Abstract
In this paper, we analyze and review introduction, implementation, and revision phases in the six sigma movement in LG Electronics. In LG Electronics, 6 sigma activities have been activated not only at manufacturing divisions but also in transactional processes, business, product R&D, marketing, and software development. At present, six sigma is a tool to improve processes and also become the engine of the business innovation. In this paper, concepts and contents of an on-going LG innovation process called TDR(Tear Down & Redesign) are explained in detail. We also propose important aspects and give the future prospect for six sigma.
