A. How many of you took a course in statistics?

B. Did you enjoy it?

C. Do you remember anything about the course?

D. Was it taught in an applied manner?

E. Did you do exercises to reinforce principles such as capability, correlation, regression, etc.?

What is this? PowerPoint Money

PowerPoint Money is

projected savings that

only exists in

presentation and cannot

be spent, saved or

utilized in any practical

manner Do Six Sigma Programs fail because they fail to

generate real savings or results. Are all the results

“stuck” in PowerPoint Slides?

Page 7: C3 Six Sigma Success Stories

Let’s Answer These Questions

1. Do you have problems that you are unable or are extremely difficult to solve?

2. Do you have problems that you solve over and over again without identifying and eliminating the root cause?

3. Do you have a problem solving methodology?

Page 8: C3 Six Sigma Success Stories

Six Sigma: the DMAIC Process

• Define: Establishes the business case for spending time, energy, and money towards solving a problem or improving a process. • Define the scope, severity, size of the problem (Y’s), the current performance

level, and target level after improvement.

• Includes: Who, What, When, Where, How Much, How Often for both the Current State and the Target State/Goals based on Customer Requirements.

• Measure: • Understand the process. Identify potential variables (X’s) that create the output

that is underperforming (Y’s).

• Document the current process using Process Maps, Value Stream Maps, FMEA (Failure Mode Effects Analysis)

• Hypothesize on root causes of problems- Fishbone Diagrams, XY Matrix, etc.

• Develop a plan to collect data

• Qualify measuring tools used to collect data.

• Collect data.

Page 9: C3 Six Sigma Success Stories

• Analyze:

• Study data to identify trends, patterns, variation, … root causes.

• Hypothesize solutions, test, and validate.

• Repeat as necessary.

• Improve: Plan, Pilot and execute changes including

updating documentation, training, equipment

modifications/acquisitions. Setup control monitoring.

• Control: Put systems in place to monitor the process to -

• Keep process in control.

• Identify when out of control.

• Sustain the gain.

Six Sigma Focus- include in Project Charter

• Faster

• Cycle Time

• Better

• Defects per unit (DPU)

• Rolled Throughput Yield (RTY)

• Cheaper

• Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ)

Not all projects will generate immediate

savings. There are requirements for

facilitating projects often focused on

measurement system analysis.

Project Charter Example:

6 High speed presses, located at __, running

__ parts, operated by 1 operator, 2 shifts per

day, are running at approx. 70% utilization and

65% efficiency. Each run requires 1 operator,

and each run requires 1 setup person. Target

is 90% Utilization and 85% efficiency. Poor

Utilization impact cost $500k in lost revenue

and $75k in Contribution Margin. Poor

Efficiency impact cost $1.3M in lost revenue

and $250k in Contribution Margin

Page 12: C3 Six Sigma Success Stories

Six Sigma Focus: Create Measurement

System, Move the Mean, Reduce Variability

• Six Sigma is a prescribed method that measures and characterizes

processes in order to make improvements

• Improvements can be in measuring the process- creating a

Measurement System via Measurement System Analysis.

• Moving the mean

• Reducing variation

Shift the Mean Reduce Variation

Center on Target with

Minimum Variation!

Page 13: C3 Six Sigma Success Stories

13

Six Sigma Variability: the Irony

• There are no national certifications for Six Sigma certification

• The American Society of Quality has recommended topics for

training levels such as Green Belt, Black Belt, etc. and

administers a test on the material

• A google search of Six Sigma Training generates 17,000,000 hits

• A google search of Six Sigma Certifications generates 28,000,00

hits

Do Six Sigma Programs fail because

training programs are focused on certifying

participants or counting the number of

certified belts versus applying to tools to

solve a business problem?

Page 14: C3 Six Sigma Success Stories

Six Sigma & Quality Engineering History

• 1920’s Walter Shewhart of Bell Labs pioneers the use of statistics to analyze product and process performance

• 1940-1993 W. Edwards Deming and Joseph Juran, students of Shewhart, establish the principles of TQM and teach these concepts to companies around the world, initially in the US, later in Japan and the rest of the world

• 1986 emergence of Six Sigma as an improvement model at Motorola

• 1988 Motorola wins Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award

• 1990 Motorola, IBM, TI, Xerox, etc. adopt a Six Sigma model

• 1995 forward AlliedSignal, GE, Coca-Cola, FedEx, etc. popularize the approach as a management method

• 1997 forward Six Sigma spans all industries and sectors:

• Manufacturing, Service, Healthcare, Hospitality, Banking, Education

• Other retail firms implementing Six Sigma include:

• Federated Department Stores, Target, Gap, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Sears, etc.

WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT TAKE FOR SUCCESS

– Critical processes within an organization

– Significant inputs to the organization

– Delivery of product and service based on customer and

stakeholder requirements

• A business philosophy which demands a corporate

commitment to relentlessly and continuously meet, or

exceed customer requirements and improve profitably

• A strategic senior-management driven initiative, requiring

organizational change, that is adopted by companies

seeking “competitive advantage” in the global marketplace

• A rigorous application of the scientific method designed to

partner quantitative methods and the knowledge of

people, in order to assess and improve:

If you want to fail- ignore or don’t use Data to

Solve the Problem

"In God we trust, all others bring data.“

W. Edwards Deming

Which operator do you want running your

machines: Shift 1 or Shift 2?

Six Sigma Implementation Model • Six Sigma places the emphasis on process

▫ By using structured team-based, data-driven processes, senior

management drive root cause problem solving methodology can

resolve business problems where they originate

▫ Problems are addressed at the root-cause level using a scientific

method for problem solving

• Summary of Attributes of a Successful Six Sigma Program

• Senior Management Drive/Support and Company Initiative

• Data Driven Problem Solving (using the new language of quality

and process performance)

• Regular Project Reviews

• Rigorous Training and Application of Tools

• Mentoring Throughout the Training and Project Support

• Implement “Quick Hits” Where Possible

• Team Based

• Rigorous Involvement of Project Champion

• Communication and Involvement of Stakeholders

Page 20: C3 Six Sigma Success Stories

“94% of failures are due to the system,

6% are due to the worker.”

“The factory offers 3% of the opportunity

for company improvement,

the rest of the business- 97%.”

Dr. W. Edwards Deming taught that by adopting

appropriate principles of management,

organizations can increase quality and

simultaneously reduce costs by reducing waste and

rework while increasing customer loyalty. The key is

to practice continual improvement and think of

manufacturing as a system, not as bits and pieces.

Belts- Full-time versus Part-time

Originally most Six Sigma deployments where

initiated with full-time Black Belts

Most current deployments are done with part-time

Green and Black Belts. The key to success-

project selection

Page 26: C3 Six Sigma Success Stories

What Is Green Belt Training?

Classroom training and “real world” application of tools: Learn and apply DMAIC tools Utilize classroom exercises to demonstrate the application of tools

Demonstrate tool application to training project: Deliver a financially measurable and significant business impact through

the application of the tools and principles Show ability to use tools beyond the training environment

Submit a final report which documents tool understanding and application in addition to process changes and financial impact

To ensure optimal knowledge transfer: In addition to classroom training, provide approximately 4 on-site support

sessions lasting approximately 2 hours between each session and for several months following the completion of the GB training depending on candidate progress

Access via telephone or e-mail to answer questions

A course on the use of a process-focus to manage the business

through the Six Sigma problem-solving approach of Define,

Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC)
