Northeast Lean Conference 2017 - SIPOC, The First Picture of Your ProcessTim McMahon
Whenever you are planning to start some process improvement activity, it’s important to capture an easily communicated picture of the current process first. A SIPOC (Suppliers, Inputs, Process, Outputs, Customers) diagram identifies at a high level the potential gaps (deficiencies) between suppliers and process inputs and between output specifications and customers’ expectations, thus defining the scope for process improvement activities. In this interactive session, you’ll learn to understand the fundamentals of creating an SIPOC diagram, demonstrating how you can dissect a process and create a workable improvement plan that can be applied in your everyday workplace. Armed with a detailed and shared visual understanding of how work actually occurs, the organization can more easily identify project ideas for improvement.
Six Sigma is a statistical approach to process improvement that aims to reduce defects. It involves using tools like control charts, histograms, Pareto charts, cause-and-effect diagrams, and flow charts to identify and remove sources of errors and variation in manufacturing processes. The goal of Six Sigma is to achieve a defect rate of 3.4 defects per million opportunities. It has been widely adopted by companies to improve quality, lower costs, and increase customer satisfaction. Key aspects of Six Sigma implementation include defining processes, measuring key aspects, analyzing data, improving processes, and verifying results. Suppliers must also meet quality standards like ISO certification and maintain control over their own processes to fully support a Six Sigma approach.
This document discusses process mapping and the differences between process flow mapping and value stream mapping. It defines a process as a group of logically related activities and tasks that transform inputs into specified outputs. Process flow mapping visually depicts the steps in a process, how inputs become outputs, and links to other processes. Value stream mapping considers the whole value stream, identifies non-value added steps between processes, and enables long-term planning, while process flow mapping focuses on a single process, identifies non-value added within the process, and enables shorter-term tactical planning. An example of a process flow map for checking in a paper-based trailer is provided.
The document provides an overview of Lean Six Sigma. It discusses the key principles and methodologies of Lean Six Sigma including DMAIC, DMADV, defining value streams, eliminating waste, and using data-driven problem solving.

This document provides information about SIPOC (Supplier, Inputs, Process, Outputs, Customer), a process mapping tool. It defines each element of SIPOC and explains how to create a SIPOC diagram. A SIPOC diagram provides a high-level visual of a process by documenting suppliers, inputs, the process, outputs, and customers. The document also outlines benefits such as identifying strengths, weaknesses and opportunities, and disadvantages such as only depicting high-level processes.
Flowcharts are diagrams that use graphic symbols to depict the steps in a process. They can be used to clearly show the flow of services within a hospital from admission to patient satisfaction. Flowcharts have several benefits, such as promoting understanding of processes, providing a training tool, and identifying areas for process improvement. They involve determining the key people, process steps, and level of detail needed. Different types of flowcharts convey different levels of information, from a high-level overview to granular micro-level details of specific tasks. Proper interpretation of a flowchart allows one to evaluate who is involved, potential causes of issues, and opportunities for simplifying or changing the process.

35. Why is “Zero Defects” an Important Concept? COST There is always a cost associated with manufacturing defects!
36. Costs of Defects ? Does it cost more to make processes better ? NO Making processes better leads to reduced Rework Scrap Warranty costs Inspection costs
37. 1-10-100 Rule The 1-10-100 rule states that as a product or service moves through the production system, the cost of correcting An error multiplies by 10. Activity Cost Order entered correctly $ 1 Error detected in billing $ 10 Error detected by customer $ 100 Dissatisfied customer shares the experience with others the costs is $1000
38. Why is “Zero Defects” an Important Concept? Key Element in our capability to eliminate waste. Defects Misused resources Inventories Untapped Resources Motions Delays Processes
39. Everything we do that costs something without adding value to the product Organization objective - Value added = Maximum Non-Value Added = Minimum What is Waste?
44. What is a Zero Defect Quality System (ZDQ)? A quality concept to manufacture ZERO defects & elimination of waste associated with defects! “ ZERO” is the goal!
45. What is a Zero Defect Quality System (ZDQ)? Based on a discipline that defects are prevented . Control the process so that defects are impossible!
46. What is a Zero Defect Quality System (ZDQ)? No Finger Pointing. Operators and Machines will sometimes make mistakes. Find ways to keep errors from becoming defects!
47. What is a Zero Defect Quality System (ZDQ)? A Method for Mistake-Proofing (Poka-yoke) a process. ZDQ assures that defects are not shipped!
48. How ZDQ Makes Work Easier Mistake-Proof or Poka-yoke the process! Recognize that it is natural for people to make mistakes.
