Quality Improvement of Plastic Timer-A Six Sigma Approach
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Quality has become one of the most important consumer decision factors in the selection among competing products and services. Quality means fitness for use and is inversely proportional to variability. Quality improvement is the reduction of variability in processes and products. Quality control and improvement involve the set of activities used to ensure that the products and services meet requirements and are improved on a continuous basis. Six Sigma provides an effective mechanism to focus on customer requirements, through improvement of process quality and seeks to improve the quality of the output of a process by identifying and removing the causes of defects and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes. The project describes the application of the Six Sigma methodologies by taking the example of a plastic timer as the product, and demonstrates the benefits attained. The objective of this paper is to understand how to reduce and control variation of a process and improve the quality and process capability of the timers by applying six sigma methodologies and determine the key factors for improvement opportunities. This paper also integrates the lessons learnt and suggests measures in order to increase the overall sigma capability of the timers.
