    The case study examines two approaches - Six Sigma and DMAIC - for Lexus Power Plant to achieve its objective of establishing quality standards to minimize production expenses. The Six Sigma approach is comprehensive and can precisely classify attributes to set tight tolerances, potentially cutting costs. However, it may be disadvantageous if the product design needs to change. The DMAIC approach can monitor processes, assess risks, and ensure continuous improvement through data collection. However, it does not prioritize meeting client demand. Recommending the Six Sigma approach, as it is a precise strategy that can help Lexus Power Plant set quality standards to reduce errors and lower manufacturing costs, in line with the company's objective.

    Instruction: Read and analyze the case study below. Write your answers on the spaces provided.

    • In the Interesting box, write down how each approach would contribute in achieving the objective
    of the power plant. In the My Decision box, write down your recommendation on how Lexus
    Power Plant will achieve their main objective using one (1) between the two (2) approaches being

    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.

    The six sigma approach is intriguing because it is a more

    quality standards that ensure a lower rate of errors in
    order to cut the company's manufacturing expenses.

    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 that the Lexus power plant was necessary to set quality standards
    and remove defects. Six sigma is a typical quality benchmark for many, if not all, key competitors in today's competitive
    global economy.
