5. SIX SIGMA IN TATA AUTOCOMP

6. Six Sigma essentially means improving the business
processes followed in an organisation for serving the
customers better and as a result achieving the planned
organisational objectives.
Tata Autocomp followed the following strategy in order
to reduce their error rate of production :
• Identification of the problem : It was identified so as
to which process needs improvement and why
• Measurement of performance : The current
production was measured as against the target
production

7. • Analysis of the problem : The causes for the apparent gaps between
the production were identified and crutinised.
• Improvement : Appropriate measures were undertaken to ensure
that those gaps are filled.
• Control : A detailed plan was established to make sure the
improved process is sustained and thus a control mechanism was
put into place.
Tata Autocomp didn’t just ensure the completion of the Six sigma
process, but they made sure the process is followed and monitored till
date. This resulted in the company doing financially better not just in
operational area of production but also in the overall business goals
which had little association with six sigma.
Through such effective implemetation of six sigma in various sub-
projects, Tata Autocomp is inching closer to its target of an error rate
of merely 50 parts per million.
