It was introduced by engineers Bill Smith & Mikel J Harry while working at Motorola in 1986.[1][2] Jack Welch made it central to his business strategy at General Electric in 1995.It seeks to improve the quality of the output of a process by identifying and removing the causes of defects and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes. afaulkner3 https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176664235 2017-06-16 13:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176664235 It uses a set of quality management methods, mainly empirical, statistical methods, and creates a special infrastructure of people within the organization who are experts in these methods. Each Six Sigma project carried out within an organization follows a defined sequence of steps and has specific value targets, for example: reduce process cycle time, reduce pollution, reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction, and increase profits. afaulkner3 https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176664643 2017-06-16 13:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176664643 The term Six Sigma (capitalized because it was written that way when registered as a Motorola trademark on December 28, 1993) originated from terminology associated with statistical modeling of manufacturing processes. afaulkner3 https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176664714 2017-06-16 13:18:41 UTC https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176664714 The maturity of a manufacturing process can be described by a sigma rating indicating its yield or the percentage of defect-free products it creates. A six sigma process is one in which 99.99966% of all opportunities to produce some feature of a part are statistically expected to be free of defects afaulkner3 https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176664773 2017-06-16 13:19:11 UTC https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176664773 (3.4 defective features per million opportunities). Motorola set a goal of "six sigma" for all of its manufacturing operations, and this goal became a by-word for the management and engineering practices used to achieve it. afaulkner3 https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176664797 2017-06-16 13:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176664797 D – Define Phase: Define the project goals and customer (internal and external) deliverables. afaulkner3 https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176664964 2017-06-16 13:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176664964 M – Measure Phase: Measure the process to determine current performance; quantify the problem. afaulkner3 https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176665014 2017-06-16 13:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176665014 A – Analyze Phase: Analyze and determine the root cause(s) of the defects. afaulkner3 https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176665044 2017-06-16 13:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176665044 I – Improve Phase: Improve the process by eliminating defects. afaulkner3 https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176665083 2017-06-16 13:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176665083 C – Control Phase: Control future process performance. afaulkner3 https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176665131 2017-06-16 13:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176665131 https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176972301 Each Six Sigma project carried out within an organization follows a defined sequence of steps and has specific value targets, for example: reduce process cycle time, reduce pollution, reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction, and increase profits]]> 2017-06-20 11:58:36 UTC https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176972301 Six sigma green belts. edscott279 https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176973269 Are employees who spend some of their time on process improvement teams analyzing and improving quality where possible.]]> 2017-06-20 12:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176973269 Yellow, green, black & red belts are the heirachy of management with red being at the top and able to teach lean six sigma. edscott279 https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176975040 2017-06-20 12:24:52 UTC https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/176975040 belts in six sigma https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/178467961 2017-07-11 11:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/178467961 https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/178467987 2017-07-11 11:24:33 UTC https://padlet.com/afaulkner3/xxdy1kbdyqk3/wish/178467987
