Abstract

This work is based on the study on Implementation of Six Sigma Process in Industry. Six Sigma is the one of the most powerful management tool used to achieve process excellence. It has been successful in many western companies; most of them are fortune 500 companies like GE, Motorola, and Ford. As Jack Welch, Ex- CEO of GE said, “Six Sigma is the most important initiative GE has ever undertaken. It is the part of the genetic code of our future leadership”, Six Sigma is now started becoming an important & popular tool to remove variation & to reduce defects from product, process & service. All over world organizations are implementing process excellence initiatives like Six Sigma to improve process & product quality. History of these process initiatives shows that the implementation of these initiatives is successful only in a few organizations. Many organizations in India are also implementing Six Sigma to Improve Business Processes. But geographical, cultural & work environmental differences influences this implementation process. An implementation strategy developed for Indian work environment will increase the effectiveness of Six Sigma in Indian Organizations. For this, a Six Sigma Implementation model exclusively developed for Indian Organizations considering the experiences of representative organizations is required. By using this model effectiveness of Six Sigma implementation in Indian Organizations will increase. The objective of this research is to develop a model for implementation of Six Sigma in Indian organizations. In this study, an emphasis is given on human angle in context with Indian Culture and work environment because experience shows that for implementation of any new initiatives in organizations, the success of implementation depends on soft skills of people of organizations. This is an exploratory research. The research methodology incorporated qualitative & quantitative research instruments. A comparison is done between various process excellence initiatives. An integrated methodology using the tools, techniques, and skills from lean principles and Six Sigma is necessary to optimize the business process. Lean focuses on process speed, and Six Sigma focuses on process quality. This combination is very useful for Indian organizations and used while developing the Implementation model in this research. In this research models developed are Indian organization and SIX SIGMA application, Implementation and Project and operation management through SIX SIGMA model. Validation of the model is done by comparing the internal customer satisfaction survey before and after implementing the model. Extensive data is gathered for this and analyzed. A full study from the particular organization is taken to check Six Sigma model implementation model. Best of the both lean and Six Sigma methodology is used while developing these models. These models can be effectively used to reduce the cycle time of the business process.
