How is the lean six sigma process defined?
DMAIC - Define Measure Analyze Improve and Control
DMAIC is also known as the Six Sigma breakthrough strategy. This is the structured process by which you move through the stages of solving your performance problem, or making a performance improvement.
You go step by step. You first Define the Problem, then Measure its severity, Analyze the possible causes, Improve the situation and then Control the scenario so that the issue does not happen again
DMAIC Six Sigma DMAIC is a systematic process or to help organizations build better output. It helps to learn more about this process and how it applies to you and your company.
How does a manufacturing system differ from manufacturing process?
Key Differences:
- Simultaneous production and consumption
- Critical aspects of services are intangible
- There are no inventories or buffers
- There can be considerable variability in service delivery
- Service usually consists of "substantive" and "peripheral" components

Disadvantages of iso 9000 system?
1. Time. The multiple review processes can be implemented in a streamlined fashion or, if improperly managed, can bottleneck completion. There are a number of factors involved here, but projects are most affected when the evaluation period(s) are used as an excuse to add time or cost to a project in order to "filibuster" certain requirements, or when certain evaluation techniques become outdated. This is most often seen when using tools that, although properly calibrated, simply are outdated -- sometimes simply due to the fact that the new product outstrips these tools. Since the evaluation periods are structured into ISO 9001:2008 in such a way that everyone begins to view them as mandatory, it can be difficult to find work-arounds which will allow for deliverables to be posted in time.
2. There is heavy focus on customer feedback, but often not enough feedback from the workers themselves. This seems to sometimes be a large company, environment-specific problem. When workers are highly knowledgeable engineers and developers, with experience and skill (as they should be), and they alert management or D&D of potential problems, they should be listened to attentively. Unfortunately, in larger organizations, scale may prevent the message from reaching the appropriate ears. An easy solution? Some form of anonymous tip box. As old-fashioned as it might seem, a tip box implemented in the ISO style (with follow-up, documentation, and posted results) can be highly effective and a boost in company worker morale.
Extremely exhaustive process which takes a lot of time and resources.
Certification once completed does not gurantee 100% compliance as the organization takes it easy for a while after it leading to variation in performance.

Lots of things go into the rising transportation costs of the agricultural industry, including rising prices of oil and increased competition in the field.
How much does a manufacturing engineer make?
3 billon dollars a year It depends on your level of experience and education. An experienced (5 years or more) manufacturing engineer with a 2 year degree or better, could land a job as a senior manufacturing engineer (average pay $78,000 / year). For similar experience in a manufacturing engineering job or process engineer the average pay is closer to $55,000/year. Of course, it also depends alot on your location...average is just that, average. There may be some areas that pay closer to six figures, and some that pay closer to $30,000/year depending on the industry and demand for jobs.

What year was frigidaire refrigerator model FRT18S6AW7 made?
The first method of refrigeration (cooling air by the evaporation of liquids in a vacuum) was invented in 1748 by William Cullen of the University of Glasgow, Scotland; Cullen did not apply his discovery to any practical purposes. Michael Farady, an English physicist liquefied ammonia to cause cooling (in the 1800's). Faraday's idea would eventually lead to the development of compressors, which compress gas to liquid form. The American inventor Oliver Evans designed the first refrigeration machine in 1805. In 1844, John Gorrie, an American doctor from Florida made a device based on Evans' invention that would make ice in order to cool the air for yellow fever patients.
The first electric refrigerator was invented in 1803 by Thomas Moore. The first commercial refrigerator designed to keep food cold was sold in 1911 (by the General Electric Company) and in 1913 (invented by Fred W. Wolf of Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA); these model consisted of a unit that was mounted on top of an ice box. A self-contained refrigerator (with a compressor on the bottom of the cabinet) was invented by Alfred Mellowes in 1915. Mellowes produced this refrigerator commercially (each unit was hand made), but was bought out by W.C. Durant (the president of General Motors) in 1918, who started the Frigidaire Company in order to mass-produce refrigerators in the USA.
How do you cut stainless steel?
Depending on the thickness and how nice you want the finished edge to look, steel can be:
- sawed
- sheared
- cut with an oxy-acetylene torch

