Summary Introduction
To explain: How lean and Six Sigma can work together in making process improvements.
Introduction:
Lean:
Lean is a manufacturing procedure where the primary goal is minimizing the waste as much as possible without affecting the productivity.
Six Sigma:
Six Sigma is a quality approach to a data-driven management that is looking to progress its processes by removing defects periodically, so that they get closer to zero defects as much as possible.

- Explain the following in Process Model Quality Assurance (Mention Examples if required) [10] Validation Certification Verificationarrow_forwardBackground information: Allison collected additional days of data to monitor the process. Steps to monitor using the control charts: Now monitor the process. An additional ten days of data have been collected, see table labeled “1st 10 Days of Monitoring Reservation Processing Time” in the Data File. Develop Xbar and R charts for the 1st 10 days of monitoring. Plot the data for the 1st 10 days on the Xbar and R charts. Is the process in control? If the control chart indicates an out-of-control process, note which days, the pattern, and whether it is the Xbar or R chart. Now that we have set up the control charts using enough data from a stable process, the 30 days of data, we will monitor the process. While monitoring the process, what will we use as the lower control limit for the X-bar Chart to compare against our new x-bar values ? Enter your response to three decimal places. You do not need to include the units (minutes), ONLY the numeric value. USE EXCELL DATA TO GET…arrow_forwardWithout a process improvement like R&D, improvement cannot take place.arrow_forward

Each box contains 6 individual 1.5-ounce packets. To reduce the chances of shorting the customer, product design specifications call for the packet-filling process average to be set at 43.5 grams so that the average net weight per box of 6 packets will be 261 grams. Tolerances are set for the box to weigh 261±15 grams. The standard deviation for the packet-filling process is 1.01 grams. The target process capability ratio is 1.67. One day, the packet-filling process average weight drifts down to 43.0 grams. Is the packaging process capable? Is an adjustment needed? Since the process capability index, Cpk, is (____), the process is (_____) . (Enter your response rounded to three decimal places.) Since the process capability ratio, Cp, is (_____), the problem is that the process is (_____) . (Enter your…arrow_forward
