The document outlines a seminar on Six Sigma, a data-driven methodology aimed at eliminating defects in various processes to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction. It details the goals of Six Sigma, such as reducing costs and defects, and highlights principles including continuous improvement and company-wide implementation. The central theme is that measuring defects enables organizations to reduce them, striving for 'zero defects' in operations.

2. Presentation Outline What is 6 sigma ? Why 6 sigma ? How to implement 6 sigma ? Who is involved in 6 sigma ?

3. What is Six Sigma ? Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving towards six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specifications limit) in any process-from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service.

4. 6 Sigma – Typical Goals Dramatically lower costs Improve customer satisfaction Shorten time to market Reduce defects,scarp and re-work Simplify operations Improve competitive position

5. 6 Sigma – The Principles Focus on the customer Continuous process improvement Leading by example Company wide implementation Business strategy integration Decision making using statistical analysis

6. Six Sigma Key Terms Management Steering Committee Strategic Direction Six Sigma Projects Six Sigma Black Belts Six Sigma Measures Quality Improvement Facilitators

12. Why Six Sigma? The word sigma is statistical term that measures how far a given process deviates from perfection. The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you can measure how many “ defects ” you have in a process, you can symmetrically figure out how to eliminate them and get as close to “ zero defects ”.
