Multiple Case

This study examines the contribution of a pair of opposite factors: technology versus people, and innovation vs. continuous improvement to obtain manufacturing flexibility. These factors are opposing as they play different roles in TQM and BPR. An exploratory multiple case study was conducted that involves three Malaysian manufacturing companies from electronic and electric sector. The results show that flexibility could not be achieved through technology solely, but by combining technology with people, the required outcome is attainable. By applying innovation and continuous improvement simultaneously, it will yield better flexibility than if only one of them was used. The contribution of these factors in the selected manufacturing setting could guide practitioners to obtain flexibility and verify the research model that could be tested further in a survey.

This paper presents the defect identification, defect reduction and continuous improvement in public road transportation by using lean six sigma methodologies. Lean methodologies will reduce the waste i.e. unnecessary efforts or tasks. The main aim of lean is to improve productivity i.e. to increase profit to the organization. The six sigma methodologies are centered towards the elimination of variations i.e. reduction of defects. The main objective of six sigma is 3.4 defects per million opportunities, whichlead to fulfilling the customer requirements. The six sigma tools arearithmeticaland statistical based. The lean mainly focused on the flow and the six sigma mainly focused on the problem. By combining, these two methodologies and implementing in public road transportation will leads to increase the profit of the organization and customer satisfaction. The results achieved by using DMAIC methodology and lean tools.
