SIX SIGMA and its Role in Quality Management Sung H. Park Department of Statistics‚ Seoul National University Kwanak-ku‚ Seoul‚ 151-742‚ Korea parksh@plaza.snu.ac.kr Abstract Six Sigma was introduced into Korea in 1997‚ and it is regarded as a fascinating management strategy in many Korean companies. First of all‚ the reasons why Six Sigma is fascinating are given and a smart way to introduce Six Sigma is illustrated. Seven step procedures to introduce Six Sigma are explained. Next‚ the differences

So the Kyung evaluated “Process Capability” using “Process Capability Ratio (Cp).” The book “Operations Management” defines that the “Cp is the ratio of the range of the design specification (the tolerance range) to the range of process variation” and explains if Cp is

Identify the differences between x-bar‚ R-‚ p-‚ and c-charts. Explain the meaning of process capability and the process capability index. Explain the term Six Sigma. Explain the process of acceptance sampling and describe the use of operating characteristic (OC) curves. Describe the challenges inherent in measuring quality in service organizations.

Introduction: Six Sigma is a business management strategy designed to meet customer needs and process capability. Six Sigma seeks to improve the quality of process outputs by identifying and removing the causes of defects and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes. It uses a systematic project-oriented fashion through define‚ measure‚ analyze‚ improve‚ and control (DMAIC) cycle‚ including statistical tools‚ and creates a special infrastructure of people within the

CRITICAL PARAMETERS AFFECTING PROCESS VALIDATION Steevan Dominic Introduction Validation is an integral part of quality assurance; it involves systematic study of systems‚ facilities and processes aimed at determining whether they perform their intended functions adequately and consistently as specified. Validation in itself does not improve processes but confirms that the processes have been properly developed and are under control. Adequate validation is beneficial to the manufacturer

1. Makadok (2001) emphasizes the distinction between capabilities and resources by defining capabilities as “a special type of resource‚ specifically an organizationally embedded non-transferable firm-specific resource whose purpose is to improve the productivity of the other resources possessed by the firm” [4](p389). “[R]esources are stocks of available factors that are owned or controlled by the organization‚ and capabilities are an organization’s capacity to deploy resources”:[3] p. 35.
