Six Sigma, Business Administration assignment help

Question 1

Six Sigma was started at Motorola
but gained great visibility as a result of its implementation at General
Electric under the tutelage of Jack Welch.

Just-in-Time came to the United
States as an adaptation of the Toyota Production System.

Lean became part of the business
lexicon as a result of James P. Womack and Daniel T. Jones’s book Lean
Thinking: Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation.

Discuss the differences and
similarities between these three approaches to quality.

Examine whether the three approaches
can be used independently or in combination with each other. Support your
answer with examples.

Think of how you would decide the
best approach to quality for your company.

Question 2

Just-in-Time came to the United
States as an adaptation of the Toyota Production System. When it first came to
the United States, it was deemed to be Zero Inventories, although Taiichi Ohno
actually called the process “Lean.”

Discuss the basics of Just-in-Time
using an example from the industry. Further, justify whether Just-in-Time is an
inventory control policy or a process improvement methodology. Also, examine if
it can be both.
