• Provides a framework for understanding the history of the quality movement.
• Expands the definition of quality. •
Juran’s Definition of Quality
Defined as “fitness for use” based on:
• Customer’s perceptions of product design. • Degree to which a product conforms to
design.
• Product’s availability, reliability, and maintainability.
ISO Definition of Quality
• Degree to which a set of characteristics fulfills requirements Requiremen ts: Convenienc e and speed
Crosby’s Definition of Quality
• Quality is conformance to requirements. • Requirements are answers to key
organizational questions:
–How quickly will orders ship? –What is our return policy?
–What forms of payment are acceptable?
Quality Evolution: Medieval Guilds
Guilds:

What is Lean Six Sigma?
Introduction
• Six Sigma goal is process perfection through defect reduction.
• Lean goal is cycle time reduction through elimination of waste.
“Only those companies that eliminate their defects will have what it takes to win.”
“Breakthrough companies strive for 100 percent DEFECT-FREE products and services.”
Larry Bossidy
CEO of AlliedSignal
What is Six Sigma?
Methodology and Improvement Strategy
• Six Sigma is an overall strategy to accelerate improvements in processes, products, and services–create breakthrough.
• Six Sigma measures how effective strategies are in eliminating defects and variations from processes, products, and services.
= Y + x3 …) x2, + ... + f(x1,
Process output (Y) is a function of (f) the inputs (Xs).
Understanding and controlling this relationship is a major aspect of Six Sigma projects.
Focus on Variation
• Sigma (σ) refers to standard deviation, a measure of process variation (smaller is better).
• Process Sigma is the number of units of standard deviations between the process center and the closest specification limit (larger is better).
• A Six Sigma process has six standard deviations (short term) between the target and the closest specification limit.
6 Sigma Upper Spec Lower Spec 6 Standard Deviations Target Upper Control Lower

Sorting Projects from Messes
• A
mess
is a morass of unsettling
symptoms, causes, data, pressures,
shortfalls, opportunities, etc.
• A
problem
is a well-defined situation that is
capable of resolution
• Identifying a
problem
from within the
mess
is frequently the first step in the process
of project definition
Project Qualifications
• There is a gap between current and
desired performance.
• The cause of the problem is not clearly
understood.
• The solution is not predetermined.
•
Project Selection is Critical
• High leverage projects lead to largest $$ Savings • Large returns justify the investment in time and
effort
• Developing a Lean Six Sigma culture depends upon successful projects having significant business impact
• Black Belt training depends on completion of a meaningful project within ~ 6 months
• Future Projects are frequently identified through initial projects
Lean Six Sigma Project Criteria
• Aligned with business objectives and plans– Voice of Customer/ Critical to Satisfaction (CTS) – Quality (CTQ) / Cost (CTC) / Delivery (CTD)
• Consistent with principles of Six Sigma – Elimination of process defects
– Reduction of variation
• Concentrates on significant issues/opportunities ... not “problem of the day”
• Justify the investment •
Project Selection
“The best Six Sigma projects begin not inside the business but outside it, focused on the
question — how can we make the customer more competitive? What is critical to the
customer’s success? … One thing we have discovered is that anything we do to make the customer more successful inevitably results in a financial return to us.”
Jack Welch
Address to the General Electric annual meeting April 23, 1997
What is Customer Satisfaction?
• A comparison of expectation to
experience
• A matter of degree
• A result of a good match between
supply and demand
• A predictor of repeat business
•
Y
• Projects are identified by the relationship between
product, service, or deliverable requirements and processes. • The process parameters that affect the requirements
are later identified(X
1, X2, … Xn)
Customer needs are translated into product, service or deliverable requirements in terms of quality, delivery and cost. The “Y” of Y=f(X).
• Leverage processes are identified.
Breakdown of the processes required to produce the product, service, or deliverable.

