What is Six Sigma?
Six Sigma statistically implies a process with only 3.4 defects per million
But it is beyond just statistics …….
Six Sigma is a management philosophy and problem-solving method focussing on
a) increasing customer satisfaction
b) improvements supported by data

How is Six Sigma useful?What can Six Sigma do for your organization?

Approach of Six SigmaWhat is the approach of “Six Sigma” anyway?
Six sigma adopts a two-pronged approach towards process improvement
1. To accurately meet customer needs.
2. To reduce variation in a process

What is ‘Sigma’ in Six Sigma
What is the Sigma of “Six Sigma” anyway?
Sigma
Is the symbol for a statistical measure of variation in a processcalled the standard deviation.
When one knows the average ( X) and standard deviation (σ) of a process, one can describe that process quantitatively.

What is ‘Six’ in Six Sigma
What is the six in “Six Sigma” anyway?
This six in six sigma implies that there are six standard deviations (also called sigma) between the average of the process and the allowed service level limits by customer.
This translates in simple terms to less than 3.4 defects in a million.

MANAGEMENT“Eighty-five percent of the reasons or failure to meet customer expectations are related to deficiencies in systems and process… rather than the employee. The role of management is to change the process rather than badgering individuals to do better.”
- W. Edwards Deming
What experts said that supports Six Sigma
“If we can’t express what we know in the form of numbers, we really don’t know much about it. If we don’t know much about it, we can’t control it. If we can’t control it, we are at the mercy of chance.”
-Mikel J. Harry
“ Six Sigma will bring GE to a whole new level of quality in a fraction of the time it would have taken to climb the learning curve on our own.”
-Jack Welch

Success figures of leading six sigma organisations
Motorola, which saved $2.2 billion in a four-year time frame as a result of applying Six Sigma to improve the quality of many products.
Asea Brown Boveri, which achieved a 68 percent reduction in defect levels and a 30 percent reduction in product costs - resulting in an $898 million savings each year for two years.
AlliedSignal, which achieved record operating margins and a savings of more than $2 billion in direct costs.
General Electric, which generated $2 billion in financial benefit by year-end 1999 -five years after it initiated Six Sigma. While no numbers have been published by GE since 1999, former CEO Jack Welch once estimated $5 billion in savings due to Six Sigma for year-end 2000.

Lean & Six Sigma Work Together
Process varies too much Too much rework Poor quality Process not in control Unexplainable shifts Ineffective inspection
Poor delivery Long customer lead
times Capacity problems Too much downtime
Long internal lead times Changeover time too long Inventories too high Frequent bottlenecks Process doesn’t add value
Reduce Unwanted Variation Improve Process Flow
Many Issues Require Both Approaches

What is DMAIC approach of six sigma?
DMAIC stands for the different phases in six sigma.
DEFINE the problem of the customer (who could be internal/external)
MEASURE the current performance of the process
ANALYZE and determine the root causes of the defects
IMPROVE the process to eliminate the defects
CONTROL the performance of the improved process.
DMAIC approach of six sigma is used when there is an existing process with problems and needs improvement.
