Abstract:
Purpose – Lean management and Six Sigma concepts are derived from two different points of view, but it is evident that the role of employees is crucial in both concepts. The purpose of this paper is to survey which employees’ behaviour dimensions can lead organization to better concepts integration and how Lean Six Sigma activity contributes to employees’ performance. Design/methodology/approach – Research methodology is designed to empirically check, on large sample of companies in multinational company supply chain, if employees’ factors are both predictor and response variables of Lean Six Sigma concept. To check stated hypothesis factor, reliability and multiple regression analysis are used. Findings – The first finding of this study is that reward system and training are significant predictors of Lean Six Sigma activities. The second part of findings shows that Lean Six Sigma dimensions, such as Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control/Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, and Validate, 5S and Kanban positively influences employees’ performance, described by employee satisfaction, absenteeism, salaries and benefits, employees’ commitment and employee turnover rate. Research limitations/implications – Poka-Yoke application is not found as a significant predictor of employees’ performance. Accordingly, to explore that interesting finding, possible future research topic is more detailed analysis of Poka-Yoke application in similar supply chains. A longitudinal analysis using structural equation is possible direction of future work, too. Practical implications – This survey answers the need for Lean and Six Sigma unified methodology achievement in soft factors area and gives applicable results for companies in supply chain that produces low-volume, high-complexity products. Originality/value – Original and valuable conclusion is that employees’ factors are both predictor and response variables of Lean Six Sigma concept application.

Abstract:
Being sustainable in today's business life has become the biggest goal of organizations. Ensuring customer satisfaction and stakeholder satisfaction in product and service delivery by providing competitive advantage has started to attract attention as an important priority not only for the private sector but also for public institutions. In this context, organizations can initiate the changes required by the age by applying post-modern management approaches and create proactive and reactive strategies by analyzing the environment. There are various methods used by organizations in this process. Six sigma concept is considered as a concept that advocates perfectionism and error-free in terms of providing customer satisfaction and increasing quality in many businesses, especially in production enterprises. On the other hand, lean production and management practices are also the art of embracing being free from elements that are not needed in the realization of activities. The Lean Six Sigma concept is a philosophy that focuses on business units and processes together. Lean Six Sigma advocates perfectionism and simplicity in all corporate processes by addressing the advantages of Six Sigma and Lean Management in a single managerial technique. In this research, it is aimed to examine Lean Six Sigma theoretically by considering Six Sigma and Lean Management techniques which are effective in the emergence of Lean Six Sigma concept. Referring to the studies on Six Sigma, Lean Management and Lean Six Sigma, it was concluded that the concept should be adopted and implemented in the private and public sector, not in a single process or unit, but in all institutions.

Abstract:
Lean Six Sigma Sample Analysis Process in a Microbiology Laboratory Faced with shrinking budgets, growing volumes, and personnel shortages, clinical laboratories are increasingly moving to automation to maximize output and efficiency. The best tool for improvement is the Lean Six Sigma concept. The concept reaps the full benefits of automation. A Lean process in a laboratory is focused on testing products and materials to deliver results in the most efficient way in terms of cost, speed, or both. The goal of a Lean laboratory is to use less effort, less resources and less time to test incoming samples. On the other hand, the Six Sigma concept provides process workflow and products/services without defects. The Lean Six Sigma approach analyzes laboratory workflow to help identify inefficiencies and uncover opportunities to free capacity, reduce turnaround time and lower costs. The assessment examines the end-to-end process looking closely at workflow as well as overall laboratory efficiency. The proven techniques of Lean and Six Sigma enhance productivity in the laboratory environment and ensure the best outcomes. This article analyzes a particular process, defines the approach, and gives a review of results obtained by deployment of the Lean Six Sigma concept. The article discusses a sample analysis process in a microbiology laboratory. A traditional process that applies standard analysis methods has a number of non-value-added activities, takes too much time, and has opportunities for defects. By mapping an existing process using a SIPOC model, 12 activities were identified. With the use of Lean tools four non-value-adding activities, which are not needed if a new system is used, were identified. Six activities had opportunities for improvement in terms of significant reduction in process time, and saving resources. Only two activities in the existing traditional process, with the use of standard analysis methods were optimally solved, and this did not require redesign or removal. The application of Lean Six Sigma concepts and automated analysis systems on a new process led to only nine activities in the process that now takes much less time and uses less resources. This article presents a description of the main principles, practices, and methods used in Lean and Six Sigma. The Lean tools particularly discussed here are 5s and spaghetti diagram. For Six Sigma, DMAIC methodology is used, and a review of applied quality tools for certain process improvement phases is given.

