SIX SIGMA METHODLOGY FOR SOLVING AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING PROBLEMS ABSTRACT All engineering problems are dependent on multiple design variables and the solutions for these needs to satisfy different responses. Compromises in deciding values for these design variables need to be made so that all the functional requirements are met with in the budgeted cost and time. To arrive at the values for these design variables, there is a need to understand the main and interaction effects of all these input parameters on the response variables and hence, necessitates conducting scores to hundreds of experiments. Performing these numbers of experiments may not be feasible every time given the budget and cost constraints. Methods like DoE based on statistical basis are found useful in such scenario where the effects of all the input parameters are modeled with a minimum number of experiments. Application of mathematical tools to engineering problems poses several challenges in arriving feasible...
