“…The automotive and heavy industries are having sufficient funds and strategies for managing their existing resources, results in improving the overall productivity of the plant at the lowest manufacturing cost of the product. However, MSMEs are still struggling areas in terms of CU, implement quality tools, improving productivity without increasing input, etc (Singh et al , 2019; Kumar et al , 2019). The literature presents that the CU concept has been successfully implemented in automotive (40%) and heavy industries (48%) rather than MSMEs (12%) as evident from Figure 5.…”

Purpose This paper aims to uncover the significance of capacity, capacity utilization (CU) and its role in the quality and productivity improvement in an industrial environment. Besides, the current study is also aiming to explore the various ways to estimate CU and its status across the world. Design/methodology/approach In the present study, a comprehensive literature review on capacity and CU is carried out to expose the research direction in the field of CU. This work is primarily focused on capacity, CU and their estimation methods based on the research in various industries of different countries and current status in present scenario across the world. Findings The literature reveals that CU estimation is carried out by some government/central agencies at the national or sector level rather than the industry level in most of the productive nations. As far as industrial growth is concerned, capacity management should be carried out at a particular industry level so that engineering managers can be able to find out loopholes for huge capacity waste within the plant. It is observed that CU in the industrial sectors mainly computed by time series method, survey method, economic approach and engineering approach worldwide. Research limitations/implications This paper tries to cover almost all research work in the field of CU in various industrial sectors. However, the organizations which are producing the product with limited demand may get benefit inadequately. Practical implications This paper provides a vision to management toward productivity improvement through optimal utilization of available resources. As in most organizations, CU issues are much neglected areas. Originality/value This paper provides valuable insights on capacity and CU in the industrial sector across the world. Besides, it focused on comprehensive literature of capacity and various methods to estimate CU in industrial sectors.

“…The study was conducted to identify the solutions to the defects discovered in the component that affect its performance (Mielczarek and Knop, 2018). In industries, the six sigma process is used to reduce waste and increase efficiency (Kumar et al, 2011(Kumar et al, , 2019. This paper focuses on the detailed application of the design, measure, analyze, improve and control (DMAIC) phases in a business on a Kolbus BF 511 machine.…”

“…In recent years, there has been a push for manufacturing industries in India to adopt Six Sigma and Lean production methodologies to compete with manufacturing centers worldwide (Valles et al , 2009; Srinivasan et al , 2014; Kumar et al , 2019). This has resulted in increased productivity and quality of engineered goods (Mielczarek and Knop, 2018).…”

“…This paper examines the effect of clamping pressure on cutting conditions and the effects of coolant pressure and rotation speed on drill deflection during deep hole drilling (Kumar and Kumar, 2014). It presents a case study similar to this one in which the DMAIC approach was used to reduce waste in an automotive part manufacturing facility (Kuerová and Fidlerová, 2014; Zhang et al , 2015; Senthil Kumaran et al , 2013; Gutierrez-Gutierrez et al , 2016; Rateesh Nair and Sonawane, 2016; Smtkowska and Mrugalska, 2018; Kumar et al , 2019).…”

PurposeThis research work focuses on implementing this methodology in reducing the rejection rate of the turbocharger component problem that occurs during the manufacturing process. Using design, measure, analyze, improve and control (DMAIC) processes, it has been identified that clamping pressure on the component is one factor that affects quality. The impact of clamping pressure is studied to arrive at the ideal clamping pressure in which the rejection rate is the least.Design/methodology/approachQuality is the keyword in manufacturing where the production of a defect-free component is the most sought out objective. The definition of quality keeps getting refined throughout the years, from making products with no defects to minimizing rejection and scrap in the manufacturing process. Production facilities, to achieve this purpose, have adopted various methods and use of the DMAIC of Six Sigma methodology is one among them.FindingsThe study identified the fault causing the defect and suggested the methods to correct the fault. The suggestions would result in reducing the losses arising due to this and similar rejection causes.Originality/valueWith the adoption of DMAIC, it is found that misalignment of top and side clamp pressure is zero. When the side clamp pressure is at 75 PSI, and top clamp pressure is changed from 90 PSI to 95 PSI, the mean of responses is greater than the side clamp pressure of 80 PSI. Therefore, from the three-combination top clamp pressure of 100 PSI and the side clamp pressure of 75 PSI is the optimal condition.

“…Applications of DFSS vary from manufacturing (Jou et al , 2010; Shahin, 2008) to service (El-Haik and Roy, 2005; Yang et al , 2018). Besides that, some Six Sigma studies focus on the relationship between Six Sigma and lean production (Näslund, 2008; Patel and Patel, 2021) and the implementation of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) (Algassem et al , 2014; Antony et al , 2012b; Bhat et al , 2014; Bonilla et al , 2008; Delgado et al , 2010; Isa and Usmen, 2015; Kumar et al , 2019; Sunder et al , 2018; Wang and Chen, 2012). LSS, a powerful framework in which lean production and Six Sigma complement each other for eliminating process waste and variation together, has been recognized as an effective management tool for improving organizational performance.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to present the implementation of Six Sigma in a solenoid valve manufacturing company in China. The project aims to reduce the solenoid valve defects, decrease the cost of poor quality, increase customer satisfaction and improve the long-term profitability of Company B. Design/methodology/approach This paper follows the Six Sigma methodology: DMAIC (define, measure, analyse, improve and control) principle of case study research. Hysteresis, the key characteristic of a solenoid valve, is the main chance for quality improvement. This paper emphasizes the solution to the hysteresis problem. During DMAIC phases, the critical factors that affect hysteresis performance are identified for continuous quality improvement of solenoid valve manufacturing. Findings The implementation of Six Sigma leads to a great quality improvement for the company studied in this paper. Control plans are made for good hysteresis performance. As a result, the first pass yield of solenoid valves has increased from 60% to 99.64%. The key hysteresis of the solenoid valve has shown a better performance. Originality/value This study presents a solenoid valve industrial quality improvement case that demonstrates how Six Sigma and DMAIC methodology can be applied to reduce defects and achieve quality improvement in Company B. This study can be referred to for managers and engineers to undertake quality improvement programs.
