Der Beitrag befasst sich mit der Umsetzung des aus dem industriellen Kontext stammenden Prozessverbesserungsansatzes Six Sigma in der Softwareentwicklung. Um den Rahmenbedingungen der Softwareentwicklung gerecht zu werden, muss Six Sigma größtenteils durch Analogien und bereits vorhandene Ansätze in der Softwareentwicklung adaptiert werden. Hierauf wird einzeln für jede Phase des Six Sigma-Vorg...

Large scale Indian manufacturers started implementing Six Sigma to their supply core to fulfill the endless need of high quality products. As well, they initiated encouraging their suppliers to apply the well-ascertain SS management practice and kept no resource for supplier enterprises, generally small midsized enterprises to think for the admittance of Six Sigma as a quality promotion drive. ...

BACKGROUND The project selection process is a crucial step for healthcare organizations at the moment of implementing six sigma programs in both administrative and caring processes. However, six-sigma project selection is often defined as a decision making process with interaction and feedback between criteria; so that it is necessary to explore different methods to help healthcare companies to...

The purpose of this paper is to explore the methodology that has adopted to implement PBL in textile engineering education at “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu (LBUS) which also highlights its potential influence on Six Sigma projects that has implemented in a textile manufacturing industry. The function of both PBL and Six Sigma approaches is to solve the problems by executing projects in a s...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a study of how Six Sigma influences job satisfaction among employees at three large companies with manufacturing units in Sweden that have used different implementation strategies. Design/methodology/approach – The study was performed using a survey distributed to those affected by the implementation at the three company sites, including those n...

Overall operational excellence is the key requirement of any business to have global competence and sustained growth. Indian industries are not the exception to this. Six Sigma has emerged as one of the most effective business improvement strategies worldwide. Nothing much has been published so far illustrating an overall experience of Indian industries with Six Sigma. This paper presents an an...

Probabilistic design to address uncertainty and variability has been approached from many different angles, by different communities. While reliability methods focus on probability of constraint satisfaction or violation, robust design methods have focused primarily on the level of performance variation, the sensitivity of design objectives. “Six Sigma” quality concepts have arisen more recentl...

This research study proposes an innovative analysis for controlling the defects in aluminium die casting industry. In this analysis, casting process of a two-stroke engine oil pump body is concentrated. The component selected has often rejected due to blow hole defects. Six Sigma, the zero defect approach, is used in this study. Define measure, analyse, improve and control (DMAIC) problem solvi...

Since 1999, DuPont has been applying the Six Sigma problem-solving methodology to a broad array of business, technical, transactional, and process problems across the corporation. One benefit of this culture change has been the way that business units approach energy efficiency. The structured Six Sigma approach, with its strong focus on statistics and data and a proven method for controlling i...

Six Sigma is a strategy for achieving process improvement and operational excellence within an organization. Decisions on critical parameter selection in analysis phase are always very crucial; it plays a primary role in successful execution of Six Sigma project and for productivity improvement in manufacturing environment and involves the imprecise, vague and uncertain information. Using a cas...
