Tóm tắt

Any business that wants to compete may need to constantly raise both its output and quality. An effective and popular approach to achieving continuous improvement is known as Lean Six Sigma. This paper demonstrates a successful implementation through a case study in wood manufacturing. The enhancement greatly benefited from the optimization of the production process. The seven quality control tools were integrated into specific systematic steps of the PDCA cycle and DMAIC process, along with lean technology. As a result, this led to an increase in product quality and a decrease in manufacturing errors. Customer satisfaction and market competitiveness have risen as a result. A wood production line's productivity and quality were both improved, and this case study demonstrates the positive effects. It could be considered for implementation in various production or assembly lines in other fields such as electronic, clothing and furniture assembly lines.
