Lean Path to Reduce the Cost of Silk Consumption of Ultra-fine Cigarettes— — a Multi-dimensional Study Based on Six Sigma

Abstract

In this paper, the optimization framework of Six Sigma method is proposed and applied to solve the problem of single cut tobacco consumption of ultra-fine cigarette in Z Company. VSM was used to sort out the production process comprehensively, and FMEA was used to identify the key factors affecting the consumption of single piece of cut tobacco, and the regression and analysis of variance (ANOVA) in Six Sigma was used to predict the optimization variables. Combined with the design of experiment (DOE), the optimization effect was verified, which significantly reduced the cost per piece of cut tobacco, and improved the production efficiency and resource utilization. This paper not only provides a theoretical basis for cost control in lean production, but also provides a practical guidance for Z company to enhance its competitiveness in the international market and sustainable development.
