Introduction
In the manufacturing sector, maintaining high product quality has become a strategic requirement due to increasing global competition. Organizations are expected to deliver defect-free products, control costs, and meet customer expectations consistently. Traditional quality control methods are often inadequate, leading firms to adopt systematic improvement approaches. TQM with reference to Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma provides a structured way to improve quality across all processes. Lean manufacturing focuses on eliminating waste and improving process flow so that every activity adds value. Six Sigma emphasizes reducing process variation and defects through data-driven analysis. When combined as Lean Six Sigma under the TQM framework, these methodologies help organizations improve efficiency, enhance product quality, increase customer satisfaction, and build a culture of continuous improvement.
AIM
-
To understand how quality management can be improved by using lean manufacturing and Six Sigma together.
-
To study how lean and Six Sigma help in reducing waste, lowering defects, and improving work processes.
-
To identify the important factors needed for successful implementation of Lean Six Sigma in manufacturing companies.
-
To examine the common problems and difficulties faced while adopting lean and Six Sigma practices.
-
To evaluate the effect of lean six sigma on overall performance and customer satisfaction.
-
To suggest simple strategies to maintain continuous improvement and gain long-term competitive advantage through lean six sigma.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Design
This study uses a descriptive research design to understand the existing quality management and improvement practices in the organization. The researcher collects information through surveys and factual analysis to describe the current situation accurately. The study follows an ex post facto approach, where the researcher does not control the variables but studies them as they exist. To keep the findings clear and unbiased, the researcher uses simple statistical tools such as percentages and averages. The study uses both primary and secondary data to obtain reliable results.
Type of Data Collected
-
Primary Data: The researcher collects primary data directly from employees using structured questionnaires. This helps in understanding their experiences and opinions about quality management, lean manufacturing, and Six Sigma practices.
-
Secondary Data: The researcher gathers secondary data from books, journals, research papers, and online sources related to quality management, lean manufacturing, and Six Sigma. This data supports the study and provides a strong theoretical base.
