Lean Six Sigma Overview
Components of a Process?? Supplier: The provider of inputs to your process Input:
Materials, resources or data required to execute your process
Process:
A collection of activities that takes one or more kinds of input and creates output that is of value to the customer
Output:
The products or services that result from the process
Customer: The recipient of the process output – may be internal or external 4

What Can Go Wrong in a Process?? ¾ A Process may not produce the desired output leading to CUSTOMER DISSATISFACTION. ¾ The output from a process may have defects or errors in it and this leads to REWORK or REJECTION. This leads to the generation of WASTE WASTE. ¾ The produced output may be unpredictable in its ability to meet customer requirements and this is caused due to high VARIATION in a Process. ¾ The process may be unstable and this leads to generation of WASTE in the process itself © 2009, Qimpro

Lean Six Sigma Overview
What are the Implications of Variation and Waste The key deficiencies of any Process include: ¾ VARIATION ¾ WASTE
Both these deficiencies have the following implications: ¾ CUSTOMER DISSATISFACTION ¾ INCREASE IN COSTS OF DELIVERING SERVICES © 2009, Qimpro
7
How to Prevent Variation and Waste ¾ Identify Chronic Problems (diseases) in the Process ¾ Ensure that adequate Measurement Systems have been defined to accurately measure the damage i.e. Rework, Rejections, Variation, etc caused by these Chronic Problems ¾ Use structured Problem Solving Methodologies such as Six Sigma to permanently eliminate or minimize the Waste and Variation ¾ Improve the Capability of the Process to meet customer requirements Consistently at Optimized Costs © 2009, Qimpro
8
How to Achieve Process Improvement ¾ Process Deficiencies are solved by a Project by Project approach. ¾ Each Project needs to address a specific PAIN (deficiency) in the process ¾ Each Project j is a structured approach pp to Problem Solving involving the five steps; 9 Defining the Problem – Define Phase 9 Measuring the Problem – Measure Phase 9 Analyzing the Root Causes – Analyze Phase 9 Implementing the Improvements – Improve Phase 9 Sustaining the Gains – Control Phase © 2009, Qimpro

Lean Six Sigma Overview
How to Achieve Process Improvement ¾ Each Project needs to have a specific GOAL for improvement in terms of either eliminating or minimizing the deficiency. ¾ Each Project needs to be conducted by a CROSSFUNCTIONAL TEAM consisting of members b ffrom the h ffunctions i most affected ff d by the pain. ¾ Each Project needs to be TIMEBOUND
© 2009, Qimpro
10
How to Achieve Process Improvement ¾ Each Project must have a goal to generate savings as ELIMINATING OR MINIMIZING DEFICIENCIES will always REDUCE COSTS. This reduction in costs translates to SAVINGS TO THE BOTTOMLINE

What is Sigma? Sigma is used in statistics to denote standard deviation. A sigma value is used to relate the ability of a process to perform defect free work. The lower the value of Standard Deviation the better the process is performing and the lower the probability that a defect will occur.

Lean Six Sigma Overview
What is Six Sigma? ¾ The higher the Sigma Level i.e. 3σ, 4σ, etc the better the process is performing and the lower the probability that a defect will occur. ¾ At Six Sigma (6σ) level of performance the probability of a defect occurring is reduced to 3.4 out of 1 million and that is considered to be virtual perfection.

What is Sigma? Standard Deviation: Metric that displays variation from it’s “target”.
1 Std. Dev. (“Sigma”)
One standard deviation around the mean is about 68% of the total “opportunities” for meeting customer requirements! 14

25
Team Stages Forming: Forming is the beginning of team life. Members typically start out by exploring the boundaries of acceptable group behaviour.
Storming: The second stage consists of conflicts and resistance to the group’s task and structure. This is the most difficult stage for any team to work through. Team members tend to cling on to their own opinions , based on personal experience and resist seeking the opinions of others. This can lead to hurt feelings and unnecessary disputes. The role of the team facilitator / leader is crucial in this stage. © 2009, Qimpro
26
Team Stages Norming: During the third stage, a sense of group cohesion develops. Team members begin to focus more on collection and analysis of data rather than experiences. Norming takes place as the team keeps meeting routinely as per a fixed schedule and the team becomes more relaxed and steady. Norming is essential. A team cannot perform if it does not norm.
Performing: This is the payoff stage. The team begins to work effectively and cohesively towards achieving the common goal. © 2009, Qimpro

Pareto Diagrams – Key Points!
Pareto diagrams are typically used to prioritize competing or conflicting problems and to distinguish the “vital few” from the “trivial many.”
Pareto diagrams determine which of several classifications have the most count or cost associated with them.
The base data gathered must be in terms of either counts or costs.

