Abstract— The paper deals with setting up the new process in the handset manufacturing company based on the Six-sigma approach with some innovative extensions. The demonstration of the new process design shows the practical application of Six-sigma with some expansions. The key idea of Six-sigma expansion is the variations of Six-sigma application applied for the new process design and allows that other practical tools are adapted as Six-sigma tools. The proposed Six-sigma expansion framework is targeted to give the general guidelines of varieties of Six-sigma applications.

Index Terms— Process design, requirement process, six-sigma expansion, framework design, design for six-sigma.
