One of the cornerstones to business success, as well as solving business problems, is continuous quality
improvement. Six Sigma is the most well-known and well-received quality improvement method. Six
Sigma is a statistical measure of variability that identifies the source of inefficient and out-of-control
processes. Six sigma was used to eliminate duplex gluing faults in cartoon manufacturing at the Big Box
firm in this Case study. After identifying and adjusting the levels of three components that were
discovered to be the cause of the increasing defective units, the number of defectives was successfully
reduced. The speed, the amount of pressure used to set the glue, and the pressure time are all
significant factors. (Byrne 2021)
Analysis
Six Sigma locations a heavy emphasis on achieving verifiable and demonstrable economic gains, as
properly as robust and enthusiastic management support. In fact, it makes use of each human and
technique elements to address problems, such as way of life alternate and patron focus, as nicely as
procedure management, statistical analysis, and size device analysis. Managers and personnel in Six
Sigma have a hierarchical organizational shape based totally on their competence. In the Six Sigma
programmed, the Master Black Belt is the individual with the best diploma of technical and
organizational effectively and serves as technical leadership. Green Belts, on the different hand, are
personnel who have been taught in Six Sigma equipment and who make contributions to Six Sigma
initiatives whilst nonetheless having different duties. However, in the case the “success and failure”
factor are considering as blown. The Big Box management team considers which task management
approach to use. (R 2021)They'd want to implement an Agile approach since it aligns with their
Customer's project management style, but they don't have any agile experts on their staff. All formal
initiatives are managed using the PRINCE2 methodology, which includes stringent stage gate
management and a single deliverable at the project's conclusion. They also consider using a DMAIC
diagram to connect with the Six Sigma analysis, but because they are unfamiliar with this approach, they
dismiss
this Recognize notion.

Moreover, The Customer Service Department in Manchester successfully established a group briefing at
the start of each day, and each of these briefings utilized the new Performance Board. The Department
is fortunate to have a recent Math’s graduate who has conducted some statistical analysis of
manufacturing problems and presented the results on the Performance Board. All defects have been
detected earlier than gadgets have been dispatched to Customers. In the manufacturing areas, the
Boards are in vicinity however no longer up to date daily, and most of the KPIs suggested are no longer
wholly understood via the Operatives. Mike Jones performed Shift Briefings for a full week in the
Manchester Factory in order to kick-start this activity, however in the course of his The Shift Managers,
who are concerned of addressing their groups in a formal briefing, and dwell on consideration of the fact
that this would just lead to delays in production throughout hectic periods, did not maintain this after a
two-week excursion.
As the saying goes, if I give a man a fish, he can only survive a day. But if I teach the person to catch the
fish, he can live for a lifetime. For Lean Six Sigma to survive for a lifetime, organizations need to train
their team members to be powerful change agents. Yellow Belt, Green Belt and Black Belt training, along
with skilled mentors, can help increase organizational awareness. The employees identified for training
should share the organization’s vision.
