Taipei, Taiwan -- (SBWire) -- 12/06/2010 -- General electric' s leader supplier, Shihlin Electric, has successfully implemented Six Sigma to a large power distribution products' procurement project in order to meet their objectives. More than 10 years' cooperation with General electric has improved Shihlin Electric's versatility in supplying numerous series of circuit breakers and switchgear systems, and their innovative designs and systematic production processes are performed to achieve international standards such as CE, UL and CSA.
In 2005, General electric offered a large-scale co-operation project that involved millions of United states dollar purchasing budget, more than 3,000 components and 50 series of low-voltage circuit breakers and switchgear systems for the European market. It is a collaboration between 7 countries, including Taiwan, the U.S., Spain, India, China, Hungary and Poland. Among the seven countries, Taiwan Shihlin Electric acted as the design team, based on their Half a century of experience in cooperation with other teams, including General electric 's design team from India, management team from Spain and Hungary, manufacturing team from China and guidance team from the U.S..
The goal of Six Sigma is to provide the best customer services and products. While dealing with Ge, Shihlin Electric staff were trained for weeks to have an in-depth understanding of Six Sigma to ensure every process is measured, analyzed, controlled and improved. By utilizing six sigma in the whole process using statistical methods and creating a special infrastructure of people within the organization who are experts in these methods, power distribution system's great functionality is assured.
"Every cooperation with General electric is a learning experience! General electric 's six sigma requirement has not only enhanced Shihlin Electric's product quality, Shihlin Electric also engaged its process to other clients' procurements", Jerry Chen from Shihlin Electric & Engineering Corp., one of the most successful Taiwan power distribution products and solutions suppliers, claimed.
As General electric 's leading supplier, Shihlin Electric enjoys privileges compared to General electric 's other regular suppliers, while Shihlin Electric is required to strictly meet the international requirements in terms of circuit breaker and switchgear system quality, certification and deadlines. With General electric 's large procurement volume and irregular delivery schedule, Shihlin Electric's production capability and integration ability are superior. For years, Shihlin Electric was fabricating up to more than one million pieces of power distribution products per year, and the new project requires even more pieces' production capability and customizations on each product series. To achieve General electric' 's large purchasing project, Shihlin Electric integrates and evaluates each supporting supplier to ensure the supply chain is solid in order to deliver the best.
