Part C - Six Sigma Project Charter
1. Six Sigma Projects under Consideration
Based on the value stream map title Value Stream Mapping and
Analysis (Attachment 1), the
following Six Sigma projects are recommended for
consideration:
13. a) Total Lead Time Reduction. This metric (62-days) is being
driven by the amount of
process time that is specific to getting on a government
customer’s (USG) calendar to
review products on two occasions, coordinate schedules and
clearances, and finally to
get schedules aligned in order to execute an engagement. In
other words, this reflects
the total time it takes our field offices to deliver on internal and
external customer
requests for engagements.
b) Activity Ratio (AR) Improvement. The AR of .76%
represents an extremely low value
and indicates that workflow is idle nearly 99% of the time that
it takes requests to flow
through this process. It would appear that we spend a
significant amount of our
operations in a passive mode.
14. c) Percent Complete and Accurate Improvement (specific to
Step 4). While on the
surface it does not appear that field office operations have a
problem with quality of
product as reflected in each step of the value stream, the Rolled
Percent C&A indicates
that greater than 80% of the time, products have to be reworked
to some extent across
the value stream. The is a reflection of our quality output
across our value stream but it
begins with Step 4.
While correcting any one of these three metrics will have a
positive impact to our value stream,
I am recommending that we address percent complete and
accurate as our priority Six Sigma
project.
Why? Because % C&A across the value stream is not only
impacting our Rolled % C&A but it is
also adversely affecting total lead time and activity ratio which
ultimately increase our
operating costs and could potentially tarnish our customer-brand
15. relationships. For example,
referring to our government affairs value stream, we can see
that steps 4, 5, and 6 in the
process require either receiving or reviewing of briefing
products. This equates to 22 of the 62
days in the process. While I hesitate to call out any goals for
the project at this point, I have to
believe that improving our percent complete and accurate at any
one of these three steps (4, 5,
or 6) will reduce total lead time, improve activity ratio, and
ultimately result in advancing our
business-like relationships with internal and external customers.
I am recommending we focus specifically on the percent
complete and accurate in Step 4 of our
value stream.

2. Project Charter
Project Name
16. Defense Industry Field Office Six Sigma Project No. 1
Problem Statement
Our recent Value Stream Mapping activity concluded that over
the past year, it takes us three
independent steps to receive and review briefing products in
advance of an executive-level
customer engagement. Those steps have percent complete and
accurate figures of 60, 80, and
95 percent respectively and are ultimately contributing to our
total led time for the process of
62 days resulting in increased costs and adverse customer
relations – both internal and
external.
Goal Statement
Our goal is to improve the quality of our briefing products when
first received, to eliminate
multiple reviews (internal and external), reduce operating costs,
and contribute to improved
customer-brand relations. Specifically, this project will target
an increase in the percent
complete and accurate of our briefing products (Power Point
17. Presentations) received in Step 4
from 60% to 90% within five months of project kick-off.
Project Scope
In Scope
- This project will focus on Step 4 of our Field Office Value
Stream Map and research why
% C&A for briefing products received by the field office is 60%
- what are the drivers
- Analysis will be limited to assessing the average number of
pages per briefs (no more
than five pages is the customer limit for executive-level briefs),
defining accuracy (the
brief must reflect our business unit’s current line of products),
relevancy of content (the
brief must specifically address the customer’s request for
information), and quality
(administrative errors) – percentage grades will be assigned by
reviewers
18. - We will conduct weekly, all day (eight hour) face-to-face
meetings – not including
project kick off, mid-course review, and final report debrief
Out of Scope
- This project will not focus (initially) on process steps leading
up to or after Step 4 in our
Field Office Value Stream Map
- Metrics other than % C&A will not be considered for analysis
unless the team elects to
modify scope
3
Critical-to-Quality Requirements of Processes within Scope
The below CTQs are directly traceable to scope as related to
19. briefing products:
- Length. Briefs can be no more than five pages in length
- Accuracy. Briefs must only include material on our products
that are currently in
production and/or, available in inventory
- Relevancy of Content. Company products referenced in
briefing materials must be
traceable to the customer’s request for information.
- Quality. Briefing materials must conform to the corporation’s
standard corporate
format and color scheme and be error free on first pass
Key Metrics
In order to develop a clear understanding of why our products
do not have a high % C&A in
Step 4 of our value stream the following metrics will be
analyzed:
20. - Average length of Business Area briefs in number of pages
- Accuracy measured in percent of products referenced in our
briefs that are readily
available to the customer
- Relevancy of content measured in percent of content that is
traceable to the customer’s
request for information
- Quality measured in number of format, spelling, and color
scheme errors per brief (first
pass)
Expected Benefits
Operational
- Improved internal customer relations – speed to close on
engagement by ultimately
eliminating errors and redundancies in product reviews
- Improved external customer relations – qualitative
improvement in briefing products
21. delivered to USG SMEs reducing review time with the potential
to eliminate one
industry and USG SME product review (Step 6)
Financial
- 30% improvement in process time in first pass review of
briefing products by Field Office
SME – should reduce process time by one eight-hour work day
annually per field office
producing savings of $1000+ annually per field office
(considering 12 engagements per
year per Navy field office)
- The potential to eliminate one Field Office SME and USG
SME Product Review (Step 6) –
should save 1.5 work days annually per field office producing
savings of $1500+ annually
per Field Office (considering 12 engagements per year per
service field office)
22. 4
Milestones for DMAIC Phases
The expected level of effort will require 10 hours per week for
the project lead and five hours
per week by core team members (50% of which will be virtual
to remain within budget).

