Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the anodising process of a portable amplifier production process to identify and eliminate the sources of variations, in order to improve the process productivity. Design/methodology/approach The study employs the define-measure-analyse-improve-control (DMAIC) Six Sigma methodology. Within the DMAIC framework various tools of quality management such as SIPOC analysis, cause and effect diagram, current reality tree, etc., are used in different stages. Findings High rejection rate was found to be the main problem leading to lower productivity of the process. Four types of defects were identified as main cause of rejections in the baseline process. Pareto analysis resulted in detection of the top defects, which were then analysed in details to find the root cause of the problem. Further study resulted in finding improvement measures that were discussed with the management before implementation. The process is sampled again to check the improvements, and control measures were established. Practical implications The study provides a framework for implementation of DMAIC Six Sigma methodology for a manufacturing firm. The results presented are based on the data collected from the shop floor. Results and findings of the study were implemented for quality improvement of the process. Originality/value The study is based on an original research conducted with the objective of quality improvement in the anodising process of the production process. Besides presenting an approach to DMAIC Six Sigma methodology, an application of the current reality tree tool for root cause analysis is presented, a tool used limitedly in the Six Sigma studies. The tool finds its uniqueness in its ability to address problems relating multiple factors than isolated factors.

According to the strategy of Total Quality Management (TQM) [7] effective quality assurance of mechanical objects is maintained by means of permanent monitoring processes carried out in the cycle of product formation. The quality assessment of processes and the optimization of their crucial elements are the necessary condition for the improvement of efficiency and achievement of high level of customer satisfaction [15]. So far most of the techniques used for the process improvement are adopted to Lean Six Sigma methodology [1, 2, 11, 12, 17]. Achieving the quality on the level of 6 sigma is a primary goal of applying this methodology. Opinions exist that Lean Six Sigma should be implemented in the large number of areas of the life, and its effects (essential improvement in financial results through the reduction of poor quality costs) are hard to overrate. High effectiveness of every single process that is possible to achieve by applying the Lean Six Sigma strategy, became a source of inspiration for the study of Design For Six Sigma (DFSS) [4, 8, 12, 13], with purpose to improve object quality by implementing the innovation in product development.

Manufacturing in India is witnessing a wave of growth, which is required to be supported by measures to increase productivity. Improved technology and infrastructure, design and process innovation, skill development, quality improvement and waste minimization are some of the ways that can be adopted to achieve this goal. At the same time demand for higher value at reduced price is also increasing on the consumer front. As a result, manufacturers are increasingly adopting quality improvement techniques to improve productivity and quality, reduce waste and thereby providing higher value at moderate cost. The data driven Six Sigma quality improvement methodology provides a framework to identify, eliminate and control the causes of variation in an operational process. In this paper, we study the chassis preparation process of an amplifier production process and implement the Six Sigma DMAIC model to identify the causes of variation, suggest and implement measures for improvement, and establish control measure to control the process performance post implementation stage. The implementation of the DMAIC methodology improved the process performance and provided measure to maintain dependable quality in the process.
