The way, in which Six Sigma has taken its advantage in abroad, we can expect same results in India too. This
even happened in large companies but small scale industries could not take its benefits as they can. Only few of the
Indian SSI’s have implemented Six Sigma. It is due to various reasons but lack of knowledge is also a big reason for that.
If few of these industries move forward and adopt Six Sigma than it is an inspiration for other industries also. For this
initiative an attempt has been made by implementing Six Sigma in small scale foundry which was affected by high
rejection of products due to various defects. This study gives overview of various tools and techniques for DMAIC
implementation, ground status of SSI’s and success of Six Sigma in foundry
