 QUALITY??
 IS 99% Quality or Performance Good??
99% Quality means………
• 5000 incorrect medical treatments per week !
• 200,000 wrong billings each year !
• 2 Short or Long landings at Airport each day !
• Unsafe Domestic Water for 15 min/day !
• 20,000 lost e-mail per hour !
• No electricity for 7 hrs per month !
Classical view on Quality
99% Good (3.8 Sigma)
The Six Sigma view of Quality
99.99966% Good (6 Sigma)
20,000 lost articles of mail per hour Seven articles lost per hour
Unsafe drinking water for almost 15
minutes each day
One unsafe minute every seven months
5,000 incorrect surgical operations per
week
1.7 incorrect operation per week
Two short or long landings at most major
airports each day
One short or long landing every five years
600 new policies / month delivered with
errors
1 new policy delivered with errors every 5
months
180,000 lost calls each year 61 lost calls each years
No electricity for almost seven hours each
month
One hours without electricity every 34Years

 Motorola initiated Six Sigma at a time when they
were consistently beaten in the competitive market
by Japanese firms. These firms were able to produce
higher quality products at a lower cost.
 A Japanese firm took over a Motorola factory that
manufactured television sets in the 1970s.
 Under Japanese management, the factory was soon
producing TV sets with 1/20th the number of defects
they had produced under Motorola management.
 Japanese did this using the same workforce,
technology, product design, making it clear that the
problem was in Motorola's way of management.
 Motorola started looking into their way of
working.
 Rework cost - 15% of annual revenue.
 Bill Smith found a direct correlation of rework
with failure at customer site.
 He suggested the entire process to be viewed in
small segments and performance be measured.
 Each process segment is critically examined
◦ What it is supposed to do.
◦ What is the target.
◦ What is actual.
 Thus it was possible to get quantified
performance measure.
 % was not appropriate measure, instead, to
compete with Japan, ppm be used.
 DPMO / Sigma level measurements were
devised, so that every process is measured
in same scale and are comparable.
 While examining performance of process
segments, focus was on removing
unnecessary activities.
 Target was to achieve nearly zero defect out
of million “possibilities of defect”.
 The result we know today is “SIX SIGMA”.

PROCESSES.
 As the process is not perfect, there is
consideration of 1.5 shift.
 In most cases, the process mean
doesn’t stay exactly in the centre of the
specification limit. The actual location of
the mean is closer to one side than the
other. This is called the Shift of the
Mean.

Six- Sigma : DMAIC Cycle &
Application
Dr. Walter A. Shewhart, a statistician with Bell
Laboratories, first developed the concept of a ‘continuous
improvement cycle’ in the 1920’s.
This cycle, which is referred to as the PDSA cycle (or the
PDCA cycle as Deming called it), consists of the following
steps designed to improve a process:
 Plan how to make changes in the process based on
data that has been collected.
 Do what you have planned on a trial basis.
 Study (or Check in PDCA) the results of the trial to
determine the effect of the change.
 Act on the results observed by taking action or by
standardizing the improvement.

The PDSA cycle was developed to decrease the gap
between process performance and customer expectations.
Unfortunately, the PDSA cycle lacks tools and methods
often needed to tackle more complicated problems.
The Six-Sigma version of the PDSA cycle is referred to
as the DMAIC process.

 The project improves an existing process (a
series of activities that creates some sort of
output/result for internal or external
customers.)
 The project attacks quality issues ( defects,
scrap, rejects, returns, rework, customer
complaints, warranty costs, late receivables,
lost business, lost time, excess inventory,
unplanned expediting, data redundancy,
product nonconformance) •
 The project attacks waste issues (excess
transportation, inventory, excess motion,
excess wait time, over-production, over-
processing, defects, underutilized skills of
workforce)
 The project attacks cycle time, throughput,
transactional, or hand-off issues
 The project focuses on processes that affect
what the customer views as valuable.
 The project attacks highly variable process
outputs or processes that have excessive
“firefighting” by management, or are only
resolved by throwing money at the
symptoms.
 Increasing yield of product production
through sub-process optimization with
benefit of Rs. 800,0000 /year by JUL 2018.
 Reduce products rework/downgraded volume
by creating error-proofing device to the
process with benefit of Rs.200,0000 /year by
JAN 2018.
 Reduce lead time for license registration from
10 working days to 7 working days by
streamlining the process with soft benefit of
30 manhour/month by MAR 2018.
 Reduce number of transaction for HR process
from average 2,000 transactions/month to
1,000 transactions/month by streamlining the
process with benefit of Rs.2,00000/month by
MAY2018.
 Reducing the number of errors for XYZ team
to 0.5%
 Ensure that 90% of the jobs do not require
reworking for XYZ team
 Reduce sloppy errors to 1 per week day
 Achieve a utilization of 75% across production
lines in XYZ
 Achieve an overall internal quality target 98%
for the client in ABC
 Improve the updating process of the client's
databaseAchieve 80% capability among
production staff to function at priority level
 Increase through-put by removing unitization
QC process Reducing the timeline of roll-out
of new process

  • 43. Dr. Walter A. Shewhart, a statistician with Bell Laboratories, first developed the concept of a ‘continuous improvement cycle’ in the 1920’s. This cycle, which is referred to as the PDSA cycle (or the PDCA cycle as Deming called it), consists of the following steps designed to improve a process:  Plan how to make changes in the process based on data that has been collected.  Do what you have planned on a trial basis.  Study (or Check in PDCA) the results of the trial to determine the effect of the change.  Act on the results observed by taking action or by standardizing the improvement. 4 3
  • 44. The PDSA cycle was developed to decrease the gap between process performance and customer expectations. Unfortunately, the PDSA cycle lacks tools and methods often needed to tackle more complicated problems.
  • 45. The Six-Sigma version of the PDSA cycle is referred to as the DMAIC process. 4 5 Measure Define AnalyzeImprove Control
