defect may be defined as anything which does not meet customer needs or expectations. The calculation of defect rates for non-normal situations is yet to be addressed. The start-up cost for six sigma into a corporate culture (training, consulting, improvement implementation; and software) can be asignificant investment (Karbasian et al., 2006). Committed leadership of top management and fully fledged training are crucial to the success of Six Sigma implementation. Human resource functions need good harmonization

Sigma and the Quest for Continuous Improvement. What if you could make innovation an integral part of your process? No one argues against continuous improvement. The concept of improving results and performance on a continual basis is universally hailed as a great idea. Doing it is another matter. First off, in order to improve continuously, you have to improve initially. Sometimes it’s easy to see the flaws. Most of the time, it’s not. That’s why business results are often a mixed bag: two steps

employed by witnessing improvements that will have continuous, long term influences within the company. This is accomplished by creating alignment within the company leadership. Six sigma offers a way of thinking that facilitates improvement by reducing the amount of variation in each process. Statistical tools are used to provide insight so that management can predetermine process outcomes. It also provides a method to analyze a process to determine areas of possible improvement. Both lean teams and

allows you to take complexity of product/process into account. Rule of thumb is to consider at least three opportunities for a physical part/component – one for form, one for fit and one for function, in absence of better considerations. Also, you want to be Six Sigma in the Critical to Quality characteristics and not the whole unit/characteristics. Methodology: DMAIC/DFSS structured problem-solving roadmap and tools.

The paper focus on basic concepts of Six Sigma

created for one sole purpose—process improvement. An engineer named Bill Smith, who worked at the cellphone company, Motorola, in 1986, first initiated this principle. 9 years later, Jack Welch from General Electric made Six Sigma central to his business strategy. The name Six Sigma was originated from the Greek letter sigma, which has a function of denoting variation from a certain standard. In statistics, the word sigma measures how much is the distance of a certain process with perfection. The main

1. Introduction Fine food organizations focus on providing quality food produce to a wide range of consumers. In order to do so companies should have implemented a strategic business model followed by efficient operational processes that will achieve company objectives. These processes however may encounter some if not many operational issues and problems (OIP) if not efficiently structured and executed. The aim of this report is to discuss strategic operational issue/problem(s) affecting a
