Information strategy planning (ISP) pursues alignment of business strategy and IT (Information Technology) strategy as well as derivation of feasible and valuable IT projects. However, conventional ISP methodology hardly obtains the objectives because of its intrinsic shortcomings. Diverse ways are proposed for the improvement of the conventional methodology including, for example, combination of EA (Enterprise Architecture) with ISP. Meanwhile, six-sigma methodology which is characterized by quantification, scientific and systematic approach, customer orientation, process orientation has been gaining considerable attention and extending its application scope continuously. In this paper, an innovative ISP methodology is proposed by decomposing activities, methods, and tasks from conventional ISP process and reorganizing them into DMADOV six-sigma framework. In addition, the usefulness and applicability of the newly proposed methodology are provided using an electronics company example. The methodology enhance the possibility of producing future oriented and beneficial IT projects by associating IT strategy and the projects in the form of quantified causal relationship. Besides, it can also increase the objectivity of IT vision and strategy.

This paper includes an example of applying Six Sigma to Non-function test process to improve the efficiency and reliability of the Ammunition Stockpile Reliability Program (ASRP). By applying the DMAIC which is one of the Six sigma methods. we found out the vital few and as an improved version : effective redesign of check-sheets, pre-examination of technology, on-the-scene support system. As a result, we could enhance the reliability and reduce manpower and additional expenses.

With the environmental changes around libraries and information centers, they need to develop various management techniques and apply them to library works and services. In this research a case study was conducted in a special library of If company. This study was aimed for reducing ineffective components and unnecessary processes in library works and services. This study applied the Six sigma technique to improve the process of purchasing overseas academic and strategic Information and users' a degree of satisfaction on information service. Specifically, this study used the live-step DMAIC(Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) method, mainly used in the manufacturing sector. As a result of this study, we could get epoch-making improvement.

L Company is producing the second sept pin, Shadow Mask which is the chief part of CRT in W, Monitor. Inside of the CRT pan, Shadow Mask leads the electronic beam to express the three primary colors; red, green, blue, and it is the core part to embody the colors. In the etching process, it produces this part with manufacturing by eroding the iron chloride. Even though the iron chloride is harmless to human body. it is necessary to diminish the amount of it on the view of preservation of environment. In addition, by studying the method of the dispossed liquid process, cutting down the manufacturing cost is a necessary task on the aspect of reconsideration of competitive business. This study shows the case that through the six sigma innovation activity, it reforms the following the former processing flow, and it reduces the amount of it by improving the efficiency of the iron chloride. By rationalization of the standard requirement cooperative company, it could cut down the manufacturing cost in the cooperative company, so it could promote the common profits.

There are increasing numbers of foreign and domestic organizations that are using CMM/CMMI to establish their processes and keep improving them. CMMI and IDEAL models of SEI provide the best practices of processes and guide the organization using them based on processes maturity levels. However, they do not deal with their tools or methods that describe how to implement the processes in the organization. Therefore, in this paper, we developed a method in which various tools and statistical methodology of 6 sigma are applied to identify the process areas to be improved, to extract problems in those areas and to prioritize them. We expect this paper can contribute to the organizations that are searching for practical way of implementing CMMI based software process improvement and of identifying improvement items systematically. Also this method will be used to understand the result of improvement activities quantitatively.

The development process of Embedded Software (SW) is gathering interest due to the increased importance of SW in mobile products. According to tough competition and the growing size of the Embedded SW, there is a demand for a new effective way to improve the SW development process, based on customer and market quality aspects, rather than focusing on defect removals in individual SW modules. We review 103 SW improvement projects from the area of mobile phones in order to check the effectiveness of Six Sigma which is the standard for the process improvement statistical tools and methods.

As the knowledge-based society has been constructed, the size of work process that has to be done grows bigger and the amount of the information that has to be analyzed increases. So each company is trying to construct more conformable process models in business model. In order to support the process construction of companies practically, in this paper tools of Six Sigma is applied to process definition and tools of PSP is applied schedule management. And to use the proposed tools efficiently, the procedure of process definition and schedule management are suggested. The goal of the proposed method is to achieve the process aim within the Time-To-Market by applying the process management of organizations and persons. And the goal of individuals is to improve personal process with the collected data.

In order to improve the performance of succeeding superstore construction projects, it is essential to find out an effective way for applying the opportunities of improvement on their repetitive construction process based upon the analysis of various success or failure cases occurred on previous similar projects. This research study suggests a way to improve their construction process through the applications of six sigma techniques on superstore construction projects. A literature review was implemented on the basic concept of six sigma and its general performance steps, and the step by step applications of six sigma techniques were accomplished regarding to the speciality of superstore construction projects. The opportunities of improvement for superstore projects were figured out, and the result of their applications on other superstore projects was analyzed. As a result, it was found that the adoption rate of identical success or failure cases was increased. Also, there were several improvement effects on the projects such as $10{\sim}20$ days of time savings by projects, decrease of reworks by preventing failure cases, quality and safety improvement. These results indicate that the six sigma techniques are applicable and valuable for improving the repetitive process of superstore construction projects.

This paper presents a low power and high resolution incremental delta-sigma ADC that utilizes a passive integrator instead of an opamp-based active integrator. Opamp is a power-hungry block that involves tight design tradeoffs. To avoid the use of active integrator, the s-domain characteristic of an active integrator is first analyzed. Based on the analysis, an active integrator with low gain design is proposed as an alternative design method. To save power even more aggressively, a passive integrator with no static current is proposed. A 1st order single-bit incremental delta-sigma ADC using the proposed passive integrator is implemented in a 65nm CMOS process. Transistor-level simulation shows that the ADC consumes only 0.6uW under 1.2V supply while achieving SNDR of 71dB with 22kHz bandwidth. The estimated total power consumption including digital filter is 6.25uW, and resulting power efficiency is on a par with state-of-the-art A/D converters.
