OBJECTIVE We implemented a Six Sigma-based quality management program for the PACS to improve the quality of and lessen the necessary resources for its management. CONCLUSION With the Six Sigma-based PACS quality management program, we were able to reduce resource requirements while maintaining quality.

This paper will explore the fundamental relationships between Six Sigma and simulation. A basic overview of Six Sigma includes: 1. Six Sigma philosophy, 2. Basic tools, 3. Theory of Variation, 4. SPC, 5. Process capability, 6. Six Sigma infrastructure, and 7. DMAIC and DFSS processes. Simulation will be applied to the appropriate areas of the overview. Improvement in the robustness of the Six S...

Background and Aims: Six sigma is the latest version of total quality management. It is quantitative goal for process performance. With increasing demands for improved accuracy and reliability of the results, Six Sigma is gaining increased visibility in the clinical laboratory process outcomes. The aim of study was to evaluate the quality of analytical phase performance in a clinical biochemist...

Six Sigma is a customer focused continuous improvement strategy and discipline that minimizes defects. It is a philosophy to promote excellence in all business processes with aggressive target goals. Six Sigma is a five phase methodology for continuous improvement which uses a metric based on standard deviation. It is also a statistic which describes the amount of variation in a process. Six Si...

Purpose – This paper addresses the most common pain points in agile software development. Methodology/Approach – Many experts agree that agile software development methodologies make good use of best practices – but how can they be measured quantitatively? Agile literature provides surprises for software measurement professionals: for instance, time-consuming size measurement approaches are pro...
