Abstract

This study determines critical factors for aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul companies during the initial incorporation stage of Six Sigma programs. This is achieved by examining 14 key success factors. Employees of an Asian maintenance, repair, and overhaul company are surveyed. Factor analysis is used to identify five key factors that are pertinent to successful completion of Green Belt improvement projects.
