【 摘 要 】

FaRSLeSS approach is integration between Lean and Six Sigma methods to reduce the failure rate in manufacturing production line. It represents 'Failure Rate Reduction and Sustainability through Lean and Six Sigma". Many manufacturing industries carry out corrective actions for their production line failure rate by using either lean or six sigma methods separately. This may prolong the failures or defects and sometimes even could not be solved effectively. FaRSLeSS approached was developed as guidance to manufacturing companies on the appropriate steps needs to be taken in order to solve the production line failure rate faster and effectively. Besides, this approach also suggests on how to sustain the performance once the failure rate was reduced to the ultimate target. During developing the FaRSLeSS approach, a case study was carried out at aircraft composite manufacturing industry (company A).
