Optimize Steel Sheet Yield Strength

The managers at Tata Steel identified variability in the yield strength of steel sheets as causing production losses due to variation in tensile strength. The goals of the project are to reduce variability in yield strength and achieve process capability indices of Cp and Cpk greater than 1.33. The project scope focuses on identifying factors affecting yield and controlling the process using Six Sigma DMAIC to find optimized factor settings.

Define Phase:

Customer wants was identified by the managers of Tata Steel who handles the quality and
manufacturing department of the Steel sheets of DP780, of Jamshedpur, Jharkhand.

PROJECT CHARTER:

Problem Statement- The variability in the yield strength of the Steel Sheet is large and
which results in the variation of tensile strength. This is affecting the strength of the metal
sheet resulting in production losses.

Goal Statement-

 To reduce the variability in the Yield Strength of the Steel sheet.


 To achieve the process potential capability index and process performance capability
index i.e., Cp and Cpk values for the Steel sheet, to be greater than 1.33.

Business Case of the Project- The scope of the project is focusing on yield enhancement of
the Steel sheet. It is done by identifying the major factors the affect the yield process and the
methods to control the process. The factors and their optimized settings are found using six
Sigma DMAIC.

Scope- SIPOC
