996) further.…”

An Application of DMAIC Methodology for Increasing the Yarn Quality in Textile Industry

“…Linderman et al (2003) pointed out that Six Sigma could be implemented to the processes of producing manufacturing goods, business trade, executive management, and services. Recent research papers include improving operational safety [5], reducing amount of waste [8], improving quality for surveillance cameras to diminish related excess costs [10], enhancing the assembly efficiency of military products [4], increasing customer loyalty in the banking sector for Bank of America and Citigroup [21,22], reducing patients' waiting time and length of stay [3,17,29], reducing length of stay for Ophthalmology Day Case Surgery [16], reducing lead-time [1], enhancing staff satisfaction [7], reducing clinical errors [20], process improvement for both the radiology department and medication administration process [15], and process design of compressor-housing machining process [25]. Others include [2,6,11,12,18,19,24,26,28,29].…”
