摘要：

Scrap aluminum is processed into a finished product utilizing various thermal processes. Six Sigma methodology and statistical tools can be used effectively within thermal processing to improve energy efficiency and increase productivity. Aleris International is a leading aluminum recycler and manufacturer of rolled aluminum products and has implemented the Six Sigma approach to improve processes throughout the corporation. Six Sigma utilizes a team approach to process improvements led by a trained leader with a statistical background. The most common Six Sigma process includes five phases: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. Examples of each phase will be described and discussed using examples from Aleris International.
