Abstract

This chapter explores the application of Six Sigma in manufacturing industries, with a focus on the DMAIC methodology. It discusses the origins of Six Sigma at Motorola, its statistical foundation, and its widespread adoption for quality improvement. The chapter reviews various tools and techniques used in each phase of DMAIC, such as process maps, fishbone diagrams, and control charts. It also examines the success factors, constraints, and limitations of Six Sigma implementation. The chapter concludes that Six Sigma is a flexible and effective strategy for improving product quality in manufacturing, with a typical implementation duration of over six months. By reviewing numerous case studies, the chapter provides valuable insights into the practical application of Six Sigma in different manufacturing contexts.
