Research objectives and methodology
As revealed from the literature survey that application of
Six Sigma improvement methodology appears rare among
the large-scale food-processing sectors in India. Thus, the
basic objective of this study is to implement Six Sigma at
one of the leading food-processing units and illustrate the
benefits drawn out of the same. The DMAIC methodology
was applied to one of the chronic problems having considerable impact on the quality and productivity of the unit
in question.
