Six Sigma Process

 

A Six Sigma Process is one where the process average is at least 'Six Sigma' away from the nearest customer specification limit (where one Sigma is the standard deviation of the process variation, a measure of process spread). The Six Sigma Process uses data and rigorous statistical analysis to identify "defects" in a process or product, reduce variability, and achieve as close to zero defects as possible.

 

The Six Sigma Process involves identifying a problem…analyzing its causes…developing a solution…implementing that solution by making it a part of your standard procedure…and then measuring the results. A key element of the Six Sigma Process is establishment of causal relationships and capitalizing on our understanding of these relationships to achieve statistical control.

 

The real payoff of Six Sigma Process improvement strategies is in keeping processes on track to profitability. Students will use the tools of Six Sigma Process Control including Flow Charts, Histograms, Pareto Charts, Critical to Quality Trees, Cause and Effect Diagrams, Design of Experiments, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis and Control Charts.

 

Implementing a Six Sigma Process in your business will entail the use of new phrases to describe the people involved in the six sigma process, the names are:

 

·         MASTER BLACK BELT/CHAMPION - The highest trained individuals in the business and Six Sigma Process. The master black belts will be the people in your business who influence quality control at the highest board room level.

·         BLACK BELT - Highly trained individuals who lead others namely the 'Green Belts'. Black belts will require tem leadership and project management skills. These individuals could be anyone in the business prepared to lead the improvement teams. In America there are a lot of consultancy firms which have special training sessions to train individuals on the fundamentals of the Six Sigma Process (define, measures, analyze, etc). There can be some complex equations that may have to be learnt. Generally speaking the black belts would be engineers within the business.

·         GREEN BELTS - These in essence will be the employees in the team which go out and observe the processes which require changing and collate the data.

 

The Six Sigma Process is a great step toward creating learning organizations with its well-defined roadmaps and management structure. The DMAIC Six Sigma Process (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) is an improvement system for existing Six Sigma Process falling below specification and looking for incremental improvement. The DMADV Six Sigma Process (define, measure, analyze, design, verify) is an improvement system used to develop new processes or products at Six Sigma quality levels. It can also be employed if a current process requires more than just incremental improvement. Both Six Sigma processes are executed by Six Sigma Green Belts and Six Sigma Black Belts, and are overseen by Six Sigma Master Black Belts.

 

The heart of the Six Sigma Process involves the training of so-called Black Belts, the men and women who lead the teams to improve specific processes. The goal of the Six Sigma Process is to make only 3.4 "mistakes" per every million activities-or to get it right 99.99966% of the time. A Six Sigma Process generates a maximum defect probability of 3.4 parts per million (PPM), when properly controlled. The overall goal of the Six Sigma Process is to reduce costs, reduce and control process variability and drive process and transportation excellence.
