  1. Who is Using Six Sigma in the Twin Cities • Seagate, Medtronic, Donalson, Honeywell, American Express, Ceridian, 3M

  2. What is Six Sigma? Six Sigma - The Initiative Process Systematic approachto reducing defects which affect what is important to the customer Tools Qualitative, statistical and instructionalDevicesfor “observing” process variables and their relationships as well as “managing” their character

  3. Six Sigma - Aggressive Goal  PPM Process Capability Defects per Million Opp. Sigma is a statistical unit of measure that reflects process capability. The sigma scale of measure is perfectly correlated to such characteristics as defects-per-unit, parts-per-million defective, and the probability of a failure/error.

  4. Six Sigma -- Practical Meaning 99% Good (3.8 Sigma) 99.99966% Good (6 Sigma) 20,000 lost articles of mail per hour Unsafe drinking water for almost 15 minutes each day 5,000 incorrect surgical operations per week Two short or long landings at most major airports each day 200,000 wrong drug prescriptions each year No electricity for almost seven hours each month Seven articles lost per hour One unsafe minute every seven months 1.7 incorrect operations per week One short or long landing every five years 68 wrong prescriptions per year One hour without electricity every 34 years

Organization sees improvementBUT loses the game. Six Sigma Enables Breakthrough Level Improvement!

  16. The Focus of Six Sigma KPIV(s) Y= f (X) KPOV(s) Focus on X rather than Y, as done historically Metrics KPOV = Key Process Output Variable KPIV = Key Process Input Variable Defect (Gap) Critical To The Customer *

  17. Six Sigma as a Problem Solving System 0. Define 1. Measure 2. Analyze 3. Improve 4. Control 5. Realize • Six Sigma employs the Breakthrough Strategy, which is a multi-step problem solving and process improvement methodology.

  18. Generates/Determines Define the Situation Problem Statement • CTQs • COPQ est. • Identify: • process inputs • process outputs Create with Team Process Map Define/Measure Determine: opportunities forimprovement Defect Rate per Step Rolled Throughput Yield with team . . . Root Causes Strong Links Cause and Effect FMEA Fishbone; other methods • Link KPIV & KPOV • prioritize inputs to attack Is Measurement good enough to detect process variation? (see improvement!) Check Gauges & Data Collection Devices & Procedures MSA Six Sigma Road Map -Define & Measure

  19. Six Sigma Road Map -Measure & Analyze Generates/Determines Gather Historical Data or Sample (Size & Subgroup) Indicators: Performance & Entitlement DPMO; Sigma Score Cp Pp Cpk Ppk Process Capability Study Measure Determine Cost of Quality Review Internal & External Costs Potential Benefits Analytical Tools Trends & Behaviors in KPIV/KPOV relationships Minitab Analyze Confidence Intervals Applies throughout
