DMAIC – SIX SIGMA

El presente estudio es una investigación aplicada que tiene como objetivo adaptar la filosofía de manufactura esbelta a la industria de la confección, como una estrategia para permanecer dentro del mercado globalizado mediante la herramienta DMAIC; el nombre es un acrónimo de los pasos de la metodología: definir, medir, analizar, mejorar y controlar. Para ello, se elaboró un diagnóstico en las empresas maquiladoras con el propósito de determinar las causas que generan la baja productividad del sector maquilero; posteriormente, se cuantificó las variables que afectan a la productividad y se continuó con un análisis e integración de sistemas de mejora y control de los métodos para garantizar la permanencia de este tipo de empresas en un mercado globalizado. AbstractThis research is an applied investigation whose objective is to adapt lean manufacturing philosophy to the garment industry as a strategy to maintain itself in a globalized market with the use of DMAIC framework; the name is an acronym which represents the steps of the methodology: define, measure analyze, implement, and control. To do so, a diagnosis of maquiladora (assembly) companies with the purpose of determining what causes low productivity in the maquilero sector; subsequently, variables which affect productivity were quantified and we continued with an analysis and the incorporation of methods of improvement and control systems to ensure permanence of these types of companies in a globalized market.

Lean Six Sigma is a management focused on quality and productive performance in operating systems. This article discusses the foundations of this methodology through of two different conceptions of management, Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma. First of the article explain the DMAIC (define measure, analyze, improve and control) and their respective phases, after the Lean philosophy with the sipoc and value stream mapping techniques. The article aims to show integration of these two conception and their results. The methodology consisted in a theory was based on a literature search an exploratory research which consisted of three case studies in differences companies located in Sorocaba, São Paulo. In this article studies the applying of Lean Six Sigma and its results.

Do So

Corporate organization and activities extend beyond conventional ownership limits in a variety of ways. The marketing channel, for example, exerts substantial influence on the firm's internal activities. Organization structure and processes in the corporation information and control systems are affected by channel considerations. Arguments have been raised against attempts by one channel member to direct the efforts of all or part of an interorganizational vertical network. However, most scholars are believed to support the view that some form and degree of leadership is desirable and, at any rate, manifest in many day-to-day exchange activities. This article asks three important questions: Who has the ability to lead channels? Who is in the best position to do so? Who should lead?

Do So

A herpes-like virus has been isolated from duck embryo fibroblast (DEF) cultures inoculated with blood from Marek's disease (MD) infected birds. Cultures which contained this virus produced MD in susceptible chickens while virus negative cultures and control cultures failed to do so. This and other circumstantial evidence including similarities in properties of the virus and the MD agent implicate this virus in the etiology of MD.Histochemical studies demonstrated the presence of DNA-staining intranuclear inclusion bodies in polykarocytes in infected cultures. Distinct nucleo-plasmic aggregates were also seen in sections of similar multinucleated cells examined with the electron microscope. These aggregates are probably the same as the inclusion bodies seen with the light microscope. Naked viral particles were observed in the nucleus of infected cells within or on the edges of the nucleoplasmic aggregates. These particles measured 95-100mμ, in diameter and rarely escaped into the cytoplasm or nuclear vesicles by budding through the nuclear membrane (Fig. 1). The enveloped particles (Fig. 2) formed in this manner measured 150-170mμ in diameter and always had a densely stained nucleoid. The virus in supernatant fluids consisted of naked capsids with 162 hollow, cylindrical capsomeres (Fig. 3). Enveloped particles were not seen in such preparations.
