This document discusses the relevance of Six Sigma to India's economic development. It provides an overview of Six Sigma, including its history, definition, methodology, belts, and applications. Six Sigma was developed by Motorola to improve process quality and reduce defects. It aims for no more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Regular use of Six Sigma can help organizations achieve 20% annual profit margin growth through quality improvements, capacity increases, staff reductions, and capital savings. The document also outlines a case study of General Electric's improved financial results after implementing Six Sigma.

3. Relevance to India’s GDP
Growth of GDP has increased from 7.5 % to 8 % (2004-05 to
2005-06) with an expected growth of 9.5 % in the
manufacturing sector.
India needs to grow atleast by 10% every year to join the big
boys of the global economy by 2020.
In 2000, Average per capita income in India was $500
compared to U.S.A was $32000.
Considering our population growth of about 2% per year,
India’s economy must grow nearly by 23% and sustain this
growth for the next 25 years if the Average Indian is to become
as rich as Average American having average income of
$52500 in 2025 (based on conservative growth of 2% per
year).

For moving in the direction to achieve the above, we need to
adopt
Best governance
Good business practices
Unimaginable productivity jumps.
Six Sigma is one of the important and useful tool of
the good management practices
The other tools include such as TQM, ISO, Benchmarking, Balanced,
Scorecard, SEI-CMM and the Balridge Award etc.
5. History Of Six Sigma
Six Sigma Was Developed at Motorola in the 1980’s as a
Method to Improve Process Quality i.e. recognizing that
products with high first pass yield rarely failed in use.
Companies that have deployed Six Sigma:
Bank of America
Motorola
GE
IBM
Kodak
Wipro and Many More

6. What is Sigma?
σ
Sigma - the lower case Greek letter that
denotes a statistical unit of measurement
used to define the standard deviation of a
population. It measures the variability or
spread of the data.
7. What is Six Sigma
It is a statistical term that measures how far a given process
deviates from perfection.
Central idea behind Six Sigma - if you can measure how
many "defects" you have in a process, you can systematically
figure out how to eliminate them and get as close to "zero
defects" as possible.
A defect can be anything from a faulty part to an incorrect
customer bill.
To achieve Six Sigma quality, a process must produce no
more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities.
An "opportunity“ is - a chance for nonconformance, or not
meeting the required specifications.
8. What is Six Sigma…2
This means organizations need to be nearly
flawless in executing their key processes.
Critical to Quality:
Attributes most important to the customer
Defect:
Failing to deliver what the customer wants
Process Capability:
What your process can deliver
Variation:
What the customer sees and feels
Stable Operations:
Ensuring consistent, predictable processes to
improve what the customer sees and feels
Design for Six Sigma: Designing to meet customer needs and process
capability

10. What is Cost of Poor Quality?
• For a decrease of one sigma the manufacturing cost of the
product increases by about 10%.
• Companies operating at 3 or 4 sigma spend b/w 25 & 40 % of
their revenues in fixing the defects or problems- Cost of
Quality.
• In almost every company where the COPQ is unknown, the
COPQ exceeds the profit margin.
11. Six Sigma Methodology
Six Sigma focuses on improving quality (i.e. reducing
waste) by helping organizations to produce products &
services better, faster & cheaper.
It focuses on defect prevention, cycle time reduction, & cost
savings.
Two approaches for achieving the Six Sigma goal:
- Improving existing products and processes.
- Developing new products and processes.
12. When To Use DMAIC
The DMAIC methodology should be used when a product or process is in
existence at your company but is not meeting customer specification or is
not performing adequately
Define
Measure
Analyze
Improve
Control
•Define the project goals and customer (internal & external)
deliverables
•Measure the process to determine current performance
•Analyze and determine the root causes of the defects
•Improve the process by eliminating defects
•Control future process performance
13. When To Use DMADV
The DMADV methodology should be used:• When a product or process is not in existence at your company and
one needs to be developed
• The existing product or process exists and has been optimized (using
either DMAIC or not) and still doesn't meet the level of customer
specification or six sigma level
•Define the project goals and customer (internal and external)
deliverables
Measure •Measure and determine customer needs and specifications
Analyze •Analyze the process options to meet the customer needs
Design •Design (detailed) the process to meet the customer needs
Verify
•Verify the design performance and ability to meet customer
needs
Define
14. Why Organizations are embracing
Six Sigma
Six Sigma is about improving profitability, although improved quality &
efficiency are immediate by-products of six-sigma. Organization that
implement six sigma do so with the goal of improving their margins.
Organizations that implement-six sigma-have profit margins grow 20
% year after year for each sigma shift (up to 4.8 to 5 sigma).
Organizations operating at three sigma levels that marshal all their
resources around six sigma can expect to make one sigma shift
improvement each year, these Organizations will experience:
•
•
•
•
20 % margin improvement
12 to 18% increase in capacity
12% reduction in the number of employees
10 to 30 % capital reduction
15. It’s not all Plain Sailing!
Adoption requires a cultural change in order to gain best
results. Six Sigma has changed the DNA of many
organizations — it is now the way they work — in
everything they do and in every product they design
Top management must be patient- there is no quick fix.
Six Sigma is about getting the right answer, not just any
answer.

18. Case Study: Impact of Six Sigma
Implementation at General Electric
Results achieved over the first two years (1996-1998):
• Revenues have risen to $100 billion, up 11%
• Earnings have increased to $9.3 billion, up 13%
• Earnings per share have grown to $2.80, up 14%
• Operating margin has risen to a record 16.7%
• Working capital turns have risen sharply to 9.2%, up from
1997's record of 7.4 %
19. Application Of Six Sigma
Supply Chain Management-Suppliers have to adopt Six Sigma quality because the
overall quality of the product will be as good as its weakest link.
Inventory Control-Discussing the main Customer’s needs(CTQ’s) and creating a
system that linked forecast and order data and streamlined the various production
and planning processes.
Technology Vs Control-Process control keeps the process variation to a minimum,
thereby maintaining high sigma capability.
R&D Project Selection-The define phase of DFSS methodology has the
ARMI(Approval,Resources, members of the team and interested party) tool that is
best suited during the project selection phase.
Team Selection-the tool GRPI is suitable for identifying the members of a team and
their tasks.
Process Optimization & Debottelnecking-The analyze and improve phases contain
many tools which help in sorting bottlenecks and optimization.
{"16":"“Capable People Executing Capable Processes” requires the following training investments: \nManagement Black Belt Champions -- All managers bankwide attend two days of training\nQuality Fundamentals -- All associates take this five-hour course\nGreen Belt -- 15%* of associates become Green Belt- certified in a two-week class (These associates must be sponsored by their managers)\nBlack Belt -- 1 - 5%* of associates become Black Belt- certified in a four-week course. (Black Belts are selected from individuals who excel in Green Belt classes.)\nMaster Black Belt -- Fewer than 1% of associates become mentors, coaches and trainers of other Black Belts\n* At maturity, approximately 3 years from now (2004)\n"}
