The application of Six Sigma methodology in quality improvement
P.H. Mammadov PhD in Economics - Baku Engineering UniversityIn modern times, by applying the Six Sigma method of lean industrial production, enterprises are to achieve maximum efficiency with minimum waste and continuous improvement of the quality of products and services produced without harming the environment, human health and safety. Here, the Six Sigma method is discussed due to the defects that may occur in the product, and with this method, both the costs of quality improvement are reduced and productivity and efficiency are increased.
Research methodology – In lean production, in addition to the KAIZEN and 7S methods, quality improvement is carried out using the Six Sigma method, and this method is the methodology of the American company Motorola.
The applied significance of the study – Reducing product losses in production, reducing the number of defective products, improving quality and reducing quality costs.
Scientific innovation of the research – By creating a prototype of the product before starting mass production of each manufactured product and identifying all known possible defects through this prototype in advance, quality control can be further improved, raw material resources can be saved, and production costs can be reduced.
