MGMT 405: Six Sigma Quality Management Homework- Purdue University
Question I
Assume you, an Industrial Engineer, are conducting a Six-Sigma Project on minimizing defects and improving processes in Ikea or Safat Home. Develop a Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) to define potential process or product risks.
Use Microsoft Excel to construct a complete FMEA tool by
o Identifying two possible failure modes for service/shopping experience in Ikea or Safat Home.
o Calculate the corresponding Risk Priority Number (RPN).
o Recommend action plan for eliminating the corresponding failure modes and improving the process and product quality.
Question II
Identify and explain five error-proofing examples implemented in a manufacturing facility.
Question III
100 bottles entered a bottle-filling process that has three main stags. The first one has three possible failures. The second has four possile failures. The third has five possible failures.
The first stage produced 27 defects. The defects were found in 10 bottles. The second stage produced 57 defects . The defects were found in 15 bottles. The third stage produced 64 defects. The defects were found in 20 bottles.
Determine:
o DPMO.
o SQL (Approximately).
o PPM.
Question IV
Suppose that the defects found in five bottles in first stage were fixed, and the defects found in ten bottles in the second stage were fixed, and the defects found in ten bottles in the third stage were fixed.
Determine and explain each of the following:
o FTY for each of the three stages.
o FPY for each of the three stages.
o RTY using the FTY.
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
o The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
o The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
o Also include a reference page. The Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