Abstract:
In recent decades, different concepts in quality management in textile industries have been introduced. Quality is a highly significant concept and also is the most basic challenge for textile industries. What we called controlling in the past, now has been replaced by “quality control”. Among these strategies, production and noble thought in order to recognize and remove not valuable resources on one hand, and six sigma in order to recognize and remove error elements in the process on the other hand, have developed the textile factories. Six sigma and noble methodology are two very strong strategies in for textile companies to reach success and have high quality products. Noble methodology causes a cut in the expenses through optimizing the process whereas six sigma is related to the customers’ expectations or needs. It also improves quality through measuring and controlling the deficits. This study is an attempt to improve textile products through two views: six sigma and noble methodology. Each of them this objective by its own .

Abstract:
It’s imperative to find appropriate way for company to achieve the goal to quickly respond to customer requirement and increase customer satisfaction. This encouraged them to adopt either Six Sigma for improving process through process interaction or Lean for reducing waste in processes. However, both Six Sigma and Lean have limitations. As a result, the enterprises tend to combine their strengths. This paper represents similarities and differences between Lean, Six Sigma and Kaizen. Furthermore, the integration between the techniques and tools of TQM, Six Sigma and Lean help to find a way integrating Six Sigma and Kaizen. The paper combines Six Sigma with Kaizen Blitz (DMAIC-KB) which is based on advantages of Six Sigma and Kaizen concept under PDCA cycle. This approach emphasizes on small project, customer requirement response and customer satisfaction in short time by detecting, analyzing and improving the problems and dysfunctions during process via process interaction.

Abstract:
The quality of healthcare is an emerging concern worldwide. The term “Quality” has been appropriately defined and fairly well understood. However, many problems in delivering quality healthcare persist and these require urgent attention and solutions. An industrial grade quality performance is still a distant dream in the healthcare sector. There are a variety of reasons for this, chiefly the complexity of medicine and disease itself. An error rate as high as 9.36% has been reported in clinical laboratories. These errors mainly occur in the pre-analytical stage of testing. Modern quality management tools like the six sigma concept offer realistic solutions to reach practical levels of perfection. The response of clinical diagnostic laboratories has been very slow in adopting these techniques to improve the quality of a process. It is imperative that healthcare in general and clinical diagnostic laboratories in particular promote and develop a culture of safety with the aid of modern quality management tools.

Abstract:
Understanding variation is critical to quality (CTQ) of product or service delivery, which is the key to success. Six Sigma is the business process improvement strategy that extensively focuses on variation reduction thereby reducing number of defects. One of the major constituents of Six Sigma definitions is 1.5 sigma shift, which is attributable to random error. It is not possible to understand Six Sigma thoroughly by overlooking the concept of 1.5 sigma shift. A conventional 3.4 defect per million opportunity (DPMO) capability of Six Sigma process is based on 1.5 sigma shift. This paper aimed at explaining ancestry of 1.5 sigma shift in connection with quality engineering methods. Origin of 1.5 sigma shift factor with reference to producibility analysis, worst-case sampling error and other quality engineering methods has been discussed in this paper.

The concept and methodology of Six Sigma was developed by the American companies within the local culture of America. Therefore it is grounded on the standards, ethics and behaviours represented by America. The present study proposes that implementing Six Sigma in other countries with different cultures, norms and behaviours may have adjustment problems, as the required culture, values and behaviours for Six Sigma do not match with the local cultures of countries. A conceptual model is proposed which would utilize the Hofstede’s cultural dimensions to determine the effect of national culture at each phase of Six Sigma process.

This paper critically examines the treatment of the statistical basis for Six Sigma and process capability in popular operations management textbooks. It discuss areas of confusion and suggest ways of treating the topic that make sense to instructors as well as students. Even though Six Sigma was introduced almost 30 years ago, misconceptions persist. In the textbooks we have found no consistency of approach or understanding of the statistical underpinnings (3.4 defects per million opportunities) of Six Sigma. Sometimes statements are made that are factually incorrect and cause frustration for students and instructors. Similar difficulties are encountered in discussions of the related concept of process capability. The paper suggests changes that will help resolve these issues and bring much-needed clarity to discussions of these important ideas. Students will find the material much more accessible and instructors will find it much easier to convey the concepts underlying this important topic.

