Six Sigma, DMAIC, Gear Box, Dent, Quality Improvement

DMAIC is a Data-driven quality strategy used to improve processes. It is an integral part of a Six Sigma initiative, but in general can be implemented as a standalone quality improvement procedure or as part of other process improvement initiatives such as lean Technology. The present paper deals with application of six sigma for gear box system for dent minimization purpose. The various problems which lead to Gear box rejections such as Noise, Leakage, Damages, Assembly jam were studied in details for period of 2013-2016. All the parameter of DMAIC technology such as Define, Measure, Analyze, improve & Control were applied to above stated problem. The given study found that the Dent Minimization has been successfully carried out and has a satisfactory effect and can be a promising factor to improve future quality issues.
