• The term “sigma” is used to designate the distribution or spread about the mean (average) of any process or procedure.

• For a process, the sigma capability (z-value) is a metric that indicates how well that process is performing. The higher the sigma capability, the better. Sigma capability measures the capability of the process to produce defect-free outputs. A defect is anything that results in customer dissatisfaction.

• The term “Six Sigma” was coined by Bill Smith, an engineer with Motorola

• Late 1970s - Motorola started experimenting with problem solving through statistical analysis

• 1987 - Motorola officially launched it’s Six Sigma program

• Jack Welch launched Six Sigma at GE in Jan,1996

• 1998/99 - Green Belt exam certification became the criteria for management promotions

• 2002/03 - Green Belt certification became the criteria for promotion to management roles

• To understand the process; it’s mission, flow and scope

• To know the customers and their expectations

• To identify, monitor and improve correct performance measures for the process

• A logical and structured approach to problem solving and process improvement

• An iterative process (continuous improvement)

• A quality tool with focus on change management

Collect data

- Is tool used to measure the output variable flawed ?- Do all operators interpret the tool reading in the same way ?

- How many data points do you need to collect ?- How many days do you need to collect data for ?- What is the sampling strategy ?- Who will collect data and how will data get stored ? - What could the potential drivers of variation be ?

Root Cause Analysis (fish bone)

• A brainstorming tool that helps define and display major causes, sub causes and root causes that influence a process

• Visualize the potential relationship between causes which may be creating problems or defects

Pareto Chart

• Pareto principle states that disproportionately large percentage of defects are caused due to relatively fewer factors (generally, 80% defects are caused by 20% factors)

Hypothesis Testing

• A statistical tool used to validate if two samples are different or whether a sample belongs to a given population

Null Hypothesis (HNull Hypothesis (Hoo)) is the statement of the status quo

Alternate Hypothesis (HAlternate Hypothesis (Haa)) is the statement of difference

• Have the new operating procedures and standards been documented ?

• What Statistical Process Control (SPC) tools will be used to monitor the process performance ?

• Who will review the performance of the output variable and significant factors on closure of the project and how frequently ?

• What is the corrective action or reaction plan if any of the factors were to be out of control ?
