Abstract

This paper deals with the implementation of process-level Six Sigma in an auto component manufacturing plant. The objective for presenting case studies here is to assess the importance of Six Sigma strategy in Indian manufacturing companies. The details of Six Sigma methodology and principles are presented here. The case studies mentioned here are developed for a product in an automobile component manufacturing company, M/s ABC Ltd., an MNC. The project mentioned here is a process-level Six Sigma, applied in their components manufacturing area. With the structured methodology of Define, Measure, Analyse, Implement, Improve and Control (DMAI?C) approach, they were able to achieve 4.1 sigma level from 3.75 sigma level (before the start of project) as explained in detail in the case study.
