1. Lean
- Six Sigma is very useful when the root causes or factors driving
performance are unknown.
- The underlying premise of Six Sigma is the equation Y equals f of
x. Or Y is a function of x. Data is used to understand, analyze,and
the determine the key Xs that have the biggest impact on the
performance of Y. In other words, what are the key Xs in the
equation Y is a function of x? By knowing which Xs impact
outcome Y, you can control the Xs to achieve the outcome you
want.

- The champion and the project leader will launch the project with
the kick-off meeting. The charter is presented and expectations
for project participation and support are established.
- The team will be involved with developing or confirming the
SIPOC diagram. The SIPOC diagram identifies and illustrates at a
high level processes relevant to the project, inputs and outputs
involved, those that supply those process inputs and those who
receive processed outputs as customers. Some SIPOC diagrams
include a list of CTQs or critical to quality requirements relevant
to processes within the scope of the project.
- The project leader will then conduct a stakeholder analysis to
identify whose support and buy-in are critical during the course
of the project and how best to involve them. A communication
plan will also be developed to engage process owners and other
key stakeholders.
-The project leader will need your help to quantity the cost of
waste, COPQ, or the cost of poor quality that is targeted by the
project.
+ Quantify the expected benefits of the project or the
operational impact and the financial impact.
+ Have someone from the accounting or finance department to
help monetize the expected one-time cost savings and any
recurring savings.
