It lists the main activities and key deliverables for each phase such as developing a team charter, process maps, measurement plans, identifying and validating root causes, generating and selecting solutions, and implementing and controlling solutions.
Quality improvement has been a long concern for any organizations. Six sigma in this case is an efficient tool to gain service excellence that is imroving the capability of business. This tool is basically based on statistics, focused on process,followed by a data-driven methodolgy. With an aim to improve the output quality, which includes risk and/or fault identification and applying procedure to minimize the risk, six sigma serves the purpose of defect reduction and a boost up of employee morale, profit and services. The integration of defect detection and minimizing it hence improving the quality of service is the main concern here.
Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that combines Lean and Six Sigma to improve processes and eliminate waste. It uses tools like DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) and 5S (Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) to systematically identify and remove causes of defects and minimize variability in processes. A case study on implementing Lean Six Sigma in a call center showed improvements like increasing the actualization rate from 2.6% to 20% and updating procedures to better address customer issues. The future plan is to optimize billing processes and further improve call center quality and efficiency.
Six Sigma is a data-driven approach to process improvement originally developed by Motorola to reduce defects. It aims to minimize process variation and improve quality by identifying and removing causes of defects. Projects use DMAIC or DMADV methodologies and follow the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control problem-solving strategy. Key aspects include a focus on quantifiable returns, strong leadership, and staff roles like Black Belts trained in Six Sigma techniques. The methodology helps organizations understand relationships between process inputs and outputs to control outputs through optimizing vital inputs.
This document provides an overview of Six Sigma, including:
- Six Sigma is a set of techniques and tools aimed at process improvement and reducing defects. It was developed by Motorola in 1986.
- The objectives of Six Sigma are to focus on critical quality factors, reducing defects and variation, achieving stable operations, and reducing costs. The benefits include improved performance, sustained success, enhanced customer value, and enabling strategic change.
- The DMAIC and DMADV methodologies are explained as the primary approaches used in Six Sigma, along with the roles of various "belts". Technical tools like Pareto charts, cause-and-effect diagrams, and affinity diagrams are also summarized.
The document provides an overview of Six Sigma, including its objectives, key characteristics, tools, deployment process, and methodology known as DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control). Six Sigma aims to reduce variation and defects through a data-driven approach. It requires leadership commitment, data-based decision making, and organizational change. Six Sigma training includes various belts that lead projects of increasing scope. The final section discusses Motorola's use of Six Sigma to achieve very high quality levels.
This document provides an introduction to Six Sigma, including an overview of what it is, why it's used, key concepts like defects per million opportunities (DPMO) at different sigma levels, and the DMAIC methodology involving define, measure, analyze, improve, and control phases. It also outlines some common Six Sigma tools and roles like Green Belts, Black Belts, Master Black Belts, Champions, and executive leadership. The goal of Six Sigma is to improve quality, reduce defects and variation in processes, and increase customer satisfaction.
In the early and mid-1980s, Motorola engineers decided that the traditional quality levels — measuring defects in thousands of opportunities – didn’t provide enough granularity. Instead, they wanted to measure the defects per million opportunities. Motorola developed this new standard and made a cultural change associated with it. Six Sigma helped Motorola realize powerful bottom-line results in their organization – in fact, they documented more than $16 Billion in savings as a result of our Six Sigma efforts.
Six Sigma has evolved over time. It’s more than just a quality system like TQM or ISO. It’s a way of doing business.
Six Sigma at many organizations simply means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving toward six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process – from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service. A Six Sigma defect is defined as anything outside of customer specifications.
A Six Sigma opportunity is then the total quantity of chances for a defect.

Six Sigma is a statistical concept that measures quality in terms of defects per million opportunities. It aims to reduce variation and make data-driven decisions to meet customer needs. The objectives are to improve customer satisfaction, reduce cycle times and defects. Six Sigma can be applied across various business functions and uses tools like DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control). It employs roles like Champions, Master Black Belts, Black Belts and Green Belts to lead projects and achieve a six sigma level of 3.4 defects per million opportunities.
Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that combines Lean and Six Sigma approaches to process improvement. Lean focuses on speed and efficiency while Six Sigma aims for precision and reducing variation. Both arose in the 1980s, with Lean developing in auto manufacturing and Six Sigma in the semiconductor industry. Combining the two approaches allows organizations to address all types of process problems using the most appropriate tools. Lean Six Sigma seeks to achieve total customer satisfaction, remove waste, improve processes, and develop leaders to meet goals of better products delivered faster and at lower cost. It provides a common vision and language for organizations and promotes teamwork to continuously improve processes.

