WHAT IS SIX SIGMA
Six Sigma is a disciplined methodology that uses data and statistical analysis to measure and improve a company's operational performance.
Six Sigma is a performance target focused on critical customer requirements.
Key concepts :- (a) Critical to Quality
(b) Process Capability © Stable Operations
FUNDAMENTAL OF SIX SIGMA
NEED OF SIX SIGMA
Sigma (the lower-case Greek letter σ) is used to represent standard deviation of a population.
A sigma quality level offers an indicator of how often defects are likely to occur, where a higher sigma quality level indicates a process that is less likely to create defects.
Standard deviation can be thought of as a comparison between expected results or outcomes in a group of operations, versus those that fail.
Six Sigma is the definition of outcomes as close as possible to perfection. With six standard deviations, we arrive at 3.4 defects per million opportunities, or 99.99966 %.
DIFFERENT SIGMA LEVELS
OBJECTIVE OF SIX SIGMA
BENEFITS OF SIX SIGMA
Improved customer loyalty.
Reduced cycle time.
Less wastage.
Better Time management.
Generates sustained gains, improvements and Success.
Systematic problem solving.
Assures strategic planning.
Reductions of incidents and accidents.
Better safety performance.
Understanding of processes.
SIX SIGMA SUCCESS STORIES
MOTOROLA
Only two years after launching Six Sigma, Motorola was honored with the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.
The company’s total employment has risen from 71,000 employees in 1980 to over 130,000 today.
More than a set of tools, though, Motorola applied Six Sigma as a way to transform the business, a way driven by communication, training, leadership, teamwork, measurement, and a focus on customers.
