At a chemical plant in Europe, Honeywell was losing profits at approximately $900,000 per year. The problems appeared related to a need to simplify the process flow.The problem studied and a new process implemented.

This led to a reduction of cycle time from 12 to 10 days plus a significant reduction in product travel distance from 300 to 14 Kilometers. Through these changes, the loss was reversed into a profit of $3.4 Million per year.

During economic downturns, chip manufacturers must walk a fine line between balancing costs and providing high quality product. In this industry, sophisticated processes use specialty gases and chemicals to fabricate semiconductor devices that must be consistently pure to avoid costly yield failures. BOC Edwards, a supplier of these gases, wanted to decrease costs while still maintaining high quality product.

They assembled a Six Sigma team to deal with this issue on one of the gases they produce. The results led to a dramatic reduction in the costs due to defects, and at the same time delivered improved gas by reducing the amount of impurity in the final product by 15.5%.

Warren/Amplex Superabrasives had a problem at one of its Asian customers—a high capacity manufacturer of data storage disks. Their customer reported a problem in the polycrystalline diamond (PCD) slurry they were being supplied was clogging the filtering processes. To compound the problem, a film of unknown origin was appearing after the clean-up step from texturing.

Their customer had no time to send back any samples. They had three days’ worth of texturing slurry left, before the product line would have to shutdown.

After working with the customer and another division at Warren, they trace the problem to bacteria in the slurry and found that they could quickly resolve the problem by pasteurizing the slurry.

In less than three days, they ID identified the problem, found a solution, produced a 400-bottle order of new pasteurized polycrystalline diamond slurry, and shipped it overseas and where it was received in time to keep their customer running
