This workshop gives you enough know-how and tools to begin Six Sigma Implementation at your workplace straight away……….

 

Myths About Six Sigma

 

Only for Big Companies

 

Six Sigma is an excellent improvement philosophy for Large as well as Small Organizations. However, the approach in SME's needs to be different. .....click here for more info..

 

Not for Service Sector

 

Service Sector is now drawing huge benefits with Six Sigma Methodologies although it all started in the manufacturing sector. These days service sector, due to its more capable manpower at the junior management levels seems to be driving more benefits world over.

 

Huge expenses involved

 

Huge expenses are involved initially if an organisation goes for a transformational approach. With a Pilot project approach, Six Sigma can make breakthrough improvements possible with minimal expenses.

 

Massive Training required

 

Not essential at the beginning. An Organization may start with trained Green Belts and go for Black Belt training after enough gains are achieved.

 

Only for voluminous transactions

 

Six Sigma approach applies very well to any critical process irrespective of volumes or numbers associated with it.

 

Takes Years to implement

 

This is not necessary. These days no company wants to wait beyond 6-9 months for most projects. A well identified improvement project with laser focus implementation may derive results in a time frame of 3-6 months from start. It all depends on how well a problem is identified and defined.

 

Needs complicated statistics

 

Not required initially.... There are quite a few simple six sigma tools that help finding and implementing solutions to problems. Lot of breakthrough improvement is feasible with basic statistical tools that a graduate can learn and apply within days (with the help of the right software). ...and. of course he will need top management guidance and support.

 

Glimpses from Six Sigma Green Belt Training ….

 

Output vs. Input variables

Y=f(x)

Use powerful statistical tools to find out what are the actual causes of problems. Your targets /objectives need to focus on X's (Variable independent inputs like salesperson competence, database accuracy, etc.) rather than Y's (Variable Dependent Outputs like Sales). Understanding which X's impact Y's and to what extent is key to process improvement. Also, it is important to have good objectives on critical X's so that Y's can take care of themselves.............

 

Laser Focus on Improvement

 

There is no way to improve but on a project to project basis. How you define an improvement project, how you set objectives, who are the team members, which managerial and statistical tools you use, how you define the roadmap have a crucial impact on probability of success...

 

Lost Profits

 

Use the right methods and tools to unmask the hidden factory (the Fix-It Operations).

Every company has two sets of operations:

The Main Operations that market, sell, invoice, and deliver your product or service. These operations use the formula:

           Quality + Speed = Profit

The Fix -It Operations correct all of the mistakes in the Main Operations. There are always visible main operations where you measure defects and delay, and there are hidden Fix-it Operations that correct things without anyone ever knowing. The Fix-it Operations use the formula:

          Defects + Delay = Lost Profit

The Fix-it Operations may consume 25-40% of total costs, money that could be used to grow a business or improve profits.

 

Limitations of your operations

 

The best performance limits of your operations depend on two things -  Stability and Capability

 

Stability

 

A stable process produces PREDICTABLE RESULTS CONSISTENTLY. Process stability can be easily determined using control charts. A control chart is a line graph of your data. Excel based software provides you ability to draw charts with indications at the press of a key.

 

Capability

 

Processes are never perfect. Common and special causes of variation make the process perform differently in different situations. Getting from your home to takes varying amounts of time because of traffic or transportation delays. These are common causes of variation; they exist every day. A traffic accident, a two hour jam or other freak occurrence would be a special cause of variation. Processes that are "out of control" need to be stabilized before they can be improved. Special causes, require immediate cause-effect analysis to eliminate the special cause of variation………………….

 

Six Sigma Project Support.

 

On completion of the Green Belt Training, you get email support on the first project that you do. There shall be Green Belt Project Review Meeting after a quarter to discuss and enhance group knowledge through experience sharing.
