Sigma Parts per million 6 sigma 3.4 defects per million 5 sigma 233 defects per million 4 sigma 6,210 defects per million 3 sigma 66, 807 defects per million 2 sigma 308, 537 defects per million 1 sigma 690,000 defects per million
Six Sigma Project Selection • The project is linked to business priorities • The problem is of major importance to the organization • The project has a reasonable scope (3-6 months) • The project defines clear quantitative measures of success • The projects’ importance is clear to the organization • The project has the support and approval of management
A Project is Defined as…. “A temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service” PMBOK Initiate Plan Execute Control Close Project Management Phases
Work Break down structure Phases (DMAIC) Milestones Durations (variation) UCL/LCL Voice of the customer Project scope Cause and effect prioritization CTQ’s Identify process SIPOC Define MSP 6 Sigma
Plan for collecting data Validate measures Sample size Preliminary measures to provide direction Baseline measure of current performance Key process input variables Pareto, Histogram, Run charts Baseline Sigma level Measure 6 Sigma
Timing Resource Time & Material Cost Variation to Plan Earned Value (BCWP/ACWP) Graphical Analysis Baseline(s) Critical Path Items Baseline/Deadlines Spec Limits Cycle time PERT (Performance Evaluation & Review Techniques) Measure MSP
Variation Baseline variations Milestone variation Task Errors/Variation Cycle time Hour/Week/Month Number of Defects (tasks) Analyze MSP
Analyze 6 Sigma • All things statistical • Test hypothesis • Look at variation and variables
DMAIC Process 1st Round Define Measure Analyze Improve Control 2nd Round
Improve 6 Sigma • Brainstorm • NGP • Cost/Benefit • Pilot • Implement Plan Changes (revise) • “Should Be” Plan
Views with UCL/LCL by Task Audits Baseline tracking Milestone tracking Control plan as part of the project Mistake proofing Control chart Update SOP Reaction Plan Corrective action Performance measures Control 6 Sigma MSP
Features • Consolidated master project • Resource management (BB allocation) • Cost management • Reporting • Export to Excel, others • Imbedded and Hyperlinked Documents
