dc.descriptionCompanies today often face the new millennium challenges of fierce competition and decreasing business safety margins. As a result, high quality and low cost products with short lead time are increasingly becoming core competencies in today’s marketplace. Hence, the latest developments in Industrial Engineering collectively aim at helping companies improve the quality of products and services, increase operations effectiveness, reduce costs, and increase market share. Initiatives such as Total Quality Management (TQM), Business Process Re-engineering (BPR), Lean and Agile Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and Kaizen are examples of such developments.
dc.description.abstractThis paper describes an approach for achieving Six Sigma rating in Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) criteria measured through a system Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model. Lean manufacturing techniques are utilised at the Improve (I) phase of DMAIC to reduce manufacturing lead time. DES provides a flexible platform for applying DMAIC analyses as well as lean manufacturing techniques. An example of a simple manufacturing process is used to clarify the application of the proposed approach. Results showed that while achieving Six Sigma rating may not be always practically attainable at system level, significant relative improvement can still be achieved.en_US
