Modelo de controle do desempenho seis sigma em processos de produção contínua

Abstract

With the increase of the customer's demand degree, the search for the quality improvement is consolidated as one of the strategies more proceeded in the different market segments. The Six Sigma initiative is a system of quality management that has been showing efficient and effective in guide organizations in the way of improvement, taking the quality as fundamental reference. Related to the Six Sigma initiative, the problem of ascending research of this dissertation it was summed up: how to control in an objective way the performance Six Sigma in processes of continuous production? In a way, the objective of this dissertation is to develop, in the Six Sigma context, an objective model of performance control in processes of continuous production. The used research procedures were, with base in the objectives, the exploratory research and, with base in the technical procedures, the bibliographical research, the research of case study type and the experimental research. For fund the dissertation, was proceeded with the materialization of a theoretical reference on models of performance control and on the Six Sigma initiative, being identified in the sequence, in three organizations, two peculiarities of the processes of continuous production: the importance of the performance control in processes of continuous production, and the care exercised with the expedition of products doesn't conform. A model of Six Sigma performance control in processes of continuous production was proposed, model that contemplated the use of two performance indicators that were denominated sigma level and loss level. The model was positively evaluated, because the results demonstrated that the model of performance control presents characteristics capable to bring more objectivity in the performance control in processes of continuous production, because when different weights are attributed at the indicators of acting sigma level and loss level, different objective orientations of the model are had. In this way, the proposition and the evaluation of the model of Six Sigma performance control in processes of continuous production offered a larger understanding concerning the thematic proposal; besides showing the importance of models that they allow the control of capable managerial actions they increase the customers' satisfaction: fact that interferes in the profit and survival of the organizations.
