Abstract
The existing supplier selection process of an XYZ company will be defined and mapped to understand the process characteristics and capabilities and then it will be analyzed to identify non-value-added activities. Corrective actions will be recommended to improve the supplier selection process for the company using DMAIC technique. It will aid in developing a competitive supplier base out of bulk suppliers available in the market that will result in competitive advantage over its peers and achieving the quality, cost, and service enrichment goals.

Model-Based Analysis and Engineering of Automotive Architectures with EAST-ADL
Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is an inductive reasoning (forward logic) single point of failure analysis and is a core task in reliability engineering, safety engineering and quality engineering. A successful FMEA activity helps to identify potential failure modes based on experience with similar products and processes. FMEAs can be performed at the system, subsystem, assembly, subassembly or part level.

Improving Dependability of Robotics Systems
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is commonly known (and often used) as a bottom-up analysis technique. It proceeds by analyzing the system components individually, or sometimes collectively, to inductively derive the consequences of their failures on the system. FMEA aims at addressing those effects and the technique is widely practiced in reliability engineering in high-hazard industries.

Improving Dependability of Robotics Systems: Analysis of Sequence-Dependent Failures
Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is commonly known (and often used) as a bottom-up analysis technique. It proceeds by analyzing the system components individually, or sometimes collectively, to inductively derive the consequences of their failures on the system. FMEA aims at addressing those effects and the technique is widely practiced in reliability engineering in high-hazard industries.
