Application of Six Sigma level in delivery schedules in high volatile production environments

Abstract

In the present competitive market conditions, in addition to quality and lower cost of products, sticking to delivery schedules is also a very important factor. This is difficult in a production environment where human skill and psychological factors still play a vital role. Permutations and combinations are used in the PERT method for solving such problems in different conditions through a developed software. The Tsch obtained in random and extreme conditions are studied with the actual project completion time over a period of time in the printing organisations to achieve Six Sigma levels in delivery schedules.