49. How ZDQ Makes Work Easier Mistake-Proof or Poka-yoke the process! Not noticing that an error is made or a machine is not functioning does not make a person stupid or foolish.
50. How Do We Achieve ZDQ ? Mistake-Proof or Poka-yoke the process! Errors never become defects! No finger pointing after the fact. No mandate to do better next time.
51. Poka-Yoke results in Quality of Processes Dedicated lines One piece flow Leadtime Quality the 1st time Cost Transformation = Quality production the 1st time Inspection….eliminated ??? Transport Storage Delay/wait
52.
53. In order to reduce quality defects and stop throwing away money, we must Understand the process an its relationship to other business processes. Identify the inputs and outputs of the process. Know who are the suppliers to and customers of the process. Reduce the variation of the process And Increase Reliability.
54. What Causes Defects? Process Variation From 1. Poor procedures or standards. 2. Machines. 3. Non-conforming material. 4. Worn tooling. 5. Human Mistakes. Except for human mistakes these conditions can be predicted and corrective action can be implemented to eliminate the cause of defects
55. What Causes Defects? Human Mistakes Simple errors-the most common cause of defects-occur unpredictably. The goal of ZDQ is zero! Make certain that the required conditions are in place and controlled to make acceptable product 100% of the time.
56.
57. The 4 Components of ZDQ ZDQ functions by combining four elementary components: 1. Point of Origin Inspection 2. 100 % Audit Checks 3. Immediate Feedback 4. Poka-Yoke
58. Inspection The 3 basic approaches to inspection of processed product are: Judgment/Standard Inspection Informative Inspection Point of Origin Inspection The first two approaches are widely used and considered traditional. Only Point of Origin Inspection actually eliminates defects.
59. Point of Origin Inspection Focus on prevention, not detection. One of the 4 basic elements of ZDQ. Differs from Judgment and Informative: Catches errors Gives feedback before processing No risk of making more defective product Detect Error Feedback/Corrective Action Process with Zero Defects By combining Check and Do in the ZDQ approach; the Doing is controlled so it cannot be wrong 100% of the time! May include: Switches that detect miss-fed parts Pins that prevent miss-feeding Warning lights Sound signals
60.
61. 100% Audit Checks Point of Origin Inspection on every piece. The second of the 4 basic elements of ZDQ. Differs from SQC inspection: Does not rely on sampling Prevents defects Does not assume defects will statistically occur 100% Audit checks everything on the line! Zero Defects
62. Quick Feedback Error correction as soon as possible The third of the 4 basic elements of ZDQ. Differs from traditional inspection approaches that: Correct problems after the process Address the problem when errors are already defects In some cases never identify an error has occurred ZDQ sends the operator a signal and alarms the person that an error has happened! ZDQ Inspections = Immediate Feedback
63. The Seven Guidelines to Poka- Yoke Attainment 1) Quality Processes - Design “Robust” quality processes to achieve zero defects. 2) Utilize a Team Environment- leverage the teams knowledge,experience to enhance the improvement efforts. 3) Elimination of Errors -Utilize a robust problem solving methodology to drive defects towards zero. 4) Eliminate the “Root Cause” of The Errors-Use the 5 Why’s and 2 H’s approach 5) Do It Right The First Time- Utilizing resources to perform functions correctly the “first” time. 6) Eliminate Non-Value Added Decisions- Don’t make excuses-just do it ! 7) Implement an Incremental Continual Improvement Approach-implement improvement actions immediately and focus on incremental improvements; efforts do not have to result in a 100% improvement immediately.
64. Poka-yoke Mistake-proofing systems The fourth of the 4 basic elements of ZDQ. Does not rely on operators catching mistakes Inexpensive Point of Origin inspection Quick feedback 100% of the time “ The machine shut down. We must have made an error!” BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Most Poka-yoke devices are sensor or jig devices that assure 100% compliance all the time!
65. Poka-yoke What is Poke-yoke? A method that uses sensor or other devices for catching errors that may pass by operators or assemblers. Poka-yoke effects two key elements of ZDQ: Identifying the defect immediately ( Point of Origin Inspection) Quick Feedback for Corrective Action How effective the system is depends on where it is used: Point of Origin or Informative Inspection. Poka-yoke detects an error, gives a warning, and can shuts down the process .
66. Poka-yoke Poke-yoke and Point of Origin Inspections( Proactive Approach): A fully implemented ZDQ system requires Poka-yoke usage at or before the inspection points during the process. Poka-yoke will catch the errors before a defective part is manufactured 100% of the time.
67.
