This thesis was carried out at the Cage Factory in Gothenburg, a smaller unit within SKF Sverige AB with 124 employees. The factory manufactures the cage component in the bearing, which will keep the rollers in place in the complete bearing. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and make comparisons between Six Sigma and the existing way of working with improvements and the organization in the Cage Factory and to give recommendations on what actions are needed to efficiently implement Six Sigma. To aid in the fulfillment of the purpose a practical DMAIC (Define- Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) project was conducted. The project aims to reduce customer complaints and downtime caused by the turning activity in one of the production channels at the Cage Factory. Furthermore, several interviews with strategically selected individuals were conducted. The authors argue that Six Sigma could be .
