Abstract
This paper focuses on the application of DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) process of Six Sigma methodology for increasing the production numbers in an electronics manufacturing industry. The overall production numbers are improved by identifying the root causes and improving the process efficiency. Detailed analysis of the process cycle time for all stations is conducted and key areas for improvement are identified. Proper implementation of the suggested changes is conducted, and the results are verified. Further recommendations are provided for addressing the key improvement areas for reducing the cycle time of the bottleneck process. The findings highlight the benefits of implementing six sigma processes in an electronic manufacturing industry and provide a roadmap for other organizations seeking similar improvements by using data driven decision-making.
