Abstract

Six Sigma provides a systematic approach for scholars and practitioners alike. It reduces variation in processes, enabling documented process improvement in all corporate departments and problematic situations. By using proven quality tools, technical in-house specialists are able to contribute to organizational efficiency. In the automotive industry the Six Sigma methodology is particularly useful and the present paper documents such a successful implementation through a case study in the pre-assembly area of a well-known multinational automotive company situated in the Western part of Romania.
