The government mandates that national research facilities & equipments through R&D business budget should be registered on the National Science and Technology Information Service (NTIS) for the purpose of the efficient use of the research facilities & equipments. This study is to contribute to the national policies on the efficient management of the research facilities & equipments by recognition methodology with the university’s members and analysis of the impact factors of the universities’ registration process improvement through the Define level and Measure level of the Six Sigma DAMIC. The survey and interview were conducted on research directors, professors joining university administration, graduate students, researchers, and staffs of A University. The findings are the lack of understanding specific steps and life-cycle management of research facilities & equipments. It is necessary to collect suggestions from universities and pursue policies considered the unique characteristics of the university for advanced operating and maximizing use of university’s national research facilities & equipments. Research facilities & equipments enrollment compliance rate and registration accuracy were selected as CTQ-Y through the Six Sigma. 72 potential cause variables were derived through Process Map and C & E Diagram. 13 variables were determined as core potential factors through the X-Y Matrix and Pareto Chart. Research institutions should maximize utilization of research facilities & equipments through deriving a potential variables of the process improvements and designing a detail improvements based on the characteristics of each institutions.
