Book Description
Six Sigma at many organizations simply means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. It is a disciplined data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects in any process, from manufacturing to transaction and from product to service. This paper demonstrates the empirical application of Six Sigma and DMAIC to reduce product scrap within a piston manufacturing organization. The paper follows the DMAIC methodology to investigate defects and root causes, and provides a solution to reduce/eliminate these defects. The analysis employing Six Sigma and DMAIC indicates that the design of casting spoon and its material influence the amount of defective pistons produced. In particular, the why-why analysis and two sample t-Test are combined to statistically determine the correlation of the casting spoon design and its material with defects as well as to define their optimum values needed to reduce/eliminate the defects. As a result, a reduction of scrap percentage from 9.9% to 5% was achieved, which helped the studied organization to reduce its Defects Per Million Opportunities (DPMO) from 99,000 to 50,000 and thus improve its Sigma level from 2.86 to 3.2. Also, the process yield was improved from 90.1% to 95% and a saving of 52 lakh/year was obtained.

Global Practices in Knowledge Management for Societal and Organizational Development is an integral reference volume featuring leading academic research on the management and creation of knowledge and organizational development theories and models. Including coverage on a variety of related perspectives and subjects, such as infrastructure and services for knowledge organizations, ethics and the impact on knowledge management, and the future of knowledge workers, this book is an ideal reference source for organizational development specialists, consultants, policy makers, researchers, and graduate business students looking for advanced research on cultural aspects of knowledge management and creativity, innovation, and technology in learning communities.
Book Description
Six Sigma approach is generally employed to improve the sigma level of manufacturing or service processes by reducing their deviations and defects. Six Sigma provides the opportunity to eliminate mistakes, improve morale and save money. Doing things right in first time and keeping them consistent is the only idea behind Six Sigma. Its fundamental objective is to achieve customer satisfaction with continuous improvement in quality and productivity. Mostly we are emphasizing on various tools or techniques being used during DMAIC projects and almost ignore the procedure to execute different phases of the Six Sigma project. This book provides unique step by step methodologies to perform Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control phases of a Six Sigma project, respectively. An empirical investigation has been carried out in a make-to-order type (medium sized) foundry and Six Sigma is successfully implemented by decreasing the scrap of piston castings, appreciably. The book focuses on scrap reduction specifically in Indian foundries and tries to find out the reasons of low productivity index. It also tends to shatter the various phobias of SMEs in context of Six Sigma by validating the compatibility of proposed methodologies through a successful case study in Indian foundry environments.
