MALVIYA NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, JAIPUR Department of Mechanical Engineering Course Handout

Course code Course Title Course Type Course Credit (LTP) Course prerequisite Course Description The Six Sigma course focuses on process improvement through waste elimination and variation reduction. It is applied on processes that are inefficient and ineffective. The applications of tools are not restricted to manufacturing or engineering processes, it could also be applied to transactional process in Human Resources, Finance, Information technology, Customer Services etc. Objectives After completing this course, student will be able to: Use Six Sigma concepts to improve process conformance Look at the components of process efficiency, volume and cost Hands on experience in using MINITAB software : ME 340 : Six Sigma : Open elective : 4 (3-1-0) : None