It aims for near perfection by achieving no more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. The document outlines the history and key aspects of Six Sigma, including that it was developed by Motorola in the 1980s and has since been adopted by over 25% of Fortune 200 companies, helping generate billions of dollars in savings annually for companies like General Electric and Johnson & Johnson. The two main Six Sigma project methodologies - DMAIC and DMADV - are also summarized.
This document introduces Six Sigma as a strategy to achieve world class performance through reducing defects. It discusses the importance of quality control, the history and standardization of quality methods. Six Sigma is defined as a process for achieving 99.9997% accuracy by reducing defects to 3.4 per million opportunities. It requires organizational support and leadership, as well as roles like Champions, Black Belts and Green Belts. The DMAIC process of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control is used. Benefits include increased profits, customer satisfaction and success. Various levels of Six Sigma certification are also overviewed.
This document provides information about a Lean Six Sigma for IT workshop that will teach attendees how to apply Lean Six Sigma methodology to improve the quality and efficiency of their IT processes.

Attendees will learn techniques to identify improvement opportunities, measure key performance metrics, determine root causes of issues, develop solutions to address problems, and create control plans to maintain gains. On the second day, attendees can earn their Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification by participating in exercises and passing an exam. The workshop aims to provide IT professionals with tools to continuously enhance their work through data-driven problem solving.
A new Era of financial reporting - ICAI Agra branch - 30th April CA Aditya Singhal
This document discusses the transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in India. It provides an overview of key IFRS standards such as IAS 1 on financial statement presentation and IFRS 1 on first-time adoption. The document outlines the 5 step process for first-time IFRS adoption as well as requirements for the opening IFRS balance sheet such as asset and liability recognition and measurement. It also summarizes the revised roadmap for mandatory IFRS implementation in India for listed and large unlisted companies beginning 2017-2018.
- International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) provide a single set of accounting standards that are used by over 100 countries, including members of the European Union and parts of Asia. India is also moving companies towards adopting Ind AS, which are converged with IFRS.
- Transitioning to Ind AS/IFRS can be a long and complex process with many challenges. It requires changes to financial reporting, policies, processes, systems, and controls that may impact organizations. It also requires the retroactive restatement of historical periods.
- For the IT industry, key challenges of adopting Ind AS/IFRS include changes to revenue recognition, share-based payments, income taxes, and additional disclosure requirements. Proper planning is
The document discusses the challenges that companies in the IT industry will face when transitioning to Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS), which are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Some of the key challenges include changes to revenue recognition, share-based payments, income taxes, and first-time adoption requirements. Revenue recognition under Ind-AS/IFRS may differ from current Indian standards. Share-based payments also have retrospective implications and complex measurement requirements. Adopting Ind-AS will also impact tax accounting and require companies to restate historical financial statements. The transition process will be long and require changes to financial reporting, systems, controls and other business processes.
The document is about a workshop on Microsoft Excel 2007 and 2010 held by CA Aditya Singhal. It discusses the goals of the workshop which are to work between Excel 2010 and earlier versions, complete basic tasks like formatting, and learn advanced functions. It then compares features of Excel 2003 and earlier versions to Excel 2007/2010 such as increased number of rows and columns, new charting and pivot table features, and stability issues. The rest of the document outlines the workshop agenda covering basic commands, analysis, and other functions and tools in Excel 2007/2010. It concludes by thanking participants and providing contact information.
The document provides an overview of Ind-AS (Indian Accounting Standards), which are converged with IFRS. It discusses the need for convergence, the phases of adoption in India, differences between Ind-AS and IFRS/Indian AS, the current status of Ind-AS, and the roles of chartered accountants in industry and practice regarding the transition. Over 100 countries either require or permit IFRS use, with more considering convergence. Ind-AS adoption in India will occur in 3 phases between 2011-2014 for large public and private companies. Key challenges include fair value assessments, retrospective application, and financial statement consolidation.
This document provides a classification and overview of various Excel commands and functions that can be used for auditing and analysis purposes. It discusses commands for splitting windows, hiding and unhiding rows/columns, navigating sheets, naming cells, filling cells, inserting functions, using paste special, changing case, editing multiple sheets, customizing toolbars, auditing cells, sorting data, using IF, SUM, AND and OR functions, protecting sheets, grouping parts of sheets and using subtotals. The document is intended to teach auditors and analysts how to effectively use Excel for their work.

For a business or manufacturing process, the Sigma level is a metric that
indicates how well that process is performing. The higher the sigma level , the
better/ sigma level measures the capability of the process to perform defect-
free work. A defect is anything that results in customer dissatisfaction.
