Abstract
Six-Sigma is based on the elimination of waste from the processes, both value added and non-value added, used to produce goods and services. There are five primary elements to consider while implementing Six-Sigma holistically; manufacturing flow, organization, process control, metrics and logistics. Regardless of industry, one of the key processes of manufacturers is material handling. A great deal of waste can often be found in the material handling processes of manufacturers. The operational management teams of firms are often tasked with the hurdle of reducing this waste to meet business goals and meet customer demand. Many times, techniques such as Six-Sigma are mandated as the methods by which operational groups must reduce this waste and create improvement opportunities, but a specific roadmap to define the objectives of the operational group is not provided. The goal of this research is to develop a methodology that will provide management groups with a tool to assist in defining the objectives of Six-Sigma implementations at Powerica Ltd. The central focus of the methodology is to identify waste and prioritize solutions based on the business goals of the organization. This report thereby seeks to encapsulate the learning derived from the internship period. This report is an attempt to analyze and study the seven wastes of lean materials and the ways to reduce these wastes at Six-Sigma. There are many issues found in the manufacturing process of products at Six-Sigma. This study speaks about few issues and explains how solutions were arrived with the adoption of lean methodologies. The lean methodology is being adopted in the company for previous 5 years.
