Why Project Identification – Definition Is So Critical

• Management should only apply resources to

activities that support the business objectives

• Management should only spend time onactivities that support the business objectives

• Poor project selection/definition is the #1

reason for poor Six Sigma results• Project success is the true validation of your 

Six Sigma endeavor 

Maintaining a project pipeline is theengine for Six Sigma success!

Project Identification Continuum

• Discrete projects are identified and chosen by Black Belts

• Management brainstorms and identifies projects

• Projects are selected from a brainstormed list and mappedback to the strategic goals of the firm

• Strategic goals are determined and projects Flow Down fromthese goals based on available data

• Strategic goals are determined and a statistical relationshipis used to describe how the strategic goal is improved bycompleting the project

Project Identification Approaches

Project Identificationa. Performance-to-Plan

b. Organic bubble up ideas

Based on the Project Selection Continuum, choice “a” by itself is themore desirable method because there is direct line of sight to a

 performance metric.

Either way, these projects must still support the Business Plan! 

a. A project may be identified based on the organizational goals; as theactual performance is measured against the plan, or 

b. It may not be strategic in nature, but is a good idea and will save moneyor improve customer/employee satisfaction.

Using Graphs To IdentifyProject Opportunities

• See the following 3 pages

• Data was plotted on a run from pages out of the monthly operationsreview. The review had a back up slide showing causes.

• Make sure you capture the persons name who identified the opportunityso you can refer to them when questions arise

• The project was entered in the “project portfolio spreadsheet” 

• A Project Charter was written to improve the process

- The following pages were printed and stapled to the charter for reference

Historical Data Pitfalls

• History does not always repeat itself so be aware that some of the ideas

you find may not yield a project

• Be sensitive to the Process Owners. We may be pointing outmanagement issues, e.g., failure to meet budget or perform to a givenschedule. Choose your words carefully!

• Data integrity issues- There is not enough time to do an analysis of the measurement system

(MSA) used to collect the data. You may think you hit a big processproblem when, in fact, their process is good and their data is bad.

Black Belt Training Projects

• 70% reduction in defects is a typical goal

• Projects, especially first projects, should:

- Have high priority

- Include opportunities to learn and apply the appropriate tools

- Have a high probability of success, but solution is unknown- Have commitment of resources

- Focus on processes with frequent units and defects

- Have a measurement system in place

- Be executable in 4-6 months

- Be tightly focused with a precise defect definition

Pro ect Selection Matrix - Desirabilit

•  A Rating Matrix may be used to select individual projects

• Select the Factors that are of importance to your organization and rate howimportant they are in defining the desirability of a project. These desirabilityratings may be modified as times and conditions require.

• The individual projects are then rated against the Factors, these values aremultiplied by the desirability ratings and then summed for each project

Project Identificat ion, Selection, And Scoping Pg 24

Project Scoping

• At the end of the project selection process we frequently have a Project

“Cluster” or “Area” as apposed to a precisely scoped project 

• In these cases, Project Scoping is the process that takes us from thegeneric to the specific

• Project Scoping minimizes the risks associated with improperly

scoped projects

Project Scoping is an intermediate step between theselection of a general project and the formal

“definition” of the project to be physically worked.

Project Scoping

• The scope of a project refers to boundaries of the process and/or 

the problem

• It is primarily the Project Sponsor‟s responsibility to define the initial scope

but the Black Belt and the Process Owner may be involved due to their closer involvement with the actual processes

Guidelines:• Brainstorm the start and end points of the process

- What will and will not be addressed?

• Evaluate potential issues vs. sphere of influence

- Are the boundaries within your control (organizationally)?

• Avoid scope creep

 A Critical Component To Success – Scope

• If we have too large a scope (boi l the ocean o r end world hung er) we 

wi l l fai l to accom pl ish the pro ject on t ime 

• If we have too small a sco pe the Return On Investm ent (ROI) may no t 

 jus t ify the pro jec t 

• Examples of poor scoping:

- Reduce total Work In Progress (WIP) inventory (what if sales volume

goes up?)

- Increase overall efficiency of General Merchandise Warehouse Flow(Labor or design issue or invoicing issue or Cycle Time or defects or…) 

• Better scope:

- Reduce excess WIP inventory on list of high volume/high cost product asdetermined by weekly deltas between actual inventory and plannedinventory, e.g., adjusted for volume, time of year 

- Reduce fulfillment rework of General Merchandise due to defects onthe invoices

Scoping The Project

Having quantified or estimated the baseline performance and compared it

against our goals/needs (a gap analysis):• Which gaps/issues should be addressed first?

• Should the project consist of resolving all of the gaps?

- If we have 5 characteristics in a process, is the project focused

on the one with the most defects, or the most costly defects, or ALLof them?

• Can/should the project be phased into 2 or more projects?

- For the same Black Belt?

- Should additional Black Belt resources be assigned?

• If the project can logically be broken into several complete integralstand-alone projects, the scope is probably too large

Note that Selecting and Scoping are closely related.Consider Scoping to be the fine tuning of the selection process.

• These slides provide guidelines for scoping projects

• Much of your knowledge will develop as you obtain and analyze the data – This is critical

• SIPOC will be introduced

 A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Words

• Once we have selected our general project, it is highly recommended

that we create a Process Map to assist in our scoping and later our definition of the final project

- There are many types of charts, some of which are taught inother modules

- We will introduce 1 chart here, the SIPOC

- It is meant to be a high-level Process Map

- It clearly defines the customer (needed for definition)

- It helps identify the gaps between the process outputs and thecustomer requirements (scoping and focusing the project)

- It breaks the process down into macro steps which assists in scopingand focusing the project

• The SIPOC is useful throughout the early phases of the project, e.g., itidentifies suppliers of the process inputs

Background Information

• Why work on this project?

