1/Six Sigma Overview

Key themes in Six Sigma

Identifying the root causes of problems

Emphasis on process improvement to remove variation and therefore lower defects and improve customer satisfaction

Using measurements and statistics to identify and measure variation

Pro-active management focusing on problem prevention

Focus on the customer’s requirements

Cross-functional collaboration

Setting very high targets.

Process Improvement

Only when the cause of the variation has been identified,
can the process be improved so that the variation doesn’t
recur in the future.

Six Sigma aims for processes to be improved so that problems don’t recur instead of just finding short term solutions to the problems

Measurements and Statistics

To improve results, a company needs to
identify ways to measure variation in
business processes, generate statistics

based on those measurements and then
use those statistics to ask questions about
the sources of quality problems
relating to
its products, services, and processes.

Benefits

Reduced production costs

eliminate wastage

reduce the cost

lowering defect rates

sell its products

Reduced overhead costs

reduce the amount of time that senior
management and middle management

frees up management

Improved Customer Satisfaction

lowering defect rates

ship products to customers

Reduced Cycle Times

On-Time-Delivery

Greater ease of expansion

Positive Changes to Corporate Culture

the company’s corporate culture shifts to one

contribute to the overall sense of pride of the company’s employees.

1 DMAIC-DEFINE

Focus on critical issues which are aligned
with the company’s business strategy and
the customer’s requirements.

Most applicable tools

Identify the problem, the requirements of the project and the objectives of the
project.

Define customer requirements as they relate to this project. Explicit customer requirements are called Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) characteristics

Develop defect definitions

Perform a baseline study

Create a team charter and Champion

Estimate the financial impact of the problem

Obtain senior management approval of the project

2 DMAIC – Measurement : ✅

Tools used

4 DMAIC-Improve ✅

Identify ways to remove causes of variation

Tools used

Verify critical Inputs

Developing ideas to remove root causes
of variation, testing and standardizing
those solutions.

Discover relationships between variables

performance and to correct problems as
needed

Six Sigma is a statistically-based process
improvement methodology that aims to
reduce defects to a rate of 3.4 defects per
million defect opportunities
by identifying
and eliminating causes of variation in
business processes.

It is a methodology for improving product quality
by reducing defects based on process
improvement.
