Abstract –There has been number of papers published related to Six Sigma applications in manufacturing and service organizations. However, very few studies are done on honing machine in all the areas including manufacturing, construction, education, financial service, BPOs and healthcare etc. Considering the contribution of Six Sigma in recent time, a more comprehensive review is presented in this paper. A systematic approach needs to be adopted, which optimizes systems as a whole, focusing the right strategies in the correct places. In this paper it is show how a honing process can be improved and optimized using six sigma. Even applications of Six Sigma tools are observed in this paper. In the research paper DMAIC Cycle is been used for process characterization & process optimization,
This paper contributes to knowledge by providing an insight into the evolution of the Six Sigma. A very few paper are available related to analysis of honing machine using six sigma. Literature exploring the environmental/green impact of quality management methods commonly used in industry is limited. There is also a lack of studies aiming to investigate the green impact of Six Sigma in top operations and quality management journals.
