Foundation of Lean 6 Sigma
-Dr. Mikel Harry
Motorola
If you cannot express what you know in numbers,
you don’t know much about it;
If you don’t know much about it,
then you can’t control it;
If you can’t control it,
you are at the mercy of chance.

Foundation of Lean 6 Sigma
Definitions of Insanity:
Doing the same thing over and over
and expecting a different outcome!
AND
Using the same logic to get out of the
trouble that got you there in the first

Why Lean Six Sigma?
• It Works
• Proven Track Record
• It is needed
• DepSecDef has mandated that all of DoD begin
practicing some form of Continuous Process
Improvement (CPI)
• Many different methods of CPI available, but none
have a more balanced approach than Lean Six
Sigma

Lean breaks a process down to understand the
steps and actions as they occur, the time and
resources needed to complete, as well as the delay
and wait time between process steps

Even at 99% quality (equivalent to a sigma level of 3.8),
there would be:
• Unsafe drinking water almost 10 hours each month
• At least 200,000 wrong drug prescriptions per
year
• Two short or long landings at O’Hare
airport each day
• Over 90,000 wrong felony convictions per
year
• 20,000 lost or incorrectly delivered articles
of mail per hour

Fundamental Principle of LSS
We know we must change Xs to create a change in Y…
 But how do we know which Xs to change
and how to change them?
y = f (x1, x2, …)
process output is
key process and input factors
that cause variation in the output

purpose
of Six
Sigma!

Who is the Customer?
• What is the mission of your organization?
• Who is the customer for your organization?

Are they internal, external, or both

Military, civilian, political, taxpayers?
• Do you know when you are succeeding or
failing your mission?
• Are your customers satisfied with your
organization’s performance?

Determining Customer Expectations
• How are expectations
communicated?
• Are the mission objectives
measurable?
• Are customer expectations
clearly understood
throughout the entire
organization?
• Have specifications been
confirmed?

Performing to Expectations
• The specification limits
represent the parameters of
performance desired by the
customer.
• The Upper Spec Limit (USL)
& Lower Spec Limit (LSL)
represent the level of
tolerance around this
desired target.
• Together, they represent
what the customer wants!
Not what the process does.

• Poor Project Selection

Projects are too large in scope

Projects are insignificant in value
• Allowing projects to drift from connection to Mission Strategy
• Undertaking more than staffed to handle
• Little or no sharing of results and best practices
• Forgetting about the people not directly involved in the deployment
• Forgetting human nature

People are resistant to change and …”What’s in it for Me?”

Not changing the culture of the organization
• Inadequate tracking and reporting of Key Process Indicators (KPIs) at the
senior leadership level

