| dc.description.abstract | This paper is about implementing Lean Six Sigma in a case study in the electronic
industry to find out the problem that created a high total cost in recent years. Through
DMAIC tools such as SIPOC, Fishbone Diagram, Pareto chart, and 5 Whys analysis, the
real and specific conditions of a manufacturing process in the electronic industry can be
represented. After that, this paper's main purpose is to minimize the total cost including
labor, transportation, inventory, and ordering costs by using direct shipment. From then
operation managers can easily modify the parameters and continue to use the MILP (Mixed
Integer Linear Program) to solve the problem. By using the CPLEX, the MILP for a
decision-making problem involving labor, inventory, and transportation will be solved
optimally. According to the computational experiment, implementing direct shipment
results in an average cost saving of 5% and a 14% decrease in the number of trucks used. | en_US |
