First off I am pleased that you, Books-R-Us, is going to adapt to the Six Sigma process. Not only will things run smoother, the harvest-time better, but the end node will to a fault be happier. I am going to plan out the course for you below if you need whatsoever additional help here is the master black belt who you will want to contactNow assuming that everyone has already read Six Sigma for Everyone by George Eckes, Im not going to go into defining all of the technical terms he does a fine job of doing that in his book. telephone circuit Case We are going to revamp out assembly line project to run both effectively and efficiently. The assembly line is the core of the business, and if it isnt running both effectively and efficiently, we are loosing gold.Problem Statement We have made no measures to improve our line, even though we have the take away for our books. We only have one employee, who by the way cant keep up with the demand. We need to get to the point to where for every 1,000,000 books are sell madam customer only rejects 3 or 4. Now this would be easy to do if we were only putting out 5-6 books a day, but we also need to put out a great number of books.Project Scope Bottom line, like I have sated over and over, is improving our dominance and still maintain a level of being efficient. Easier said than done, right? Wrong, if we focus on where the bottlenecks are in the line, and focus on the areas that are causation the books to be rejected (I.E. the folding process) we can improve our system dramatically. We are not going to worry about the bottom line and net profit. That isnt your job as assembly line workers we will leave that up to the group of executives for Books R Us. We realize that in the beginning we may be loosing money because this is going to take time to turn things around. We only want to worry about the assembly line, thats it. Goals and Objectives Right now at the current step of the process (with one employee), we are mak ing 4 books per shift, but we are also having 4 books rejected. We are loosing money, obviously. We have the demand for our books, if we put our 1,000 books and madam customer rejected 0, we would sell 1,000 books.