68. Poka-yoke Systems Govern the Process Two Poka-Yoke System approaches are utilized in manufacturing which lead to successful ZDQ: 1. Control Approach Shuts down the process when an error occurs. Keeps the “suspect” part in place when an operation is incomplete. 2. Warning Approach Signals the operator to stop the process and correct the problem.
69. Control System Takes human element out of the equation; does not depend on an operator or assembler. Has a high capability of achieving zero defects. Machine stops when an irregularity is detected. “ There must have been an error detected; the machine shut down by itself!”
70. Warning System BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! “ I’m glad the alarm went off, now I’m not making defects!”
71. Contact Method Missing cylinder; piston fully extended alarm sounds Contact Method using limit switches identifies missing cylinder. Cannot proceed to next step. Cylinder present
72. Contact Methods Do not have to be high tech! Passive devices are sometimes the best method. These can be as simple as guide pins or blocks that do not allow parts to be seated in the wrong position prior to processing Take advantage of parts designed with an uneven shape! A work piece with a hole a bump or an uneven end is a perfect candidate for a passive jig. This method signals to the operator right away that the part is not in proper position.
73. Counting Method Used when a fixed number of operations are required within a process, or when a product has a fixed number of parts that are attached to it. A sensor counts the number of times a part is used or a process is completed and releases the part only when the right count is reached. In the example to the right a limit switch is used to detect and count when the required amount of holes are drilled. The buzzer sounds alerting the operator that the appropriate amount of steps have been taken in the process.
74. Counting Method Another approach is to count the number of parts or components required to complete an operation in advance. If operators finds parts leftover using this method, they will know that something has been omitted from the process. “ I have an extra part. I must have omitted a step!”

Editor's Notes
Setting the expectation of audience. Following are the topics which would be covered not necessarily in the same order.
6 Sigma uses a 6 step approach to achieve process performance improvement. Step 1 Measure Step 4 Verify Step 2 Evaluate Step 5 Standardize Step 3 Improve Step 6 Repeat steps 1-5 It is a conceptual strategy of approach utilizing process mapping any number of statistical methods tools to assess efficiency of performance. Kaizen is a performance improvement methodology focused on identification and elimination of the 7 forms of process waste.
Poka-yoke is a key success factor required to achieve 6 sigma and Kaizen improvements, which will eliminate wastes and variation associated with processes.
Eliminating process wastes,such as defects, through implementation of Poka-yoke efforts, will result in more repeatable and reproducible processes. Thus, processes will be more efficient and be more cost effective.
This rule shows the importance and the possible escalation of the costs associated with defects. The idea is, that as the defective item is processed, the costs increased by a factor of 10 at each successive step. Theses increases in costs are due to the accumulation of wastes of each successive step as well as the increase in the consumption of resources associated with each additional step in the process.
What is waste ? Waste is defined here in general terms. Waste does not add value to the products and services we provide and is therefore non-value added. Thus, by the elimination of wastes, we reduce activities that do not add value to the customer and do not contribute to the profits of our organization! Moreover, when we reduce wastes, we have more time and resources to focus on the value-added activities which are important to our customer and which do contribute the our profits !
These are the nine characteristic types of waste affecting process performance. Everything we do or make that does not add value to the product is waste. The goal is to minimize wastes, maximize value add.
In order for an organization to continually improve in all aspects of their business, they must eliminate the wastes associated with the processes.
As processes are dynamic over time , new wastes appear. The continuous improvement cycle repeats indefinitely in order to address the changing face of waste.
The focus on elimination of wastes (muda) is the core concept of Kaizen. Several means are employed to achieve the strategy of reducing lead times, costs, and producing quality the first time, every time.
If quality is designed into the production process, it may be possible to eliminate inspection.
Work is a series of interrelated processes. All processes have variation associated with them. Variation results in defects. Defects in one process can lead to defects in another process. When defects escalate costs escalate.
Mistakes can be assigned to any of ten categories depending on the basis of their origin.
These are the sevens rules to a successful Poka-yoke implementation, generally in most text you will see 8 guidelines to poka-yoke attainment;we combined two steps into one. These should be custom fitted to your organization and culture.
To prevent mistakes from becoming defects, Poka-Yoke, or error proofing devices build quality into a process. To avoid (yokeru) inadvertent errors (poka) Often worker originated
Control examples : polarized electrical plug, gas pump nozzle, car transmission must be in park in order to start engine. Warning examples : disc brake pad noise when pad becomes thin, alarm for car lights left on after engine is turned off.
Adopt a bias for action, avoid paralysis by analysis
Ask others to give more examples from their experience
Building quality into the process design so that mistakes are detected before they become defects is the road to quality the first time, every time.