ABSTRAKDinamika dan perkembangan ekonomi global dapat memberikan sinyal positif terhadap pentingnya peningkatan pemberdayaan dan daya saing produk di pasar. Dibutuhkan pemikiran untuk membangun keunggulan kompetitif, yang menjadi dasar bagi peningkatan produksi dan daya saing bisnis. Peningkatan produksi merupakan serangkaian aktifitas untuk membentuk produktifitas. Bila salah satu aktifitas produksi mengalami kegagalam maka akan berpengaruh pada kualitas dan kapasitas produksi. Kegagalan biasanya terindikasi dari waste/ pemborosan yang muncul di sepanjang value stream. Terdapat indikasi defect yang tinggi melebihi 10% di sortir dan packaging process. Permasalahan utama adalah adanya waste/ pemborosan yang mengakibatkan penurunan kualitas dan kapasitas produksi. Paper ini akan mengidentifikasi waste yang terjadi di proses produksi, mencari akar penyebab terjadinya waste, dan membangun alternatif solusi perbaikan. Diperlukan pemikiran kreatif untuk dapat menaikkan efisiensi sumber daya dan daya saing bisnis di pasar. Metoda yang dipakai untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan adalah Lean six-sigma. Konsep ini menelusuri permasalahan inefisiensi dengan cara mencari nonvalue added activity dari munculnya waste di sepanjang value stream. Kemunculan waste selanjutnya diidentifikasi lebih dalam dengan root cause analisys (RCA) dan failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA). Hasil akhir dari FMEA adalah risk priority number (RPN) yang menggambarkan prioritas atas mode resiko untuk dilakukan perbaikan. Dari hasil prioritas dirancang 3 alternatif perbaikan yaitu pelatihan operator, pembuatan SOP proses produksi, dan pelatihan karyawan quality control. Dengan pendekatan net present value (NPV), maka diperoleh nilai NPV yang positif, artinya alternatif tersebut adalah layak untuk dijalankan. Alternatif ini meningkatkan nilai sigma dari sigma awal sebesar 2,80 menjadi 3,30. Kenaikan nilai sigma akan memberi indikasi adanya penurunan tingkat defect per million opportunities (DPMO), dan berakibat pada penurunan biaya sampai 20%.

The philosophy and methods of six sigma process development have been applied successfully since mid1980s, and the application of the six sigma concept in non-production processes has increased significantly in the last decade. In this paper processes that can be characterized by learning curves are modeled. The quality of such processes can be analyzed on the basis of the six sigma concept. In this paper two back office processes are analyzed. The processes are built up of simple repeated steps and incorporate some interruptions. The application of the model allows the calculation of the maximally permitted number of interruptions in the process if the preliminary determined norm is to be kept.

Company can be competitive in industry by providing a good quality product according to specification and have no defect. Used DMAIC concept (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) of six sigma method can be used to get zero defect level. The defines phase used to identify the problem. The measures phase used performed to measure the level of disability in a production. The analyzes phase to determine the cause of problem in production process using fishbone diagram. Improvements phase used to improve the process andeliminate the cause of disability based on the analyze phase. The last phase is the controls phase, used to control the performance and ensure the main problems cause the disability does not reappear using Statistical Process Control (SPC). From the result of analysis data obtained DPMO value and sigma level before the application of six sigma method is 30,020 cups per million production on 3.38 sigma level. Whereas after the application of six sigma method obtaining DPMO 7,093 cups per million production on 3.95 sigma level. With the result, reduction of defect is as much as 22,927 cups.

