Six Sigma and Total Quality Management at Logas
Six Sigma is a discipline rooted on conscious elimination
of defects by managing process variations responsible for defects. These process
variations create defect opportunities. The Six Sigma methodology measures defects
per million opportunities with the aim of eliminationg those defects completely
or keeping defect levels at 3.4 per (one) million opportunities
Logas Six Sigma Drive
The major driving force in the Logas Six Sigma quality system is the voice of the
customer (VOC). The customer defines quality objectives while Logas interprets quality
objectives using standards such as IPC and any other relevant standard explicitly
stated on the contract. Logas aims at keeping the margin between the designed quality
and manufactured quality to near zero. Logas maintains quality standards that guarantee
quality levels that are greater than the client's quality objectives.
At Logas, the assembly of products involve steps that has been optimized to reduce
cost, guarantee desired quality levels and reduce lead times. The Six Sigma thinking
is essential to Logas processes as each solder joint and each modification constitute
a defect opportunity.
