Back Up Power Systems - Efficacy of Six Sigma in Backup Power Systems

Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Engineering - Industrial Engineering and Management, grade: A, , course: M.Tech., language: English, abstract: Importance of BPS can't be ignored particularly in developing countries but feeble effort was seen to improve its power generation cost. An imprecise and outdated frameworks used for bringing change in BPS sector are unable to increase its overall equipment efficiency. The much diversified methodology of Six Sigma has been implemented through a case study which further validates the methodology adopted to tackle the problem formulated, in book ahead. Results achieved during the case, highlights the economical production of backup power by optimizing concerned power-generation parameters of a Cummin's Diesel Genset through strategic application of Six Sigma's DMAIC approach. The book outlines the need for proper energy reform in backup power industry. The DMAIC approach of Six Sigma in BPS sector is too infrequent and next, motivates to reduce backup power cost and its associated expenditures, which are generally ignored.
