This paper demonstrates the effective application of the Six Sigma DMAIC methodology in a small-scale plastic manufacturing industry to address defects, resolve customer complaints, and enhance overall product quality. Focusing on twocritical plastic components and their assembly, the implementation led to a substantial drop in rejection rates, improved process stability, and a transition from problemsolving to efficient serial production. The methodology incorporated tailored tools and techniques specifically relevant to the plastic injection industry, aiming to reduce defect rates and address root causes of customer complaints, ultimately reducing the risk of losing customers. Key interventions included redesigning components and optimizing the assembly process. Notably, this improvement increased the Sigma level of Component A from 3.4 to 4.36, Component B from 3.56 to 4.46, and the assembly process from 3.36 to 4.27. Economic impacts included a decrease in rejection costs as a percentage of sales by 47.3%, a rework cost reduction of 78.25%, and a total loss reduction of 67.39%. Theinitiative successfully addressed customer complaints, enhanced assembly line efficiency, and maintained competitive pricing with improved quality. Through Six Sigma DMAIC, the company achieved continuous improvement, leading to a notable decrease in customer complaints and enhanced product reliability.
