Integration of Six Sigma and Digitization for Quality Enhancement in Construction
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The construction industry is characterized by its complex processes, high variability, and demand for consistent quality, particularly in high-rise projects. Despite advancements, recurring issues such as defects, delays, and inefficiencies persist. This paper explores the integration of Six Sigma methodologies with digital tools to develop a robust framework for improving the quality of the concrete pouring process in high-rise construction.Focusing on the DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) methodology, the research identifies construction activities suitable for Six Sigma application, evaluates digital tools for compatibility, and proposes an optimized framework. It investigates tools like SIPOC, Pareto charts, Fishbone diagrams, Kaizen, and Control Plans, emphasizing their digitized application to enhance process efficiency and decision-making.
