As a result of adopting Six Sigma, many companies equipped with mass production system seem to get more financial effects in these days. In some cases with small volume high variety production system, however, it is not easy to apply Six Sigma properly and to find some financial results as well. In this study, we reviewed the deployment process of Six Sigma and characterized each development step, for one of the major Korean companies with small volume high variety production system. To enhance the short term cash flow, the project-based improvement strategy can be replaced by the whole process optimization and the reducing efforts of opportunity costs as well as COPQ (cost of poor quality). This approach is now applied to all functions of the company, including strategic planning, sales, R&D, production, quality assurance, purchasing, and management support. Furthermore, a sustainable Six Sigma growth strategy is suggested for the companies with small volume high variety production system.

  ANOVA is widely used for measurement system analysis. It assumes that the measurement error is normally distributed, which may not be seen in certain industrial cases. In this study, the exact and bootstrap confidence intervals for precision-to-toleranc

Recently, many universities over the world are struggling to have the competitive edge. Some of them are implementing ISO management system for an efficient administration processes and safe and clean environment. For many years, ISO 9000 quality management systems have been widely adopted in the universities, while only a few universities are implementing ISO 14000 environmental management system in their educational system. In this study, we proposed how to implement ISO 14001: 1996(E) environmental management system in universities and showed the case study of Daegu Health College's ISO 14001 environmental management system.

최근 국내외 대학들이 경쟁력 강화를 위한 방안의 하나로 ISO 9001 품질경영시스템 인증 또는 이와 유사한 평가를 받고 있으며 ISO 14001 환경경영시스템 인증도 증가하고 있는 추세이다. ISO 9001 과 ISO 14001은 서로 추구하는 목적과 대상은 상이하나 근본적인 목적이 고객만족을 통한 경쟁력 강화에 있다고 할 수 있다. 또한 경영시스템이라는 공통점이 있으므로 통합시스템을 구축할 경우 시스템의 효율성 제고, 비용절감 등의 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 대학의 학사행정에 대한 ISO 9001/14001 통합경영시스템을 도입하고 실행하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.
