Hi There,

can you be more specific, i mean which domain you want this COE support

Dear Andy,
the production rate is different from customer demand….. since customer demand is calculated through Takt Time while actual production rate acheived is the cycle time.
Now, in ur case as the present system is not meeting the customer demand (Takt Time), it does’nt mean there will be no inventories. the Production rate in this case…[Read more]

I am intersted in Green Belt course in the initial stage however looking for master black belt… (Six Sigma)

more detail for attribute&attribute formula, accuracy measurement

Thanks for your reply. I am very interested in Design and i would love to lead a team, however, I want to learn first and earn my way into a leadership role. I have very little industry experience, hence why at this junction, trying very hard to learn new material and improve my engineering fundamentals through an advanced degree.I still believe…[Read more]

Darth,
 
  
     I have to still conduct the tensile tests but I believe that the results will be that there is no significant difference on variation of temperature (177 v/s 166 ) or Time ( 2 hrs v/s 1 hour & 15 min)
 
Considering this if I use these Null hypotheses say
 
ONE
Ho: average of tensile at 177 for 2 hours = average of tensi…[Read more]

Hey Elbrin / 0’cool
Please read this thread from the start. I really feel pity about your thought process & I really wonder about your advice & of course the maturity.
Go read the thread completely where I’ve clearly defined what we do at each of the PDCA phase. Each of this phase is a sub-process of it’s own. Why do you feel that one can’t…[Read more]

Hi Elbrin,
That is a valuable note. However I am looking for the Process ( & not the product ) improvement using the DMAIC.
What if I use DMAIC for each of the PDCA phase..? With this I can set, measure, analyse,improve & control all the four phases giving a better process stability.
My question is, if I do the DMAIC four times ( One each f…[Read more]

Hi Elbrin,
I think we are moving close to the target. Can you please describe this a bit. Can you give a rough mapping between the PDCA & DMAIC..?
Why do you feel that the PDCA can be applied only at the Analyse & Improve phase..?
 

Thnx, Sanjay !
Just to describe a bit, each stage i.e. P-D-C & A has different inputs & outputs. How can I use the DMAIC by keeping the P-D-C-A intact..? Or do I need to replace the P-D-C-A by DMAIC..?
If I reatin the P-D-C-A then do I need to apply the DMAIC at every phase..?
 

Hey Gopi!
I’m intrested to know abt your paper on the Business Aspects of ERP implementation & Six Sigma practices. I would appreciate if you could mail me your copy to:  [email protected]

Everyone —
Thanks for the help!
Just to clarify, my problem is not production process related, not in terms of usage of machinery.
Production for me means deliverables, like procesing of applications online etc. From that standpoint, i find AB’s suggestion great. I am not sure how much of OEE i can use.
Ptalaia another problem with studying…[Read more]

CT, can you please explain this tool better. I am not familiar with it. Thanks

AB,
Thanks for your reply. I guess i should have posted the question better.
Well, i have data recorded in an excel for my teams. What i am trying to get is what tools are best to study the data to be able to get meaning and solutions out of it.
Currently, i use Minitab Run charts to study TAT and pie charts to study errors. For production, i…[Read more]

Well,Why are you guys so much curious about this chap.Sachin Bhatia has done his B-Tech in Industrial Engg. from SBSCET Ferozepur.He worked for LG India Electronics for two years.Then he moved to American Express.Now a days he is somewhere in USA.He  surely is a black belt in six sigma.

Hi Giovanni,
I am working on a project where I am reducing the cycle time for work completion to Invoice creation. In this case process improvement leads to reduce the cycle time. Is that the same case with your project? if yes then 1. Inventory holding cost 2.Opportunity loss (in terms of business or order loss) 3. Manpower cost
you can wo…[Read more]

shiv
why don’t you try to research on the standard sigma shift and bring out ways to reduce it.
people have accepted it as it is but there must be ways to reduce (if not remove) that variation.

Statman, Is there any reason why you took the test proportion to be 3%? Just curious.