59
Pareto Diagrams – Key Points!
Do not use terms that can't be added, such as percent yields or error rates.
Remember to use Pareto Diagrams creatively.
If the first one doesn’t show an 80-20 pattern, then reconsider the problem and try again.

CTQ Tree Why use it
Identifies critical to quality (CTQ) characteristics, features by which customers evaluate our product or service that is to be used as the measure for our project.
A useful CTQ characteristic has the following features: • It is critical to the customers perception of quality • It can be measured • A specification can be set to tell whether the CTQ characteristic has been achieved.

61
CTQ Tree What does the CTQ tree do…
Links customer needs gathered from the voice of customer data with process drivers and with specific, measurable characteristics.
Enables the project team to transform general data into specific data.
Makes the measuring process easier for the team.
© 2009, Qimpro
62
Setting up a CTQ Tree
Gather the sorted customer needs from the VOC data
List the major customer needs on the left hand side of the tree structure
View each need from the customers point of view
For each need ask “what would that mean” from the customers stand point
Each answer becomes the driver for the CTQs
Keep asking “what would that mean” until you reach a level where it would be absurd to continue
Your answer at this level is the CTQ © 2009, Qimpro

Analyzing a Flow Diagram 1.Examine Each Decision Symbol Is this a checking activity? Is this a complete check, or do some types of errors go undetected Is this a redundant check?
2.Examine Each Rework Loop Would we need to perform these activities if we had no failure? How ‘long’ is this rework loop (steps, time lost, resources consumed, etc?) Does this rework loop prevent the problem from reoccurring?
4.Examine Each Document or Database Symbol Is this necessary? How is this kept up to date? Is there a single source for this information? How can we use this information to monitor and improve the process?
3.Examine Each Activity Symbol Is this a redundant activity? What is the value of this activity relative to its cost? How have we prevented errors in this activity?

Variable Gage R&R - Method To conduct a variable gage R&R study…. At least two operators (persons doing the measuring) should participate. Two or three operators are typical. At least 10 parts should be measured. These are 10 yp p product that represent p the full units of the same type range of manufacturing variation. Each operator will measure each part two or three times. Parts should be measured in random order. It is very important that an operator not be aware of his or her earlier measurement when doing a repeat measurement on the same part. © 2009, Qimpro

Attribute Gage R&R
It is also important to have good repeatability and reproducibility when obtaining attribute data.
If one operator, for example, decides a unit has an “appearance” defect and another operator concludes the same unit has no defect, then there is a problem with the measurement system. system
Similarly, the measurement system is inadequate when the same person draws different conclusions on repeat evaluations of the same unit of product.

Attribute Gage R&R
An attribute measurement system compares each part to a standard and accepts the part if the standard is met.
The screen effectiveness is the ability of the attribute measurement system to properly discriminate good from bad. bad
© 2009, Qimpro
80
Attribute Gage R&R - Method
Select a minimum of 30 parts from the process. These parts should represent the full spectrum of process variation (good parts, defective parts, borderline parts).
An “expert” inspector performs an evaluation of each part, part classifying it as “Good” Good or “Not Not Good Good.”
Independently and in a random order, each of 2 or 3 operators should assess the parts as “Good” or “Not Good.”
Enter the data into the Attribute Gage R&R.xls spreadsheet to quantify the effectiveness of the measurement system.

Why Count Number of Defects
Whenever a number of things can go wrong, or things can go wrong at any of several steps, then…
Counting number of defects provides a more meaningful indicator of process capability than merely counting the number of defective items at the end of the process.
First, we must determine the opportunities for defect.

Lack of Solution OR Direct Improvements: These are causes that are actually solutions that can be implemented directly and need no further analysis. They are usually stated as lack of resources, equipment, tools or training.

When to use FMEA?
FMEA is designed to prevent failures from occurring or from getting to internal and external customers.
Therefore, FMEA is essential for situations where failures might occur and the effects of those failures occurring are potentially serious. serious
FMEA can be used on all Six Sigma projects. It serves as an overall control document for the process.

Hypothesis Testing – The Decision As a result of the hypothesis test, we will either….
Reject the Null Hypothesis, or

Risk of Hypothesis Whenever a hypothesis test is run, there is a risk associated with the decision that is made. There are two types of errors (risks): Type I error (also known as alpha risk, denoted by α) – The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. true Type II error (also known as beta risk, denoted by β) – The probability of accepting the null hypothesis when it is false.

z – test Features
The z statistic or the t statistic is a ratio of difference in means and variation of the means
The z – statistic is used for samples with; •
Large sample size of more than 30 data points
•
Standard deviation of the population is known
Used to compare average performance of two groups.
Tests the null (H0) hypothesis of “no difference between means of two groups”
Draws critical values from standard normal table or z table and t distribution table respectively. © 2009, Qimpro
142
t - test Features
The t – statistic is used for samples with; •
Small sample size of less than 30 data points
•
Standard deviation of population is not known.
Used to compare average performance of two groups groups.
Tests the null (H0) hypothesis of “no difference between means of two groups”
Draws critical values from standard normal table or t distribution table.

