Abstract

This paper introduces a framework for using the Six Sigma DMAIC methodology to address a unique quality assurance problem in academic performance evaluation criteria to accredit university campus facilities. Academic performance of educational institutions is believed to be highly correlated to factors such as land and space allocation, facilities and laboratories' design specifications, and campus planning. The proposed framework applied to address the improvement on the highly variable/ uncontrollable length of time to finish a given case review process (cycle time) of an engineering report of a private university/college in the State of Kuwait. Academic assessment has been done in terms of stressing the advantages and shortcomings while implementing the DMAIC phases. A typical review cycle was the objective of the study that the research has successfully reduced with a significant percentage.