Editor's Notes

  1. <number> Office of the Secretary of Defense Lean Six Sigma Overview Mr. Wayne Leathers Master Black Belt DoD Lean Six Sigma Program Office Office of the Deputy Chief Management Officer
  2. <number> Agenda What is Lean Six Sigma? DMAIC Overview Continuous Process Improvement Selecting The Right Projects
  3. <number> Much of what we do day to day is naturally expressed in some type of numerical format, vis-à-vis How long it takes you to get to work The expected temperature for the day Stock Market Report Think about how hard it would be to have a discussion, or buying and selling stock, if the only data you are being provided is that it is up or down
  4. <number> We are often asked “What are the consequences of doing nothing?”; the answer is simple - tomorrow will look just like today, and the problems and issues of yesterday will be there for us to deal with again tomorrow. There are assumptions that are safe to make about process issues. If the problem has been around awhile, it is safe to assume that it is complex. If it were easy to solve, someone would have done it already. Therefore a different approach is needed. Also, bringing back “Subject matter experts” of the past, at best can only take you and your process back into the past. The longer the “expert” has been away from the process, the more distant their experience and the farther back they will take your process
  5. <number> There is no denying that LSS has been very successful in the private sector over the past 20 years. Hundred of billions of dollars and man hour equivalents have been reinvested. To say that it can’t work in government can only be an indictment of our inability to lead change. The DepSecDef has worked in companies where CPI/LSS has been successful. He knows it works and can improve processes and transform an organization.
  6. <number> Processes are rarely as simplistic as we believe they are. We generally only have visibility of the process around us, and rarely know how many steps were ahead of us or are behind us. We also rarely understand what kind of impact we have on down range process steps.
  7. <number> One of the concepts of process management and six sigma is a process focus—understanding the organization as levels of processes. A process is a group of tasks that are directed at accomplishing some particular outcomes. Processes often cut across many business functions. Examples are the steps in producing a product, hiring a new employee, or filling an order. There are thousands of processes in organizations. These processes can be structured as levels of processes as shown in the graphic above. In this course, the highest level is referred to as Level 1. Each Level 1 process (A through E) can be broken down further into steps indicated by Level 2 and so on. The concept of viewing work as a process and process levels will be explained in more detail in subsequent sections.
  8. <number> In 6 Sigma, the focus of attention is towards making processes perform consistently to customer expectations. If a process is consistently on target, with little variation, the process will have little waste of valuable resources resulting in lower costs to produce. Variation = waste of resources.
  9. <number> Improvements, while not easy to come by, do have dramatic effects on performance.
  10. <number> While on the surface process performance at 6 sigma may seem either unnecessary or a bridge too far, there are many businesses and services today that consistently perform above 6 sigma Even at 99% quality (equivalent to a sigma level of 3.8), there would be: At least 200,000 wrong drug prescriptions per year Unsafe drinking water almost 10 hours each month Two short or long landings at O’Hare airport each day Over 90,000 wrong felony convictions per year 20,000 lost or incorrectly delivered articles of mail per hour
  11. <number> 90% of US businesses are service related. Yet Six-sigma was originally developed for the manufacturing industry – DuPont, Dow, etc. are leading the way for the chemical industry. GE was very successful in extending Six-Sigma methodology to transactional applications (i.e. G.E. Capital). Since 2003, the majority of businesses using LSS are now service related and are experiencing dramatic results in operational performance.
  12. <number> There are often trade-offs that can occur. In the Airline industry, flight safety is critical, and requires above 6sigma performance. The same level of resources are not applied to on time take-offs and arrivals along with baggage handling as flight safety. Source: Some of this data comes from government reports. Other data points are referenced in Mikel Harry, The Vision of Six Sigma: A Roadmap for Breakthrough (Phoenix, AZ: Sigma Publishing Company, 1994).
  13. <number> The DMAIC process has been successful because it relates the problem in practical terms, uses data to characterize and understand process performance as it relates to mission and customer desire, then translates the solution back into practical terms.
  14. <number> If we have a desire to improve how our organizations and processes perform, we must take a different approach to that change.
  15. <number>
  16. <number> How can we expect to meet mission and customer expectations for performance if we do not understand the various ways that external factors influence our processes?
  17. <number> Our organizations have customers and a mission. Knowing who the internal or external customers are and specifically what they desire is critical. In addition, we must be able to convert those needs into measurable targets and acceptable and unacceptable levels of performance.
  18. <number>
  19. <number> When all else fails, ask. Push for measurable expectations, otherwise you will be in an indefensible position if it is said that you failed to meet objectives.
  20. <number> Specifications give us the standard to go by. Whereas the performance measures tell us what the process does, specifications tell us what it is supposed to do, or what the customer demands.
  21. <number> Each organization is responsible for determining what the benefits are, and how they can be measured. There are many ways to do this; the key however, is that the project results must be measurable. If they are not, it is impossible to know what the performance was, and what it is now. These projects are a good news success story. Make sure you can point to them with pride and feel comfortable that you can defend results, if needed. Not everyone wants to see things change.
  22. <number> LSS is a skills and knowledge based investment approach. Green Belts have the skills and knowledge needed to take on mini-DMAIC projects. The best fit project is one where the sponsor has decision rights over the process. Black Belts have skills and knowledge needed to take on full DMAIC projects. These projects are typically more complex and may span across more than one area of responsibility where gaining agreement is more difficult to achieve. The Master Black Belt can work enterprise wide projects, work with leadership to scope projects, build improvement plans, train Green Belts and Black Belts, and lead LSS Deployment efforts. The Champion or Sponsor is the person who has decision rights for the process being targeted, is the underwriter of the project. Active support of the project team by the Champion is essential for successful project conclusion. The Senior Steering Committee is made up of representatives from the Services and primary Agency and Activity Reps and is the LSS governing body. They make decisions on deployment strategy, certification requirements, acceptable CPI methodology.
