We have proposed a basic definition of Six Sigma and a beginning hypothesis taking into account a grounded approach. Albeit Six Sigma is based off of earlier quality management practices and standards, it offers a rather varied and malleable structure for development. The basic differences, at the same time demand both more control and investigation into the improvement aspects. Many associations might gain advantage from the Six Sigma approach on the grounds that it fits their hierarchical needs better (Schroeder, 2007). Conclusively, the major differences are postulated below…

HPC is deciding on whether or not to launch a new product line. Furthermore, if the company decided to proceed with the project, then the new product, Energy Gel, should be evaluated. The Energy Gel case describes three approaches in order to estimate project costs which are direct cost advocated by Harry Wickler, full cost supported by Mark Leiter, and equipment based costing supported by Frank Nanzen. The direct costing basis only considers the variable costs that are directly identified with the Energy Gel project. However, it ignores many costs or benefits including cannibalization of the existing Energy bar product, use of valuable excess capacity, and the possible increases in the overhead expenses. On the other hand, in full costing basis, Leiter considers the project as a stand-alone entity, which ignores benefits from the use of excess capacity and fixed cost activities. Lastly, the equipment- based costing by Nanzen proposes that Wickler…

I performed exhaustive data analysis from three trial batches and three small GMP batches for quality control, validation, manufacturing controls and stability, which enabled me identifying, evaluating and controlling associated risks.
