Methodology of six sigma

Overview of this methodology

Six Sigma Methodology
A data-driven approach and methodology for process improvement, quality
management, and reducing defects or errors in various business processes.
 Introduction
Six Sigma is a data-driven
approach and methodology
for process improvement, The term "Six Sigma" refers to
quality management, and 02 a level of quality that strives to
reducing defects or errors in have fewer than 3.4 defects per
various business processes. million opportunities.

many organizations. 04 problem-solving and
improvement.
Define

01 Define the scope of the project and set clear objectives. What
is the problem, and what is its impact on the business?

02 Identify the problem or opportunity for improvement. This

involves understanding the customer's requirements and
expectations.
Measure
● Collect data related to the process under
investigation. This data can be used to quantify
the problem and establish a baseline
performance level.
● Define key performance indicators (KPIs) and
metrics to measure the process.
Analyze

01 Use various statistical tools and techniques to pinpoint areas

of concern and potential improvement opportunities.

02 Analyze the data to identify the root causes of defects or errors

in the process.
Improve

problem. process redesign to make
improvements.
 Control

Put in place controls and

monitoring systems to ensure
that the improvements are

sustained over time.
02 Develop standard operating
procedures (SOPs) and
control charts to maintain
the desired level of quality.

Implement ongoing monitoring 03

and auditing to prevent the
problem from recurring.
DMAIC and DMADV
● The Six Sigma methodology is typically
structured around the DMAIC and DMADV
frameworks.
● DMAIC is used for process improvement and
problemsolving.
● DMADV (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design,
Verify) is applied to design new processes or
products with a focus on achieving highquality
outcomes from the start.
Tools and Techniques
● Six Sigma practitioners often use a set of tools and techniques, such as statistical
analysis, process mapping, root cause analysis, regression analysis, and hypothesis
testing to guide the improvement process.
Goal and Benefits
● The goal of Six Sigma is to reduce process variability and eliminate defects, ultimately
leading to improved customer satisfaction and cost savings.
