1 Operational Excellence Six Sigma Six Sigma: DMAC; Y=f(x) s it a Goal, a Measure, a Process, a Tool or an expletive deleted? mprove By Lee Olson Presentation to NFORMS

2 Objectives mprove Understand the Basics of the Six Sigma Program Understand How Six Sigma Relates to Lean, TOC, TQM (Theory Of Constraints; Total Quality Management) Ability to Define a Strategy and Roadmap for Success

3 Define mprove s it a Goal, a Measure, a Process, a Tool or an expletive deleted? Yes

4 Define mprove Six Sigma s a management methodology Customer focused Data driven decisions Breakthrough performance gains Validated bottom line results

5 Customer Focused mprove ON TME DELVERY (sample) The percentage of sales order line items that ship complete on or before the original customer promise date, for all line items shipped in the month. mportance to Customers Our Performance Compared to Competitors Shared Goals Training Quality OTD Price Complaints Complete High 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% Moderateto- Low 0% Top 5 Action tems Original Due Current Driver Action Description Status Status Description Owner Date Due Date Late Supplier Deliveries Monthly reporting to suppliers on delivery & On Report Cards mplemented.

6 Data Driven Decisions mprove Y= f (X) To get results, should we focus our behavior on the Y or X? Y Dependent Output Effect Symptom Monitor Response X1... XN ndependent nput-process Cause Problem Control Factor Why should we test or inspect Y, if we know this relationship?

7 Breakthrough performance gains mprove (Distribution Shifted ± 1.5σ) σσ PPM 2 308, , , Process Process Capability Defects Defects per per Million Million Opportunities Sigma is a statistical unit of measure which reflects process capability. The sigma scale of measure is perfectly correlated to such characteristics as defects-per-unit, parts-per million defective, and the probability of a failure/error.
