The document provides an overview of Six Sigma, including its definition, goals and benefits. It describes the Six Sigma phases of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC) and some common tools used in each phase like process mapping, design of experiments and statistical process control. Key roles involved in Six Sigma projects include Champions, Process Owners, Black Belts and team members. Implementing Six Sigma can help reduce costs and defects while improving quality, customer satisfaction and profits.

4. Why Six Sigma?

5. What is Sigma ? Sigma A term used in statistics to represent standard deviation, an indicator of the degree of variation in a set of a process

6. What is Six Sigma? Six Sigma A statistical concept that measures a process in terms of defects – at the six sigma level, there 3.4 defects per million opportunities A philosophy and a goal : as perfect as practically possible A methodology and a symbol of quality

7. Sigma Level 3.4 6 233 5 6,210 4 66,807 3 308,537 2 Defects per Million Opportunities Sigma Level (Process Capability)

8. Sigma Level Six Sigma = 99,9997%

10. Why Six Sigma? Money Customer Satisfaction Growth Quality Competitive Advantage Employee Pride

12. Why Six Sigma? Six Sigma is about practices that help you eliminate defects and always deliver products and services that meet customer specifications

13. Cost of Poor Quality What is cost of scrap? What is cost of rework? What is cost of excessive cycle times and delays?

14. Cost of Poor Quality What is cost of business lost because customers are dissatisfied with your products or services? What is cost of opportunities lost because you didn’t have time or the resources to take advantage of them?

15. Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) Elements of a process that significantly affect the output of that process. Identifying these elements is figuring out how to make improvements that can dramatically reduce costs and enhance quality.

41. Tools and Roles for Six Sigma

50. Champions Are responsible for the Six Sigma implementation across the organization in an integrated manner. Champions also act as mentor to Black Belts. Includes CEO and other key top management team members. They are responsible for setting up a vision for Six Sigma implementation. Key Roles for Six Sigma Executive Leadership

51. Black Belts Operate under Master Black Belts to apply Six Sigma methodology to specific projects. They primarily focus on Six Sigma project execution. Identified by champions, act as in-house expert coach for the organization on Six Sigma. They devote 100% of their time to Six Sigma. Key Roles for Six Sigma Master Black Belts

52. Are the employees who take up Six Sigma implementation along with their other job responsibilities. They operate under the guidance of Black Belts and support them in achieving the overall results. Key Roles for Six Sigma Green Belts
