 Six Sigma approach is a collection of

managerial and statistical concept and
techniques that focuses on reducing
variation in processes and preventing
deficiencies in product.
The Father Of Six Sigma
History of Six Sigma
 Six Sigma originated at Motorola in the early
1980s, in response to achieving 10X reduction in
product-failure levels in 5 years.
 Engineer Bill Smith invented Six Sigma, but died of
a heart attack in the Motorola cafeteria in 1993,
never knowing the scope of the craze and
controversy he had touched off
 Six Sigma is based on various quality management
theories (e.g. Deming's 14 point for management,
Juran's 10 steps on achieving quality).
Features of Six Sigma
 Six Sigma's aim is to eliminate waste and
inefficiency, thereby increasing customer satisfaction
by delivering what the customer is expecting
 Six Sigma follows a structured methodology, and
has defined roles for the participants
 Six Sigma is a data driven methodology, and
requires accurate data collection for the processes
being analyzed
 Six Sigma is about putting results on Financial
Statements.
The Characteristics of Six Sigma
 Statistical Quality Control
 Methodical Approach

 Fact and Data Based Approach

 Project and Objective Based Focus

 The Customer Focus

 Teamwork Approach to Quality Management

Key Concepts of Six Sigma
 Critical to Quality
 Defect
 Process Capability
 Variation
 Stable Operations
 Design for Six Sigma
Myths about Six Sigma
 Six Sigma is only concerned with reducing defects
 Six Sigma is a process for production or
engineering
 Six Sigma cannot be applied to engineering
activities
 Six Sigma uses difficult-to-understand statistics
 Six Sigma is just training
Six Sigma Objectives
 Overall Business Improvement
 Remedy Defects/Variability

 Reduce Costs

 Improve Cycle Time

 Increase Customer Satisfaction

Benefits of Six Sigma
 Sets a performance goal for everyone
 Generates sustained success
 Enhances value to customers
 Accelerates the rate of improvement
 Promotes learning and cross-pollination
 Executes strategic change
Levels of Six Sigma
Learning Curve
Methodologies
 Six Sigma projects follow two project
methodologies
 DMAIC

 DMADV
1. DMAIC

DMAIC is used for projects aimed at

improving an existing business process.

2. DMADV

DMADV is used for projects aimed at creating

new product or process designs.

methodology has Five phases:

5.
Control
1.Define

Define the system, the voice of the customer and

their requirements, and the project goals,
specifically.

2.Measure

Measure key aspects of the current process and

collect relevant data.
3.Analyze
Analyze the data to investigate and verify cause-and
effect relationships. Determine what the relationships
are, and attempt to ensure that all factors have been
considered. Seek out root cause of the defect under
investigation.

4.Improve

Improve or optimize the current process based

upon data analysis using techniques such
as design of experiments, poka yoke or mistake
proofing, and standard work to create a new,
future state process. Set up pilot runs to
establish process capability.
5.Control

Control the future state process to ensure that any

deviations from target are corrected before they
result in defects. Implement control systems such
as statistical process control, production boards, visual
workplaces, and continuously monitor the process.

1.Define :

Define design goals that are

consistent with customer demands and the enterprise
strategy.

2.Measure

Measure and identify CTQs

(characteristics that are Critical To Quality), product
capabilities, production process capability, and risks.
 3.Analyze

Analyze to develop and design

alternatives.

4. Design

Design an improved alternative,

best suited per analysis in the
previous step
5. Verify

Verify the
design, set up pilot runs, implement the
production process and hand it over to
the process owner(s).
REASONS TO GET A SIX SIGMA
CERTIFICATION
1. Help Your Organization Eliminate
Errors

 With a Six Sigma certification, you would be able to transform

and enable an organization to increase revenue by identifying
and eliminating errors that would otherwise have brought poor
customer satisfaction and losses to the business. Certified Six
Sigma professionals can help reduce invoicing errors, customer
complaints, complaint resolution time, spending, schedule
delays, and cost overruns.
In 1998, GE attributed their $350 million in savings to the Six
Sigma process, while Motorola attributed their highest savings of
$17 billion in 2005 to Six Sigma. GE’s savings rose to more than
$1 billion later that decade.
2. Improve Business Processes and
Sustain Quality Improvement
 Once you attain the Six Sigma certification, you’ll be able to
prove you have the knowledge to identify the characteristics of
an organization’s manufacturing and business processes and be
able to measure, analyze, control, and improve them. You will
also have the ability to conduct a complete review of current
practices and gain a very clear understanding of their impact
on quality performance.

 You’ll also develop the ability to achieve the level of sustained

quality improvement that organizations require—monitoring
processes closely to ensure there is little to no deviation from
the mean and taking corrective measures to reel in a project
that may be straying from the path.
3. Applicability Across Industries

 Getting a Six Sigma certification can lead to better job

opportunities and improved salary—even though it’s not easy
to attain. One of the reasons Six Sigma certified professionals
get so much respect is that the exams are not easy to pass—
and executives and hiring managers at major companies are
well aware.
4.Helps Nurture Managerial And
Leadership Ability
 Six Sigma training also prepares you for leadership roles, with
the techniques and knowhow to cut costs, increase revenue, and
ways to improve the efficiency of the business process. Those
who achieve Six Sigma Black Belt are not only educated on
the methodologies of Six Sigma, they are also prepared to
become a change agent within their organization, leading
efforts to improve processes and the quality of products and
services delivered to customers.
5. Excellent Salary
6. Gain Hands-On Experience In
Quality Management
 Unlike a few other certifications, the Six Sigma certification
process includes hands-on work on industry projects and
experience with implementation of theoretical principles to
real-life scenarios. As a certified Six Sigma professional, you
will gain valuable experience even before you enter the
workforce
