What is Six Sigma?
vA structured, methodical approach to process /product improvement and design robustness
v
vAll decisions are based on facts and datav
vA powerful “Tool Box” is used to identify andeliminate waste through the reduction of underlying process variability
v
v It is applicable in both Manufacturing andTransactional (Business) processes
v
v It is implemented through highly trained,motivated individuals called “Black Belts”and “Green Belts” from all functions

Six Elements of Six Sigma
1.Genuine focus on the customer
•The Voice of the Customer (VOC) is thefoundation of the methodology
2.Data- and fact-driven management •Use data to prove that solutions work and
gains are sustained
3.Process focus•Improving processes ensures competitive
advantage – delivering real value tocustomers
From The Six Sigma Way, by Pande, et al

4.Proactive management
•Set/track goals, establish priorities, reward fire prevention
6.Boundaryless collaboration•Customer-centric; processes transcend
departmental silos
8.Drive for perfection, tolerate failure•New ideas/approaches involve risk; overcome
fear of mistakes

Sigma or the Standard Deviation of the process distribution allows us todetermine and communicate the capability of the process.
The “Sigma Level” of a an in-control process is simply the number of standard deviationsof the process distribution that consume 1/2 the allowed tolerance band if the process were
centered around the target value.

The overall goal of the Six Sigma Initiative
is to significantly improve customer
perceived value and company’s profitability.
Projects that fit that criteria are legitimate
projects. ØSix Sigma projects should be linked to the
highest levels of strategy and be in direct
support of specific WW business and core
process objectives.
Ø
ØSix Sigma projects should be definable and
manageable in scope with high probability of
completion in four to six months, or less.
Ø
ØA Six Sigma project should of fer a significant
opportunity for reduction in Cost of Poor Quality
(COPQ), in addition to improving such things as

• There are five phases of Six Sigmamethodology:
•
1. Define (D)

4. Improve (I)
5. Control (C)
Together it is called DMAIC

What Is a Six Sigma Model?
• Taken together, they are referred to as the DMAICprocess of quality improvement.• The Six-Sigma methodology is based on simple
yet powerful model,
y=f(x)y=f(x)•
• where y represents the key process outputs• x represents key process inputs that strongly
effect the output
• function, “f” represents the relationship betweenthe inputs and outputs.

•Example: Effective Problem Statement•Our company’s procedure for shipping replacement parts
takes ten days longer on average than our major
competitors take.•
•This statement is:•Specific: It names a particular process and states the
problem.
•Observable: Evidence of the problem can be obtained frominternal reports and customer feedback.
•Measurable: Shipping time is measured in days.
•Manageable: The problem is limited to one type of shippingprocedure.

Define COPQ
• COPQ are the costs that would disappear if everytask was always performed without deficiency (Source: Juran Institute Inc.)
•
• COPQ are the cost of failures including costs of
insuring quality in manufacturing, delivering,and servicing of the products.
•
• The three major COPQ categories:• Appraisal / Inspection Cost
• Internal Failure Costs• External Failure Costs

• Measure and record the output (i.e; frequency or days)
• Present the data (graphically) and analyze the output (Why isthere so much variation?)

PRECISION
•PRECISION is the ability to replicate measurements time
after time. LACK OF PRECISION implies VARIABILITY.
•All measurement systems should be repeatable, bothwithin and between evaluators.
8/8/2019 Six Sigma Overview[1]
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/six-sigma-overview1 39/62

STABILITY
• All instruments need to be periodically re-calibrated because ACCURACYDETERIORATES over time.
• A lack of stability implies a “creeping bias” over time. Need to run a standard on a regular basis
to ensure there is no degradation or bias in themeasurements.

either prevents a mistake from occurringor makes a mistake obvious at a glance
•
•‘Mistake-Proofing’ is the Anglicantranslation of this principle

Poka-yoke Device Categories
• Prevention• Engineer the process or product so that it is
impossible to make the mistake in the first place.
• 3 1/2” floppy disk example.
• Prevention devices eliminate the need to detect or correct a mistake
• Detection• A detection device cues the operator when a
mistake has been made. This enables a quick fix.
• Your car has some of these: door ajar, beeps when
key in ignition and door open, seat belt notfastened.
• Clutch in, or in park before it will start are examplesof prevention devices.
