Abstract
This is an R&D project on design optimization of the inner shield of the Omega color picture tube at Samsung SDI in Korea. This was an R&D project which basically used the IDOV (Identify, Design, Optimize, Validate) process for Six Sigma implementation. Most Six Sgima projects use the process of DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control). However, this project introduces a new cycle, RDIDOV (Recognize, Define, and IDOV). Here CPT means Color Picture Tube. Sam sung SDI is one of the two companies which began Six Sigma in Korea. This case study shows a good example how an R&D Six Sigma project can be usefully employed in manufacturing companies using a new process cycle.
