Six Sigma Analysis of Sopura Silk Mills
Six Sigma Analysis of Sopura Silk Mills
Introduction
Sopura Silk Mills LTD.
• established in 1983 and produces various silk based products
• The main providers of silk worms are the local farmers and exported high quality
• The main defects in product occurs mainly when silk fibers are transformed into thaan.
• Does not currently apply six sigma
• The often used six sigma is a set of tools and strategies used for process improvements originally
developed by Motorola in 1985. (1)
• Six sigma improves quality by identifying and removing the causes of defects and minimizing variability.

Summary
Based on the previously mentioned findings, it can be concluded that Sopura Mills has a supply chain that lacks
efficiency in its production of thaan. Sigma level was found out to be 3 and sopura lacked any previous methods
of Six Sigma in its production. Some Literatures were reviewed to understand how Six sigma could be better
implemented. A proper Six sigma evaluation can help with the Company to get better profits.
