Six Sigma is a methodology containing various tools and techniques to make improvement in a process. The purpose of this research is to reduce the defects, maximize the profit, and make small scale industries more efficient. This Six Sigma Project was conducted at a valve manufacturing industry located in Maharashtra. The industry was performing at Sigma Level 3.0 and the newly achieved Sigma Level is 3.5. It is predicted that if the solutions are continuously applied for 6 months then the industry can achieve Sigma Level up to 4.0. A control plan was also provided to the industry which will help them to keep implementing the solutions for a longer period of time. A lot of energy and material wastage is prevented by reducing the defects which is a huge benefit for the environment in the long run.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
