Application of Lean Six Sigma Tools for Reduction of Defects in Pump Manufacturing

Abstract:

Lean Six Sigma tools are widely being applied in various manufacturing units of different sizes; still there is an apprehension among the industry regarding the benefits reaped from the implementation of this tool. Under this background, this paper attempts to explain the benefits of these tools implemented in a medium scale unit to improve a particular process. The various steps involved in implementation and the results are analyzed for the purpose of this study and explained in this paper.