Abstract:
Sigma (σ) is a Greek letter that has become the statistical symbol and metric of process variation. Six sigma is a disciplined, customers focused process designed to help organizations to move towards the creation of near perfect products and services. Six sigma (6σ) increases quality by reducing variation, defects and costs. 6σ is used in almost all fields of human activity. 6σ has been considered a powerful business strategy that employs a well structured continuous improvement methodology to reduce process variability and drive out waste within the business processes using effective application of statistical tools and techniques. This article i) gives the general introduction about the concept of six sigma, ii) briefs about the two 6σ methodologies DMAIC and DMADV, which are most commonly used by the organizations to achieve 6σ performance level, iii) discusses some of the applications of these limits in reducing the process variability. Some remarks about the results of applications of 6σ, the future requirements and benefits of 6σ are also discussed.

Abstract:
Process capability indices are utilized extensively in the quality control inspection process, both at the level of production and for general business operations. They take into consideration both the location and the deviation from the specified limits and targets. Several literatures have contained contributions on this issue. Existing PCIs based on Six Sigma, on the other hand, merely displayed a range of quality levels rather than a single quality level value. Thus, previous studies have found the insufficient and ineffective deployment of Six Sigma to process control and yield process. Motivated by industrial Aden oil refinery process performance case study, we discuss the density characteristic of oil to estimate the process yield, and the capacity of the process.In addition, an effort to identify the level of quality in which the refinery operates. By investigating two different methods for estimating process yield, the sigma level, which areby extends the indicesto estimate capacity, level of sigma, and yield process. The analyses and findings indicated that the indicesoutperformed the existing indices. Ultimately, Six Sigma-based process yield index represents a potential approach that other industries and practitioners can utilize to assess process performance and quality control.

Abstract:
The successful implementation of the six sigma quality improvement program is demonstrated through the improvement of the capability process in producing products leading to zero defect. Therefore, the concept of calculating process capability is very important to understand in the implementation of the Six Sigma program. This research raises the problem of the low level of capability process in producing yarns at PT. Sutra Cotton Textile Industries, Surabaya. By wisely applying six sigma techniques can help reduce things that can affect overall costs. If a company has successfully implemented the concepts in six sigma, then it can be ascertained that the company is truly a reliable company in the world class. Another advantage gained from the implementation of the Six Sigma program is the achievement of targets, namely the increased capability process, of course, in terms of cost. From secondary data in May 2019, in the measure phase it is known that the DPMO value of 16,266 which can be interpreted that of one million production carried out there was a defect of 16,266 with a sigma value of 3.64. From these results it can be said that the production process in Winding has not been able to produce products that fit the desired specifications and is still lagging behind other subprocesses. method. The main priority in carrying out corrective actions based on FMEA is to clean and check the machine at the end of each production cycle. From the results of improvements, the sigma value and DPMO value obtained in September 2019 is 10,977 DPMO which means that of one million production carried out there is a defect of 10,977 with a sigma value of 3.80.

Abstract:
The world has taken the word “construction” as nation developing phenomena. The country’s economic and social development depends upon its rate of productive construction. The productivity is acquired if time and quality of construction has taken into consideration. There were various methods of increasing the construction productivity such as Project Management Technique- Critical Path Method, Program Evaluation and Review Technique etc. These techniques some-how increased the construction efficiency but it didn’t obtain the required expectation. Thus, Six-Sigma- as a philosophy, which was considered in this paper. The five phases of Six-Sigma will provide the systematic way to increase the efficiency. Define(D), Measure(M), Analyze(A), Improve(I) and Control(C) are the five phases of Six Sigma. The paper is based on two work portions, one with questionnaire and other is practical use of Six Sigma in construction industry. The questionnaire was sent to 100 individuals out of which only 60 questionnaires were retrieved. The obtained questionnaire was evaluated with the RII (Relative Importance Index) method. The case study in which six- sigma was used is of internal tiling work for a residential building. The flat was of 2BHK and 2 numbers of flat were observed. The initial tiling work was evaluated without any direction and the sigma level was 2.08. After applying the Six Sigma Concept, the obtained level was 3.7. Hence, this research paper demonstrate that Six-Sigma is able to optimize and improve time and quality of construction projects.

