Preco Electronics Integrates Six Sigma Methodologies
June 16, 2004 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Morton, Ill. — Preco Electronics has launched its plan to incorporate Six Sigma principles throughout the company.
Senior management recently attended a week-long program to understand more about integrating Six Sigma methodologies into Preco's existing lean philosophies. While existing lean initiatives have successfully eliminated waste and improved performance at the Morton facility for the past four years, Six Sigma provides tools to use process data in all areas of the business to reduce variation in execution and improve quality while reducing costs to the customer.
The unification of these philosophies will provide Preco Electronics with:
- An evolving framework to insure that customer critical requirements ("Voice of the Customer") are understood and operation focus is developed to address them.
- A comprehensive program to identify the root cause of issues and process inefficiencies and solve them permanently.
- A data-driven culture based on continuous improvement.
Preco Electronics was founded in 1947 in Boise, Idaho. In 1986, Preco established the division in Morton, Ill. to provide electronic manufacturing services, including electronics design, manufacturing and support services, to leading original equipment manufacturers.
