Lean Six Sigma tools, Part III: Input metrics for a Glovebox Glove Integrity Program

State of the Art of Lean Six Sigma and Its Implementation in Chemical Manufacturing Industry Using a Bibliometric Perspective

“…[64] 2011 4 A substantial reduction in ergonomic injuries, particularly those related to glovebox operations, e.g., laceration, etc. [65] 2011 18 Improvement in operational safety by the potential reduction in glovebox glove events.…”

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].…”

Six Sigma implementation to minimise weight variation for Baby Lido Diaper manufacturing company

“…In the literature, researchers successfully implemented Six Sigma either alone or combined with other tools to improve performance and cut costs in the manufacturing and service sectors (Linderman et al, 2003). Recent research papers include improving operational safety (Cournoyer et al, 2010), increasing customer loyalty in the banking sector for Bank of America and Citigroup (Rucker, 2000;Roberts, 2004), reducing patients' waiting time and length of stay (Mandahawi et al, 2010b), reducing length of stay for ophthalmology day case surgery (Mandahawi et al, 2010a) and increasing productivity in paper manufacturing (Mandahawi et al, 2012). In manufacturing, related literature include enhancing the efficiency of the assembly lines of military products (Cheng, 2005), increasing line capacity in automobile manufacturing for V8 monoblock engines (Jin et al, 2009), minimising the maximum inter cell flow (Shirazi et al, 2010), minimising rejection and rework in a honing process in an automobile part manufacturing company (Gijo and Scaria, 2010), minimising bush diameter variation in bicycle chain manufacturing (Kaushik et al, 2012), and decreasing percentage of defected parts caused by dents in the forging process (Liu, 2011).…”