Abstract:
Purpose This study aims to expand the current knowledge of the Six Sigma approach in a period of time when there is little direct evidence of the need to improve the credit card account opening process. This is an important but neglected area of focus in the Six Sigma literature. This study explores the extent to which process improvement practices are extended to the credit card department. Design/methodology/approach A case study methodology is adopted in this study to facilitate an exploration of the implemented Six Sigma approach in the credit card department of a leading commercial bank. The process improvement tool used is the define, measure, analyze, improve and control (DMAIC) cycle. Findings The study’s results confirm that the Six Sigma approach improves the quality of the credit card account opening process. So, the Six Sigma approach can account for a reduced number of keying-in errors, resulting in better data accuracy and improved customer satisfaction. Research limitations/implications The authors, in an attempt to render the study results more feasible for data collection, have chosen to focus on the process of the new accounts unit of the credit card department. Therefore, the authors have not taken into account the other units (e.g. transaction processing) of the same department. Practical implications The results of this study will be useful in persuading bank management to evaluate and implement the Six Sigma approach. Hence, this research will assist bank managers with replies to questions, such as: “What impact will Six Sigma have on process-centric improvement, such as the new accounts opening process of a credit card department?” Originality/value Within the literature on the Six Sigma practice, there is little research that focuses on the implementation of this particular toolset especially for credit card departments. This indicates a gap in the field. A new contribution to bridging that gap comes from the analysis of the results for the Six Sigma concept, which addresses the new accounts opening process.

Abstract:
Quality is when it meets the wants and expectations of customers or even exceeds them. Every company must raise the quality of its current products and services. A complete and adaptable approach for establishing, maintaining, and maximizing company success is Six Sigma. Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) is one of the tools used to implement Six Sigma. PT. KRM is one company engaged in the automotive sector, which produces Colt Diesel trucks. This research focuses on the welding processes. Defective products were found in as much as 5% of total production, exceeding the company's target of 3%. This research was conducted to determine the process capability based on product defects with the Six Sigma DMAIC method approach, then to find out the proposal for implementing quality control by analyzing the causes of defects in the production process and then looking for continuous improvement with the 5W+1H concept. The improvement was made to decrease the DPMO value of 4.496 and increase the sigma value of 0.19. This study demonstrates how the Six Sigma DMAIC approach can improve the quality of the cabin production process for the part side outer pillar LH. This case can help company managers apply Six Sigma methods to solve complex problems in other processes.

Abstract&#x0D; The aim of this paper is to examine improvement strategy using 4 approaches categorized as “substitutes for strategy” in operations strategy and to propose a framework for future research. This paper used a descriptive approach to examine peer-reviewed articles that were selected for analysis purposes. The analysis revealed that the majority of previous studies always used the principle of continuous improvement in 3 operating concepts, namely TQM, Lean, and Six Sigma, and the use of the breakthrough improvement strategy in the concept of Business Process re-engineering. Therefore, this study proposes a future research framework that is related to operational management concepts but uses the opposite improvement strategy approach. This article provides a future research framework that can be used as a basis for other researchers in the future to examine TQM, Six Sigma, Lean, and BPR from different perspectives of the improvement strategy. Professionals who worked in the operations field can use the framework provided in this article to view the company's strategy from a different perspective to gain a competitive advantage for their organization.

From analze phase, it is known that the causes of wastes were (a) The split of job description in inspection session is not focus,(b) The filter in chycling mchinedidn't work well caused by unslilled operators, ( c) the number of crushing machine is insufficient so there were material piles. The purposed improvement plans are are (a) Review and improve job description especially in inspection and weighing section, (b) Give additional training to operator who work in spinning section, (c) Machines and tool inspection before starting the production process so it is going to work well.

Abstract:
Today, only those companies which are capable of permanent and fast adaptation to quickly-changing conditions can survive. Six Sigma is at the top of the agenda for many manufacturing companies that try to reduce cost, process variability and improve productivity. In order for a company to remain competitive and maintain maximal efficiency and availability of all its plants and machinery, what is needed is an approach different from the traditional concept of doing plant maintenance. In this paper an attempt is made to investigate the gap between plant maintenance practices and Six Sigma approach that led us to suggest that there is a great deal of scope in the prescription of Six Sigma in maintenance theory. Further this paper explores the possibilities of enhancing the usefulness and effectiveness of plant maintenance practices by the integration with established Six Sigma Operation Techniques (SSOT). Thus to enhance maintenance deployment in manufacturing environments, a new roadmap for core maintenance professionals for integration has been proposed. The conclusion that can be drawn from this on going research is that, in order to reach its goals, the maintenance departments must implement Six Sigma program to change the way in which traditional practices employ at work for continual improvement of the maintenance function.
