Today, many companies will be isolated in competition if they do not have competitive power to overcome quick change and big crisis of market. Nowadays, globally high-grade companies have done their best for increasing their competitive power through a many kinds of methods in keen competition for making of pacesetting position. This study focuses on distribution with the domains like capacity, layout, amount of location, assignment of product, operation procedure and operation rule in order to improve these domains, we make a further application of eight analysis ways based on DMAIC method for improving operation of processes of distribution center as the third profit source. The purpose of this study is to seek an approach that can easily adopt of Lean Six Sigma in operational management of distribution center by a kind of data, analysis method and template.

Since 1980's, many enterprises have constructed Strategy Information System and tried BPR, ISP. Also, they implemented ERP and practiced the Process Innovation and Six Sigma for Management Innovation in todays. Although most companies had previous good plans, but those are not satisfied. Because of failed to change management and continued next activity. Many Project for Process innovation are ended as disposal project in my case, if they want next project, they need a new plan which needs additional fund and resource. This paper studied Process Innovation and Six Sigma in many things and proposed new model for continued project on the master plan. Also it proposed next study subject about ERP Optimization and Harmonization after implemented ERP which is considered as next step of PI.

Motorola developed the framework of six sigma in 1987. In these days, many companies adapt this powerful tool. In 1996, six sigma was introduced to the Korean companies as a management innovation tool. This study shows case study of 'Champion Project' which was adopted on one Korean company. The champion project is directed by the leader who has a champion belt. The project focus on the processes optimization problem or resource concentration problem to solve critical issues inside of the process. This case study shows the result of champion project. The effect was encouraging in the aspect of effectiveness and efficiency. The most important point of this study is an introduction of the third generation six sigma which was successively adopted on the Korean company.

Most companies in Korea that are implementing six sigma programs evaluate belt's project performance based on their own evaluation systems. Financial performance is a major criterion to evaluate project performance. New project evaluation systems which are based on not only financial performance but also non-financial performance need to be presented for better performance system. The study presents the integration system of balanced scorecard and six sigma project evaluation systems to show balanced view points of performance. Each evaluation index of four view points are presented in the study and could be utilized for alternative project evaluation systems.

Six sigma is a business strategy and a systematic methodology using statistically oriented approach to process and product quality improvement. Many cases have reported significant benefits from six sigma implementation. But, some organizations have been reported that six sigma methodology has not given the expected benefits. Further, small and medium sized companies have faced various barriers. The purpose of this paper is to examine the successful case study on the improvements of partnership between large and small/medium-sized companies via six sigma activities. Data were collected using in depth interviews of six sigma champion, master black belt, and black belt from one large company and five medium-sized companies in Gumi industry zone.

Six sigma has been the most influential management innovation program since 1996 in Korea. As a result of successful implementation of 6 sigma, there have been a number of dramatic quality improvement cases. However, no empirical study of 6 sigma implementation study has done especially in the service industry of Korea. This article reviews status of finance companies which implemented 6 sigma programs in Korea and then demonstrates the relationship between 6 sigma problem solving tools such as analysis of variance and graph techniques, etc and project success and operational performance. Customer survey tools, process analysis, and documentation tool are identified as influential tools on project success. Tools of measure steps, customer survey tools, and documentation tool are found as influential tools on operational performance.

Six sigma activities in an information and communication technology company in Korea are introduced. Korea Telecom(KT) was a public company for a long time and became a private enterprise not long ago. Although this company adopted many innovation programs, they were not effective because of the company's characteristics : long-time government-owned and information service industry. This paper describes the reason why KT introduced six sigma, some implementation strategy, and key factors to successfully deploy it. This paper is expected to be helpful to public or service industry in which it is very difficult to implement innovation activities.

Successful Six Sigma methodology involves continual success of projects, each incrementally moving the organization closer to its strategic goals of shareholder return and customer satisfaction. However, Six Sigma methodology has some disadvantages in long-term technical strategy parts, systematic technology management techniques and concrete idea creativity methodology. To complement these Six Sigma problems, Triz technique is considered. Triz focuses on solving such problems efficiently, effectively, and creatively. The purpose of this paper is to improve the temperature inspection method of a refrigerator through the DAGEV(Define-Analyze- Generate-Evaluate-Verify) cycle of Triz.

In today's competitive, market-driven world, a company's survival rests in its ability to provide quality performance products accompanied by total customer satisfaction. To satisfy the needs of customers, companies strive for defect free performances. This requires companies establish an integrated quality management system based on ISO 9000, ISO 14000, QS-9000, AS-9000, TL-9000, 100 PPM, and six sigma. This paper suggests that how to integrate implementation of quality certification systems and six sigma is an important approach in the continuous quality improvement, and six sigma efforts have become one of the key success approach. Through the various survey of total quality management system approach, it is intended to provide a chance to benchmark or give a cue on how to conduct the quality management innovation.
