Explore the basics of Lean Six Sigma, detailing how reducing variation lowers opportunities for error and drives cost reduction and higher customer satisfaction.
Explore decision making with Six Sigma tools and use the right control methods to implement changes, control processes, and reduce costs while maintaining consistent quality.
Explore how sigma levels relate to opportunities and defects, show how higher sigma yields fewer defects and higher customer satisfaction, and why keeping products at six sigma is ideal.
Learn how to calculate the six sigma level using a simple equation based on opportunities and tickets to determine the process sigma for any organization.
Embrace the customer as the core Six Sigma principle to define what they decide, tailor offerings, and prioritize development to meet current needs. Gather feedback to validate ideas before investing.
Discover the purpose of creating value streams for a process and learn how to streamline workflows, determine labor requirements, and identify supplier inputs to save time.
Identify and prioritize process opportunities, and continuously improve each step toward Six Sigma level to reduce defects and boost customer satisfaction while maintaining financial stability.
Explore how Six Sigma drives continuous improvement by reducing inherent variation in processes. Examine a call center example where agent mood, accent, and other factors influence responses.
Organizations struggle with poor project execution when implementing Six Sigma, as inexperience and reliance on hired experts lead to projects that do not go as planned.
Identify the root causes of data access issues by distinguishing captured versus manual data, ensuring accuracy, and reducing time gaps and distortions between raw data capture and analysis.
Learn how Six Sigma teams quantify faults using sigma level, downtime, and the cost to address problems, prioritize issues by severity and addressability, and periodically reassess priorities as they work.
Use Six Sigma and statistical process control to reduce costs and prevent costly errors in high-stakes scenarios, validating ideas with minimal, cost-effective testing.
Define the dmaic phase by identifying customers, requirements, and expectations, and setting project boundaries and scope. Map the process to prepare for measurement.
Improve processes through design and creative solutions to fix problems, using technology and discipline to deploy implementation flats within the Six Sigma framework.
Conclude the basics of Six Sigma, defining sigma levels and 3.4 defects in opportunities, with decision making and practical kitchen examples illustrating process efficiency and white/yellow belt basics.
In this course we will be covering Everything from the basics. We will begin with - What is Six Sigma and move onto how it helps with decision making, it's application, types of qualifications, challenges faced, advantages, when to use and also cover processes like DMAIC(Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control)
Six Sigma is a set of techniques and tools for process improvement. Sigma emphasizes cycle-time improvement while at the same time reducing manufacturing defects to a level of no more than 3.4 occurrences per million units or events.
The premise of Six Sigma is that variation in a process leads to opportunities for error; opportunities for error then lead to risks for product defects. Product defects—lead to poor customer satisfaction. By working to reduce variation and opportunities for error, the Six Sigma method ultimately reduces process costs and increases customer satisfaction.
