Cost of Poorly Performing Processes (CP3)
Sigma (σ) is a measure of “perfection” relating to process
performance capability … the “bigger the better.”
A process operating at a “Six Sigma” level produces only
3.4 defects per million opportunities (DPMO) for a defect.
Without dedication of significant and appropriate attention to
a process, most processes in leading U.S. companies operate
at a level between 3 and 4 sigma.
Why is Six Sigma Important?
• Based on teachings of Dr. Walter Shewhart, Dr. W. E. Deming & Dr. J. Juran.
• Process Control;
• Plan Do Check Act;
• Common and Special Causes;
• Improvement can be done project by project
• Statistical tools
• Hawthorne Plant Experiences
• Developed by Bill Smith at Motorola in 1980s
What is Six Sigma ?
Six Sigma
� Is a management methodology
• Customer focused
• Data driven decisions
• Breakthrough performance gains
• Validated bottom line results
JURAN SAID…
�“All quality improvement occurs on a project-by-project basis and in no other way.”
Who is Implementing Six Sigma
� At least 25% of the fortune 200 claim to have a serious six sigma program - Michael Hammer.
� Financial - Bank of America, GE Capital, Electronics - Allied Signal, Samsung, Sony
� Chemicals - Dupont, Dow Chemicals� Manufacturing - GE Plastics, Johnson and Johnson,
Motorola, Nokia, Microsoft, Ford.� Airline - Singapore, Lufthansa, Bombardier� And hundreds of others in Americas, Europe, Sub
Continent.

Measure and Analyze
� Driver and Distance identified as key factors influencing delivery performance.
� Driver selected for focus.
� Potential root causes as to why Driver influenced the time:
� Size of the vehicle
� Type of engine
� Type of tyres
� Fuel capacity
� Experiments designed and conducted using truck type and tyre size.
� Findings:� Larger tyres took longer time at certain routes
where area was cramped and time lost in maneuvering.
� High incidence of tyre failures since tight turns led to stress on tyres thus increasing number of flat tyres.
� Team modified planning of dispatch process by routing smaller trucks at more restrictive areas.
Improve
� Test implementation.� Process sigma level up from 2.43 or 175889 DPMO to 3.94
or 7353 DPMO. � Performance still fell short of best in class 4.32 or 2400
DPMO. � Improvement led to significant customer satisfaction. � Process continually monitored and data on new cycle times,
tyre failure collected as per defined methods and frequency, analysed and monitored.
� Customer satisfaction measured and monitored.

Some Common Challenges in
Implementation� Define
� Difficulty in identifying the right project and defining the scope;
� Difficulty in applying statistical parameters to Voice of the Customers;
� Trouble with setting the right goals;
� Measure
� Inefficient data gathering;
� Lack of measures;
� Lack of speed in execution;
Some Common Challenges in
Implementation
� Analyse
� Challenge of identifying best practices� Overuse of statistical tools/ under use of practical
knowledge� Challenge of developing hypotheses
� Improve
� Challenge of developing ideas to remove root causes� Difficulty of implementing solutions
� Control
� Lack of follow up by Managers/ Process Owners� Lack of continuous Voice of the Customer feedback� Failure to institutionalize continuous improvement.
Points to remember…
� “ Define “ ranked most important step but often gets the lowest resource allocation
� Project scoping and its definition is critical to its success/ failure;
� “Measure” is considered most difficult step and also gets the highest resources

Benefits of Six Sigma
� Generates sustained success
� Sets performance goal for everyone
� Enhances value for customers;
� Accelerates rate of improvement;
� Promotes learning across boundaries;
� Executes strategic change
Which Business Function Needs It?
As long as there is a process that produces an output, whether it isa manufactured product, data, an invoice, etc…, we can apply the
Six Sigma Breakthrough Strategy. For these processes to performto a customer standard they require correct inputs!!!