Factors that Improve Project Success
• Dedicated Black Belt
• Champion phase reviews
• Black Belt has knowledge of
process/product to be improved
• Historic data
• Clearly defined deliverables
• Committed process owners (skin in the
game) with the authority to modify the
process

Project Metrics – Success Criteria
Primary Metric
• Used to measure project success
• Consistent with the problem description and objective
• Plotted on a time series graph and shows the goal and actual performance lines
Secondary Metric(s)
• Control unintended negative consequence (assures the Primary Metric is not achieved artificially)
• May be used to measure project progress when the Primary Metric responds slowly
• More than one may be required
• Plotted on a time series graph and shows the goal and actual performance lines
Project Charter
Traditionally created by LSS Champion
Specifies details of a project including:
1.Scope
2.Responsibilities 3.Benefits
4.Schedule
5.Success criteria
A project charter template that may be adopted to fit your organization is: Project Charter Template.
SIPOC
Supplier, Input, Process, Output, Customer diagrams
are used to:
1.Define the scope of the project 2.Identify key stakeholders
3.Gain a “30,000 foot” view of the process targeted by the project
Tips:
1.The SIPOC is the first of several ways the
process will be documented. Therefore, it should be at a relatively high level of
abstraction.
2.It is a good way to assure agreement on the scope of the project.
SIPOC Diagram – Questions to Answer
• Who are the customers of this process? • What are their requirements?
• How are those requirements reflected in the process parameters (output measures)? • What are the process outputs?
• What are the process inputs that cause the outputs?
• What controls are in place for the inputs?
• Who are the suppliers of the material for this process?
Purpose of Various Diagrams / Maps
• SIPOC diagrams provide a “forest view” of the process – maintains focus on the customer’s requirements.
• Value stream “trees level” describes the time, effort, resources, and information used in the process – a frequent source of early wins.
• Lay-out diagram (spaghetti diagram) documents the distance an item travels during its production – illustrates unnecessary movement.
• Process map “ground level” documents the inputs and outputs of each step in the process –
provides the raw material for building a model of the process.
The SIPOC Diagram – The Forest Level
• Start with the end in mind.
• Who are the customers of this process? • What are their requirements?
• How are those requirements reflected in the process parameters (output measures)? • What are the process outputs?
• What are the process inputs that cause the outputs?
• What controls are in place for the inputs?
• Who are the suppliers of the material for this process?
Sample SIPOC
Supplier(s) Inputs/Req'ts Process Output(s)/Req'ts Customer(s)
Grocery store Utility Company Appliance store Coffee machine Measuring cup Electricity Qualified operator Water Filters Cream/milk Sweetener Ground coffee 1800 Specified number of cups No grounds < one hour old Dark Hot Aromatic Fresh Strong Husband Wife Guest Install filter Measure coffee Add coffee Add Water Turn on machine
SIPOC Validation
Review the SIPOC with your: team,
Champion and process owner(s) to assure
agreement on the SIPOC content as well
as the project scope and success criteria
among all stakeholders.

Collecting VoC
• Who is a customer?
• What does the customer need?
– Gathering the Voice of the Customer – Define customer requirements
• How do the customers prioritize their needs?
• How are customer needs translated into CTQs?
uGenerally a less intense exercise for DMAIC projects than for
DFSS projects
uMore likely to be based on information that is already

