IDT holistic roadmap

Vlado — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:54:27 +0100

A discussion group focusing on completing Task 6.4 of the Joint Program

"Based on the Delphi survey, a study of the technological developments in the area of Innovative Design Technology (IDT) will be conducted to highlight their industrial relevance and economic and social impact. The study will build on the roadmap, foresight report and grand challenges, and strategy for addressing challenges facing manufacturing deliverables produced earlier by the cluster and on documents from FP7, Manufuture initiative and other related projects. The aim of the tast is to develop an industrially inspired roadmap defining a unified research policy in the field of IDT that will help achieve a competitive advantage for European manufacturing"

Six Sigma

Soroka — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 15:24:30 +0000

Six sigma is an effective problem solving methodology for improving organisational performance, with a focus on:

Reducing variability
Reducing the number of mistakes that occur down to practically zero
Improving performance in the eyes of the customer
Reducing costs
Measurement and metrics are central to the Six Sigma methodology
Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) must be established

Lean and Six Sigma are thought by many to be conflicting strategies, but this is false and they are in fact complementary.