- cut with an abrasive wheel
- cut with snips
What are some of the different types of manufacturing systems?
The 3 main types of industrial production are: a continuous flow where thousands of the product are made 24/7, mass production where hundreds are made (usually on a production line) but not 24/7, and a batch where only about 5- 150 of the product is created.
What are the factors affecting the design process in manufacturing?
Here are a number of factors commonly considered when selecting processes. Some of these can be quickly listed, as below (not in order).
• Tolerances
• Material
• Quantity
• Feature Accessibility
• Safety
• Finish
• Cost

Answer
Lean and sixsigma are certificates sold by companys for profit. Normaly these companies will advise the buyer on how to run there business and will acredit them when they can show that they have paperwork to match their criteria. Lean critera would involve minimising the stock held "in house" as in "Just in Time" managment founded by the Ford motor company in the 1920's and minimising footfall in doing certain procedures as in time managment. Sixsigma would involve minimising product defect to within defined criteria as in Total Quality Managment(TQM) refer to Dr E W Deming circa 1950 and Philip Crosby (Zero defects) circa 1960. Niether of these ideas are new in business management And the quality of the awards/criteria for being awarded can vary between companies.
Answer
LEAN is a set of principles, concepts and techniques designed for the relentness elimination of waste .for producing a "JUST IN TIME "system that would deliver to our customers, aim to keep zero stock.
*what they exactly want
*when they need it
*In the quality they need
*In the right sequence
*In the lowest possible cost
SIX SIGMA is reducing variation and eliminating defects, target to achieve zero defect..
Six sigma quality process (1.5 sigma shifted) giving a result 3.4 defects per million opportunities.
ONCE WASTE IS ELIMINATED BY USING LEAN,ONE CAN APPLY SIX SIGMA TO REDUCE VARIABILITYAND SUSTAIN THE PRODUCTION TO BE NEAR PERFECT.
Lean is a tool used in the manufacturing or processing industry that helps eliminate waste. Waste is define as anything that does not add any value to the process, also known as Muda.
Six Sigma is a quality control tool that reduces variability in production. Six sigma doesn't allow more than 3.4 defects per million of opportunity. Opportunity is defined as what the customer wants, their expectations.
Once waste is eliminated by using lean, one can apply six sigma to reduce variability and sustain the production to be near perfect.
The goal of Six Sigma is to increase profits by eliminating variability, defects and waste that undermine customer loyalty.
Six Sigma can be understood/perceived at three levels:
- Metric: 3.4 Defects Per Million Opportunities. DPMO allows you to take complexity of product/process into account. Rule of thumb is to consider at least three opportunities for a physical part/component - one for form, one for fit and one for function, in absence of better considerations. Also you want to be Six Sigma in the Critical to Quality characteristics and not the whole unit/characteristics.
- Methodology: DMAIC/DFSS structured problem solving roadmap and tools.
- Philosophy: Reduce variation in your business and take customer-focused, data driven decisions.
Six Sigma is a methodology that provides businesses with the tools to improve the capability of their business processes. This increase in performance and decrease in process variation leads to defect reduction and vast improvement in profits, employee morale and quality of product.
-------
Six Sigma is a rigorous and a systematic methodology that utilizes information (management by facts) and statistical analysis to measure and improve a company's operational performance, practices and systems by identifying and preventing 'defects' in manufacturing and service-related processes in order to anticipate and exceed expectations of all stakeholders to accomplish effectiveness.
I use a software system that will talk to you with audio as it walks you through the entire methodology. I like to refer to it as my professor in a computer. It has all the templates and tools for statistical analysis, reads and reports the analysis and archives the report while providing a complete tracking system, provide training and best for a large team driving multiple projects. Too much more to say.

Someone above me mentioned Muda--waste. According to Ohno, there are seven kinds of waste: overproduction, unnecessary transportation, inventory, motion, defects, overprocessing and waiting. Other sources identify latent skill, danger, poor information, material and breakdown as sources of Muda. Ohno also claims Mura--unevenness--and Muri--unreasonableness--as wastes.
