Case Study: Electrical Manufacturing Company Lexus Power Plant is a large electrical manufacturer based
in northern part of India. The company employs around 12,000 people and is one of India’s leading public
sector companies. The company manufactures large turbines, transformers, etc. which are used in power
stations for their clients that are based in India and abroad. The main objective of the power plant is to
establish quality standards that ensures lower rate of defects in order to minimize the production expenses of
the company.
My Decision
The primary purpose of the power plant is to set quality standards that assure a lower incidence of errors, hence
lowering the company’s production costs. I urge that Lexus Power Plant use the Six Sigma technique, according
to management 9 Operations management. Six sigma is a quality benchmark that reduces mistakes by 3.4 percent
per million items. This equates to a 99.9 percent perfection rate, demonstrating the Lexus power plant was
necessary to set quality standards and remove defects. Six sigma is a typical quality benchmark for many, if not
