Six Sigma and Application of Six Sigma in Garment Industry
SIX SIGMA AND APPLICATION OF SIXSIGMA IN GARMENT INDUSTRY TO IMPROVE THE ACCEPTANCE LEVEL
P.SENTHILKUMAAR
ABSTRACT
In this paper I am going to present you about the six sigma, its origination, basics, about six sigma, and the application of six sigma to improve the acceptance level in garment industry. And also various bottlenecks in the implementation of six sigma in garment industry will be discussed.
KEYWORDS DMAIC, VOC, SPC, CTQ, TQM, DFSS, DPMO, BLACK BELTS, MASTER BLACK BELTS, GREENBELTS.
INTRODUCTION
SIX SIGMA: THE BASICS & ORIGINATION Six Sigma is a revolutionary business process geared toward dramatically reducing organizational inefficiencies that translates into bottom-line profitability. It started in the 1980s at Motorola; then, organizations such as GE, Allied Signal, and Motorola; then, organizations such as GE, Allied Signal, and Seagate worked with the initiative during the 1990s and made it the most successful business initiative of the era. Motorola Allied Signal General Electric Philips Sony, Toshiba… 1987 1994 1996 2000
Key to the Six Sigma methodology of the 1990s is a five step process—Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control.
SIX SIGMA DEFINED AND EXPLAINED
The basis of Six Sigma is measuring a process in terms of defects. The statistical concept of six sigma means processes are working nearly perfectly, delivering only 3.4 defects per million opportunities (DPMO). Sigma (the Greek letter ) is a statistical term that measures standard deviation. In the context of management, it’s used to measure defects in the outputs of a process and show how far the process deviates from perfection. A one-sigma
