Abstract: Six sigma tools and techniques have been implemented by the various business organizations. Now a day’s manufacturing sector is also widely accepting as a high performance strategy tool for the continuous process improvement. Process improvement is nothing but an understanding between current process and new process that improves the quality of product, efficiency of process and reduce the defects. This methodology can be applied to find out critical causes of the process variation. This paper presents the different types of defect like dowel pin shift, variation in bore size of cylinder head is reduced by using six sigma DMAIC and FTA. The data for defects is collected and experimentation has been done by using six sigma and fault tree analysis which results in process improvement and reduction of defect of cylinder head.