days in the process. While I hesitate to call out any goals for
the project at this point, I have to
believe that improving our percent complete and accurate at any
one of these three steps (4, 5,
or 6) will reduce total lead time, improve activity ratio, and
ultimately result in advancing our
business-like relationships with internal and external customers.
33. I am recommending we focus specifically on the percent
complete and accurate in Step 4 of our
value stream.

2. Project Charter
Project Name
Defense Industry Field Office Six Sigma Project No. 1
Problem Statement
Our recent Value Stream Mapping activity concluded that over
the past year, it takes us three
independent steps to receive and review briefing products in
advance of an executive-level
customer engagement. Those steps have percent complete and
accurate figures of 60, 80, and
95 percent respectively and are ultimately contributing to our
total led time for the process of
34. 62 days resulting in increased costs and adverse customer
relations – both internal and
external.
Goal Statement
Our goal is to improve the quality of our briefing products when
first received, to eliminate
multiple reviews (internal and external), reduce operating costs,
and contribute to improved
customer-brand relations. Specifically, this project will target
an increase in the percent
complete and accurate of our briefing products (Power Point
Presentations) received in Step 4
from 60% to 90% within five months of project kick-off.
Project Scope
In Scope
- This project will focus on Step 4 of our Field Office Value
Stream Map and research why
% C&A for briefing products received by the field office is 60%
35. - what are the drivers
- Analysis will be limited to assessing the average number of
pages per briefs (no more
than five pages is the customer limit for executive-level briefs),
defining accuracy (the
brief must reflect our business unit’s current line of products),
relevancy of content (the
brief must specifically address the customer’s request for
information), and quality
(administrative errors) – percentage grades will be assigned by
reviewers
- We will conduct weekly, all day (eight hour) face-to-face
meetings – not including
project kick off, mid-course review, and final report debrief
Out of Scope
- This project will not focus (initially) on process steps leading
up to or after Step 4 in our
Field Office Value Stream Map
36. - Metrics other than % C&A will not be considered for analysis
unless the team elects to
modify scope
3
Critical-to-Quality Requirements of Processes within Scope
The below CTQs are directly traceable to scope as related to
briefing products:
- Length. Briefs can be no more than five pages in length
- Accuracy. Briefs must only include material on our products
that are currently in
production and/or, available in inventory
- Relevancy of Content. Company products referenced in
briefing materials must be
traceable to the customer’s request for information.
37. - Quality. Briefing materials must conform to the corporation’s
standard corporate
format and color scheme and be error free on first pass
Key Metrics
In order to develop a clear understanding of why our products
do not have a high % C&A in
Step 4 of our value stream the following metrics will be
analyzed:
- Average length of Business Area briefs in number of pages
- Accuracy measured in percent of products referenced in our
briefs that are readily
available to the customer
- Relevancy of content measured in percent of content that is
traceable to the customer’s
request for information
- Quality measured in number of format, spelling, and color
scheme errors per brief (first
38. pass)
Expected Benefits
Operational
- Improved internal customer relations – speed to close on
engagement by ultimately
eliminating errors and redundancies in product reviews
- Improved external customer relations – qualitative
improvement in briefing products
delivered to USG SMEs reducing review time with the potential
to eliminate one
industry and USG SME product review (Step 6)
Financial
- 30% improvement in process time in first pass review of
briefing products by Field Office
39. SME – should reduce process time by one eight-hour work day
annually per field office
producing savings of $1000+ annually per field office
(considering 12 engagements per
year per Navy field office)
- The potential to eliminate one Field Office SME and USG
SME Product Review (Step 6) –
should save 1.5 work days annually per field office producing
savings of $1500+ annually
per Field Office (considering 12 engagements per year per
service field office)

Milestones for DMAIC Phases
The expected level of effort will require 10 hours per week for
the project lead and five hours
per week by core team members (50% of which will be virtual
40. to remain within budget).

53. into book 1, book 2, book 3, book 4, book 5 and book 6.
Skyworth design house has 25 units in store and will therefore
seek the processes of SDF supplier who is the prinitng house
well as the graphic designer. Skyworth will review and update
each of the books which will take approximately three hours to
do so. these reviews have to be drafted and will consume six
hours to do so. This will be followed by a supplier material
requisition that will take six hours. Generally the whole process
will take 1230 minutes which is approximately twenty one
working hours. The client will get their order in the fourth
dayChallengesthere may be issues in reviewing and getting the
feedback to the print housethere are delays in the print house
which may cause delays in the operations.a minor error in one
book may cause the design house to recheck all other
