This paper is the result of the collaboration between the professors of the Department of Mechanics and the Production Management of the University of Mondragon and the 4 th year students of the Karelia University of Applied Sciences in Finland. The developed case is the optimization of the flight process of a paper propeller, based on the Six Sigma DMAIC methodology. The objective was to show how to train the students of the Master in Innovation and Project Management in Mondragon University, in the acquisition of the knowledge and skills needed in (Continuous Improvement Process CIP) and Quality Engineering (QE). Student feedback reflect, that the application of simulation case, has been valid to understand the theory and acquiring skills related to the techniques of QE, specifically in standard methods of continuous improvement, statistical tools, and standardization systems.
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.
