  • Many leading companies know that the best quality dominates the world economy in the next 21 century and Six Sigma Program of Motorola Corporation could be considered as a typical model for it. Six Sigma Program is based on the quantitative analysis and the professional qualify manager's training. In fact, this program is a strategy to accomplish the total quality innovation by applying the standardized quality control techniques to the manufacturing or non-manufacturing operation parts. Since many companies recognized their successes and vision, leading domestic companies are very much interested in establishing and driving this program. However, they must understand the meaning of the program correctly and prepare the practicing strategy sufficiently, since there are many differences in ways to drive between other quality program such as TQM and Six Sigma Program. Otherwise, it should lead a big disappointment and another vapour of management paradigm. This study considers the concepts and features of Six Sigma Program of Motorola Corporation and suggest the effective practicing strategy, pointing out the possible problems.

  • This paper describes simulation of navigating a sailboat around obstacles to a goal as quickly and safely as possible. Navigation strategies using concepts from fuzzy control are compared with more conventional ones through application at the levels of choosing an optimal heading and steering the sailboat towards that heading.

  • Purpose - The study aims to show the successful application of Six Sigma in software companies for process improvement. Research design, data and methodology - A mixed methodology has been used which include both qualitative and quantitative research. In the qualitative research methodology part, a detailed and comprehensive literature study have been carried out. The literature study consists of articles, books, web materials, discussion forms and others. In the quantitative research methodology part, interviews have been conducted. Results - Six sigma is the practical application of a theoretical statistical measurement that equates to 3.4 defects per million opportunities -a position of practically zero defects for any process or service. Initially originating in Motorola Inc. in 1985 as a response to drastic quality improvement pressures from the threat of Japanese competition, it quickly gained many followers particularly G.E., Allied Signal, Ford Motor Company etc. and more recently attentions have shifted to service environments. There are still some problems and misconceptions existed about the applicability of Six Sigma in software companies. Conclusions - The paper concludes that Six Sigma can bring large benefits for software companies too. Furthermore, software companies have already started to implement Six Sigma approach, like Ericsson, Tata Consultancy Service, etc.

  • In this paper, as a study of programmable software radio digital communication, we implemented ASK(Amplitude Shift Keying), FSK(Frequency Shift Keying), and PSK(Phase Shift Keying) modulation using programmable software(algorithm) of DSP(Digital Signal Processor). Moreover, it is possible to select one of those three modulation methods by realizing on single DSP. We adopted Motorola DSP56002 and Crystal CS4215(A/D and D/A converter) for our purpose. The DSP56002 is 24-bit and operates 20 MIPS at 40 MHz, and the CS4215 is 16-bit and supports the maximum 50 kHz sampling frequency.

  • This paper presents a development of the Pulse Width Modulation ASIC for control of the AC servo or spindle motor in machine tools. The ASIC is designed two PWM functions for simultaneous control of a converter and an inverter. Also the device includes additionally two UART functions for interfacing the RS232C with PC or other devices. The device is connected to the microprocessor of Intel or Motorola by bus interface. The required output voltage and frequency for the motor control is programmed to the PWM block and the corresponding switching signals are calculated and generated with regard to the programmed value.

  • The methodology of Six Sigma originated at Motorola in the early 1980s is nowadays proved to be an effective way in Improving the quality. Many companies find adding Six Sigma to their current business system gives them all or almost all the elements of total quality management(TQM). However most companies where Six Sigma is implemented confront many difficulties in non-manufacturing parts such as transactional and administrative processes. In this paper we discuss distinct aspects of such non-manufacturing process, and investigate activating scheme of Six Sigma in those parts of industry.
