Abstract
Defect reduction in a capacitor manufacturing process through Six Sigma concept: A case study
Highlights
The Six Sigma Methodology is one of the strategies which helps in the reduction of the existing number of defects of the order of 3.4 defects per million opportunities in the design of the product, production and the governance process (Schroeder et al, 2009).The Six Sigma is a systematic and organized problem-solving tool for strategic system, new product and service development that depends on the application of the scientific techniques for the improvement of the output variables
The aim of the research/survey was to provide the list of the root causes of capacitor rejection and suggest the most feasible solution to reduce
The monthly report of past six months of logistics department and warehouse department helped in figuring out the involvement of each root cause
Summary
The Six Sigma Methodology is one of the strategies which helps in the reduction of the existing number of defects of the order of 3.4 defects per million opportunities in the design of the product, production and the governance process (Schroeder et al, 2009).The Six Sigma is a systematic and organized problem-solving tool for strategic system, new product and service development that depends on the application of the scientific techniques for the improvement of the output variables. In the mid of 1980’s, the revolution was started and the Six-Sigma has been used for the regular betterment of the process. Six-Sigma follows a systematical approach like DMAIC– (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) methodology that targets the quantifiable problems by promoting continuous improvement, it is a statistical and scientific approach. This cyclic process uses technology and measurement to eliminate the unproductive steps as discussed by Kaushik and Khanduja (2009). According to More and Pawar (2015) six sigma is a business mindset to improve the quality of the products and the processes