- Resolves a difficult business problem for the last time

- This business problem has clear linkage to the goals of the business 

This is the link between Project Selection and Project Definition:We need to know for whom we are doing the project, why we

are doing the project, i.e., what is important.Then we may proceed to define the project in detail.

Six Sigma Academy International, LLC All rights reserved; for use only in compliance with SSA license. Project Identificat ion, Selection, And Scoping Pg 41

Typical Issues With Problem Statements

• Problem does not link to Voice Of Customer (no CTS link)

• Scope of problem too large/too small(refer back to criticality of proper scoping)

• Problem poorly defined or not quantifiable/vague

• Quantification based on anecdotal information

• Includes $ as the defect

- Save $250K on assembly line 1

• Stated as predetermined solution instead of as problem

- $250K on assembly line 1 by replacing old equipment

Problem Statement Drill Down(Example 1)

Problem Statement: The Winding Operation Functional Test defect rateas based on specification AA-21 and as measured for the quarter ending

Dec. 02 is 12% (120,000 DPMO). Benchmark is 1% (10,000 DPMO).

Winding operation AA1 has too high afallout rate, i.e., too low a yield.

Over the last quarter, defects on the“Operation Functional Test” (Spec AA-21) has been 12% compared

to best-in-class of 1%.

Note that all products in this area arefrom the same family and use thesame processes.

Problem Statement Drill Down(Example 2)

We are receiving customer complaints over late shipments.

The average XYZ order shipped during thisperiod was 6.5 days late with a standarddeviation of 4.5 days.

Our internal benchmark/allowance is 5% late.

Problem Statement: Product XYZ orders for the past 6 months (1st and2nd quarter 02), have shipped an average of 6.5 days late with a StDev of 

4.5 days = 925,700 DPMO vs. standard of 50,000 DPMO.

Most of the complaints about late shipments over the last 6 months have involved Product XYZ.

Problem Statement Drill Down(Example 3)

Customers take too long to pay us.

Of those who do not pay on time, 68% claim it is dueto a discrepancy between the work order andthe invoice.

Data that was gathered over the last 3 quartersending Sep 02 showed 55 days on the average.

Problem Statement: Over the last 3 quarters ending Sept 02, of the 45%of our XYZ customers that take more than 65 days to pay, 68% of them

delay due to a discrepancy between the work order and the invoice.

45% of our XYZ customers take more than 65 daysfrom the final billing date to pay us.

Problem StatementScope Discussion (1)

• Note that this defect is an amalgamation of 3 separate defects

• We may consider this 1 project or 3• If we cannot collect data on the defects by characteristic, we have only

1 project

- This implies a less than perfect relationship between a root causeand the measured output (defect)

- Example: If a fix is put in that entirely eliminated the surface finishdefects, but at the same time diameter defects increased significantly(for whatever reasons), the improvement to surface finish or theoverall defect reduction will not be seen

Problem Statement: The B hole in the Large Widget product family has

for the year ended Dec 02 exhibited a defect rate of 10% (100,000DPMO) based on inspection of the 3 key characteristics

(location, diameter, and surface finish).

Problem StatementScope Discussion (2)

• If the list of potential Xs for each of the 3 key outputs are essentially thesame, it may be beneficial to consider this as 1 project, e.g.,

- Quality of part material, drill, and drill grind affect all

- Speeds and feeds of tool affect all

- Rigidity and quality of machine tool and holding fixture affect all

• Even if we consider this as 1 project and therefore have only 1 projectDPMO, it is still highly advisable to collect defect data by characteristic

• Note also the use of the word “defect”. We are not trying to reduce scrap,

we are trying to reduce scrap AND rework (may be a hidden factory)

Problem Statement: The B hole in the Large Widget product family has

for the year ended Dec 02 exhibited a defect rate of 10% (100,000 DPMO)based on inspection of 3 key characteristics

(location, diameter, and surface finish).

Six Sigma Academy International, LLC All rights reserved; for use only in compliance with SSA license. Project Identificat ion, Selection, And Scoping Pg 47

Project Metrics

• Include Units of Measure

• Indicate where collected

• MUST BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PROJECT DEFECT

• The measurement system capability will be verified as part of the project

• Recall, our process outputs are our customers inputs

• Ask the customer to provide an “operational definition” for their metrics - A common understanding of when and how metrics are measured is

often needed to eliminate ambiguities

- Example: Delivery of product to customers

• We measure when the product leaves shipping• Customer measures

- When it arrives on their dock or 

- They may not measure delivery until product is in their inventory

The CTSs And The Defect Definitions

Six Sigma Academy International, LLC All rights reserved; for use only in compliance with SSA license. Project Identificat ion, Selection, And Scoping Pg 48

The CTSs And The Defect Definitions

CTS

• The Problem Definition needs to include the CTSs that you areaddressing (providing a CT Tree or matrix as an attached reference isgenerally of value)

Defect Definition

• The project needs to have its Defect Definition CLEARLY established- It must be aligned to the CTSs

- It must be CONCISE

- It must clearly establish what makes the result good or bad, asdefined by the customer 

-It is what will define our DPMO

• DMAIC is a FIND-and-FIX approach- If you do not have defects (DPMO), you cannot reduce them

• If you do not have a Defect Definition, you don‟t have defects
