Six Sigma is both a process and a project approach for process improvement that follows a structured methodology. It uses a defined process with phases and milestones to manage projects while allowing flexibility. Following a proven process makes success more likely than using tools alone. The process includes distinct phases, methods and tools focused on statistics, and defined roles and responsibilities. It aims to identify and control the critical inputs that influence process outputs and outcomes through data-driven analysis and variation reduction.

Six Sigma is not
a process vs. project approach
but process & project,
similar to generic project management approaches (IPMA, PMI, Prince2, ...)
that all follow a specific process for managing projects, including the
option and obligation
to tailor it to the specific situation.

Using a clear process
with the accompanying habitual routines
allows to focus on the specifics
that require human brain power.

5. Lean Six Sigma White Belt Training — 2.1 Six Sigma as a process and project
Following proven process steps
within the improvement project
makes the overall success more likely
than using only a set of method and tools
without following an appropriate process.

• Structured, fact based process
with distinguished phases & milestones
• Accompanying set of methods and tools
with a special focus on statistics
• Strong organizational embedding
with dedicated roles & responsibilities
• Additionally accompanying change management
in training as well as projects

• Y = f(X) + e
All outcomes and results (the Y) are determined by inputs (the Xs) with some
degree of uncertainty (e).
• To change or improve results (the Y), you have to focus on the inputs (the Xs),
modify them, and control them.
• Variation is everywhere, and it degrades consistent, good performance. The job is
to find it and minimize it.
• Valid measurements and data are required foundations for consistent,
breakthrough improvements.
• Only a critical few inputs have significant effect on the output. Concentrate on the
critical few.
