Researchers of Six Sigma have often suggested that the quality improvement activities are continuous in order to meet customer satisfaction or requirement. Another important objective of a six sigma project was to gain the profit result from the decreased Cost of poor quality (COPQ) after improvement has been done. The most of enterprises were carrying out quality continuous improvement in order to increase productivity and profit margin. Six sigma was an effective tool to improve quality and ultimately the goal of Six Sigma is to move toward no variation in process. However, considering the extra investment that may be made in a six sigma project, it is important to identify the profit that is brought to the organizations. On the other hand, it wasn’t easily for a project leader or manager to understand the purpose and to set a threshold to decide when the improving was optimal. Now, we try to develop a model to evaluate the six sigma project decision making with a multi-objective programming model that will assist manager and project leader to decide process improving opportunities. It is a multi-objective goal programming model about calculating Sigma level for a typical Thin Film Transistor (TFT) process. The model considers a multi-stage process rolled throughput yield in a TFT Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) major Array, Cell and Module process. Meanwhile, the other factors such as investment cost, profit …and expected sigma level will be also taken in consideration in this model.
Result of this study showed a multi-objectives goal programming model can calculate the optimal six sigma level for performing process alternative and the organization can reap the profit from it at the same time. We can determine to continue or to terminate the six sigma project to meet optimal quality from VOC with strategic consideration. When the organizations want to decide the optimal process alternatives, the organizations need to consider many constraints such as minimum cost investment, improvement budget, maximum sigma level and optimal process capability…etc. The multi-objective problems can be solved in this model with optimal solution! Optimal Sigma level decision making model can effectively help manager to decide whether to continue the six sigma project.
