“…If we compare the contribution of Six Sigma from various sources [1][2][3][4][5][6]9,[22][23][24][25], it is clear that deployment of this methodology in companies brings increased performance, increased productivity, increased competitiveness, and growth in market share, whilst retaining loyal customers and obtaining new, decreased production costs by decreasing the proportion of costs for repairs and disposal of non-conforming products, new product designs, and, growth in the qualifications and professional level of employees. The study by Aldowiasan, focusing on Six Sigma performance for non-normal processes, showed that less variation reduction was required to improve exponentially distributed processes [26].…”

Abstract:The current approach to business management focuses on increasing the performance of business processes. To achieve the required processes performance means to ensure the required quality and capability of processes. The partial aim of this paper is to confirm the positive effects of the Six Sigma methodology (SSM) on the corporate performance in the Slovak Republic and an investigation of the dependency of SSM implementation on the certified quality management system (QMS) as a set-forward condition via a questionnaire survey carried out in Slovak industrial enterprises. The survey results confirmed the above-mentioned assumptions. The SSM using DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) was applied in real conditions of two manufacturing enterprises with a different level of quality management system. The results of the research study proved a possibility to implement SSM and to use the same methods in enterprises aside from a level of QMS. However, more remarkable results were achieved by the enterprise which introduced QMS. The first application of SSM in enterprises within specific conditions of furniture production processes can be considered to be a contribution of the research study, as well. The result of the work is the model including the methodology and the appropriate combination of methods and tools for assuring the sustainable performance of the business processes.

This article focuses on developing a framework for industrial environments to provide a structured problem-solving approach based on experimentation as a basis to assist analysts and management for strategic decision making for process improvement. The process for developing this generic framework was through an analytical process improvement process case study for a company in an industrial environment. The research methodology includes an interpretivist approach followed by a positivist approach and ends with a constructivism worldview due to the Experimental design approach design depicted by this framework. The summarized goals were, expanding Design of Experiments (DOE) as a statistical approach to complement existing methods and methodologies used for Data Mining, validate the integrity of data through a refining process and applying DOE in combination with traditional Data Mining techniques. The importance for developing this framework was to experiment with historical data, based on real process data then to predict future process behaviour, using full and fractional DOE design scenarios which allows the analyst not to have a one-dimensional analytical approach but to evaluate which design fits the data best. No risk of costly process failures due to experimenting into the unknown by utilizing historic data by applying experimentation when evaluating different processing scenarios for possible product improvement and to provide an alternative statistical approach for Data Mining in an industrial environment for screening independent and dependent variables for a DOE model.
