Application of the Six Sigma methodology DMAIC model for applied optimization in an automotive company in the border area of Tamaulipas

Abstract

This research begins by presenting an explanation of the benefits obtained by other companies, by applying the Six Sigma methodology, its background to the methodology, as well as statistical principles for understanding the operation of the methodology and requirements for its implementation. In the Define stage, it shows the way in which the investigation of the problem was carried out in the area of the automotive line A/C lines model: IHX of a Fluid Transfer maquiladora company, in the Mesure stage it is the research and development of GR&R, in the Analyze research and development stage of PMAP, in addition to the elaboration of test implementation, in the Improve stage it is the definition of a plan for the implementation of improvements, how we implement and verify the final solution, and finally the Control stage It is how we guarantee that the solution was implemented correctly, we monitor the progress of the program, how much the process has improved since the implementation of the improvement program, to which other processes we could extend the program and make improvements to them. The specification of how efficiency was increased, cost reduced (Scrap) and capacity increased automotive A/C lines model: IHX to produce and detect non-conforming material, using Six Sigma statistical methods.