Z Test – Example (conti...) You are attempting to assess the cycle time for packaging of goods when utilizing two different methods. The use of a metal strapping has traditionally been assumed to generate the best response, but that assumption is now going to be tested against a process of using self adhesive tape. Historically, when utilizing the metal staple sheets: Average cycle time = 6 minutes Standard deviation = 2 minutes A random sample of size 36 was collected from the self adhesive tape process, yielding: x = 4.7 minutes
s = 2.0 minutes 145
© 2009, Qimpro
Z Test – Example (conti...) Establish both the Alternative and Null Hypotheses. H0 : μ = 6 minutes HA : μ ≠ 6 minutes Determine the level of significance, significance α : α = 0.05 0 05
146
© 2009, Qimpro
Z Test – Example (conti...) Calculate the test statistic, Z : We use the sample standard deviation, s, as our estimate of σ population. Then… z=
x - μ = 4.7 - 6.0 = - 1.3 = 3.94 σ 2 0.33 T the same Try n 36 with y = 5.5 mins
For a = 0.05 (95% confidence) : z critical = 1.96 Since the computed Z value = -3.94 < -1.96; We REJECT the Null Hypothesis. Conclusion: Cycle Time for packaging with Self Adhesive Tape is not equal to 6 minutes. © 2009, Qimpro

Regression Measures Of Correlation
The Correlation Coefficient r measures the strength of linear relationships
–1 ≤ r ≤ 1
When a relationship exists, the variables are said to be correlated
Perfect negative relationship No linear correlation Perfect positive relationship
r2 measures the percent of variation in Y explained by the linear relationship of X and Y and is called the Coefficient of Determination.
r2 value will always be smaller than r values
r = –1.0 r= 0 r = +1.0

What is Regression?
In simple linear regression, you obtain the graph and the equation of the straight line that best represent the relationship between two variables. Given a sample p of p paired data, the regression equation y = β0 + β1x describes the relationship between two variables.

What is a Counteraction? A counteraction is anything that is done to reduce or eliminate the effect of a cause. Reduce the Effect of a Cause A helmet (counteraction) reduces the injury (effect) from an impact (cause). R d Reduce the h Cause, C Thereby Th b Reducing R d i the h Effect. Eff A refrigerator (counteraction) reduces spoilage (effect) by reducing temperature (cause) Eliminate the Cause, Thereby Eliminating the Effect. Antibiotics (counteraction) eliminate some diseases (effect) by eliminating Bacteria (cause) © 2009, Qimpro

Less Useful Counteractions Examples of less useful Counteractions (too vague, not actionable): Improve communication Develop process focus Improve injection molding quality Using such counteractions only leads to confusion, since people don’t understand the specific actions to take. When these kinds of counteractions arise in brainstorming, ask, “What specific actions do we need to take to accomplish this item?” © 2009, Qimpro

When to use FMEA?
FMEA is designed to prevent failures from occurring or from getting to internal and external customers.
Therefore, FMEA is essential for situations where failures might occur and the effects of those failures occurring are potentially serious. serious
FMEA can be used on all Six Sigma projects. It serves as an overall control document for the process.

The Value of Process Control When a process is in control: You can predict what it will do in the future in terms of its average performance and its variation. You can estimate the capability of the process to meet specifications specifications. It reduces process variation and process cost. CAUTION! When a process is not stable, we cannot draw valid conclusions about the process' ability to meet specifications! 185

Summary of Variation
To improve any process, it is useful to understand its variation.
All variation is caused by common and/or special causes.
There are two major classifications of causes which help you select appropriate managerial actions:
9
If all variation is due to “common causes,” the result will be a predictable or stable system
9
If some variation is from “special causes,” the result is an unstable or unpredictable system.
Variation causes customer dissatisfaction.

Lean Six Sigma Overview
Collecting Data for an X Bar & R Chart Rules of Thumb:
At least 20 subgroups of about n=5 data are required.
The data within a subgroup should be collected close together in time (for example, 5 consecutively i l produced d d parts). )
Longer time intervals are used between subgroups. (Depending on the process and purpose of the study, these time intervals could be 15 min., 30 min., 1hr., 2 hr., or longer).

Control Dashboards
A dashboard is a template which gives the top management a snap shot view of the improved process.
A single graph that displays the current performance of the process against the target.
Each output parameter needs to have one dashboard.
