(The 5 Key Principles of Six Sigma)
This is based on the popular belief that the “customer is the king.” The primary goal is to bring maximum benefit to the customer.
Focus on the Customer
This is based on the popular belief that the “______________.”
customer is the king
(The 5 Key Principles of Six Sigma)
Map the steps in a given process to determine areas of waste. Gather data to discover the specific problem area that is to be addressed or transformed.
Have clearly defined goals for data collection including defining the data to be collected, the reason for the data gathering, insights expected, ensuring the accuracy of measurements, and establishing a standardized data collection system.
Measure the Value Stream and Find your Problem
(The 5 Key Principles of Six Sigma)
Once the problem is identified, make changes to the process to eliminate variation, thus removing defects.
Remove the activities in the process that do not add to the customer value.
Get Rid of the Junk
(The 5 Key Principles of Six Sigma)
Involve all stakeholders. Adopt a structured process where your team contributes and collaborates with their varied expertise for problem-solving.
Keep the Ball Rolling
(The 5 Key Principles of Six Sigma)
The essence of Six Sigma is business transformation and change. When a faulty or inefficient process is removed, it calls for a change in the work practice and employee approach
Ensure a Flexible and Responsive Ecosystem
(The Six Sigma Methodology)
It is a data-driven method used to improve existing products or services for better customer satisfaction
DMAIC
. It is the acronym for the five phases: D – Define, M – Measure, A – Analyze, I – Improve, and C – Control.
DMAIC
(The Six Sigma Methodology)
It is applied in the manufacturing of a product or delivery of a service
DMAIC
(The Six Sigma Methodology)
It is part of the Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) process used to design or re-design different processes of product manufacturing or service delivery
DMADV
The five phases of DMADV are?
D – Define, M – Measure, A – Analyse, D – Design, V – Validate.
(The Six Sigma Methodology)
It is employed when existing processes do not meet customer conditions, even after optimization, or when it is required to develop new methods
DMADV
(The Six Sigma Techniques)
It is the key process of any problem-solving method
Brainstorming
(The Six Sigma Techniques)
It is often utilized in the “improve” phase of the DMAIC methodology
Brainstorming
(The Six Sigma Techniques)
This technique helps to get to the root cause of the problems under consideration
Root Cause Analysis/ The 5 whys
(The Six Sigma Techniques)
It is used in the “analyze” phase of the DMAIC cycle.
Root Cause Analysis/ The 5 whys
(The Six Sigma Techniques)
This is the process used to capture the “voice of the customer” or customer feedback by either internal or external means. The technique is aimed at giving the customer the best products and services. It captures the changing needs of the customer through direct and indirect methods.
Voice of the Customer
(The Six Sigma Techniques)
This technique has its roots in the Japanese principle of workplace energies. The 5S System is aimed at removing waste and eliminating bottlenecks from inefficient tools, equipment, or resources in the workplace.
5S System
is aimed at removing waste and eliminating bottlenecks from inefficient tools, equipment, or resources in the workplace.
The 5S System
The five steps in the 5S system are
Seiri(Sort), Seiton(Set In Order), Seiso(Shine),Seiketsu(Standardize),and Shitsuke(Sustain).
(The Six Sigma Techniques)
A powerful strategy that powers a continuous engine for business improvement. It is the practice of continuously monitoring, identifying, and executing improvements. This is a particularly useful practice for the manufacturing sector
Kaizen (Continuous Improvement)
(The Six Sigma Techniques)
The technique employs a set standard of measurement. It involves making comparisons with other businesses to gain an independent appraisal of the given situation.
Benchmarking
(The Six Sigma Techniques)
This technique’s name comes from the Japanese phrase meaning “to avoid errors,” and entails preventing the chance of mistakes from occurring.
Poka-yoke (Mistake Proofing)
(The Six Sigma Techniques)
In this technique, employees spot and remove inefficiencies and human errors during the manufacturing process.
Poka-yoke (Mistake Proofing)
(The Six Sigma Techniques)
The _______technique charts the current flow of materials and information to design a future project
Value Stream Mapping
(The Six Sigma Techniques)
The objective is to remove waste and inefficiencies in the value stream and create leaner operations.