Voice of
Customer Step Step Step
Product/ Service
Customer
Who Is a Customer?
A customer sets/affects requirements for your product or service.
External
Buying customers End-users
Regulatory agencies
A customer is one who receives your output. Internal
Customer Segmentation
•Generally, external customer needs are more important than internal customer needs.
•Are all customers equally important? –External vs. internal –Customer segments •Regions •Type of business •Volumes •Profitability •Strategic market •Future potential •
Voice of the Customer
• The Voice of the Customer (VOC) is the
starting point of any project and data
collection plan.
• The Voice of the Customer includes:
– Expectations – Requirements – Opinions
Questions to Find Voice of the Customer
• What are the elements of your business that are the most critical, from the perspective of your top or best customers? What are their relevant needs?
• What data has been collected to understand the customer requirements?
• How do you operationally define the defect from the perspective of the customer? Under what conditions does it occur?
Voice of the Customer Concerns
• Real vs. stated needs
• Perceived needs
• Intended vs. actual usage
• Internal customers vs. external customers
• Effectiveness vs. efficiency needs
Determining Customer Requirements
• Use verbatim comments from customers to
help determine the key customer
requirements
– We often receive many verbal comments from our customers.
– We need to look for ways to probe for
deeper meaning behind the comments in order to translate these comments into what the customer actually requires.
Tools for Gathering Voice of the Customer
Unsolicited data from customers
– Complaints – Field reports – Trade journals – Benchmarking – Internal research • Requirements documents • Contracts • Customer observation • Be a customer
•
Tools for Gathering VOC
Solicited data from customers
– Interviews
– Focus groups – Surveys
– Informal customer discussions – Market research
Determining Customer Requirements
• Review customer verbatim comments and comparative data
• If possible, probe for deeper understanding • Convert into terms of process performance • Describe the actual customer requirement
– Write the requirement, not the solution – Use measurable terms
– Identify performance targets – Be concise
Define Phase Review
• The purpose of the define phase is to identify and launch a project.
• VOC should be reflected in the project charter especially in the project success criteria.
• The Black Belt and Champion should review and agree on the details of the project charter and SIPOC.
• A common cause of project failure is poorly
defined or projects with excessive scope. This review is an opportunity to mitigate that risk.

Graphs represent data pictorially. A picture can see what 1000 words can not tell.
Bar Chart
Bar graphs are parallel bars of identical width but differing
length to compare size of different quantities / things.
Line Chart
Line graphs manifest the overall trend in time series data
by direction of their lines.
Pie charts makes it easy to grasp the breakdown of the
components of a quantity over a certain period.

Bimodal & Truncated
Bimodal : Two combined populations-- two shifts, operators, inspectors, suppliers, machine settings, gages, tools, machines, measurement locations, etc.
Truncated: This can happen when a process is not capable of meeting the specifications, parts are sorted from both ends, or too few classes are chosen.
Missing Centre Spike's at Tail (s)
Missing Centre : Centre of the distribution has been sorted from the rest. Portion may have been delivered to a customer with tighter specifications.
Spike's) at the Tail (s) : Parts in outer ends of distribution are probably being reworked to bring characteristic just within specifications.

v
Special Causes
Common Cause
vConsists of combined effect of several sources of uncontrollable variation inherent to a process. vCollective influence of common cause variation
defines natural process fluctuation and is known as Chance causes of variation.
vProcess output is predictable
vProcess is said to be in Statistical Control
v
Special Cause
vVariation has a large impact on performance.
vDetermination of source of impact makes cause
"assignable." and is termed as
assignable cause of variation.
vIf they exist, process or key characteristic is said to be "out-of-control".

Principles of Process Management
• Establish ownership.
• Verify and describe the purpose of the process.
• Define the process, boundaries, and interfaces.
• Organize and train the process improvement team.
Principles of Process Management
• Define and document the process. • Define points of control.
• Establish process measurements. • Improve process.
Process Mapping Steps
1.IDENTIFY INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
–Identify Inputs (raw material, equipment, energy, 6M’s, etc.) –Identify Outputs (measurable/assessable end product
parameters) 3.SHOW ALL STEPS
–Value adding steps have the following characteristics:
uSomething the customer would be willing to pay for uTransforms the product or service
uDone right the first time
–Non value-added steps in the process are presented graphically:
uEvaluation points uRework points uScrap points uInventory
Steps (cont.)
3.SHOW OUTPUTS OF EACH STEP
–Show after each process step the characteristics that can impact the following step(s).
u
4.SHOW ALL PROCESS PARAMETERS AT EACH
STEP
–List under each step the parameters that can
change a product characteristic at that step (i.e., parameters that can be controlled at that step).
More Steps
N = Noise Factors - Uncontrollable - May be controllable, but are not controlled by decision.
C = Controllable factors - Process factors that can be
changed to see the effect on product characteristics.
S = Standard Operating Procedures - A procedure is used to
define and run those factors. Tooling, Fixtures. ✔
CR = Critical Factors - Determined through FMEA, DOE, etc.
5.CLASSIFY THE PARAMETERS
–Classify the process parameters identified (in #4 above) into the following categories:
INPUT
S PROCESS OUTPUTS
X’s Y’s
