3 Background Organizations generally task the practitioners and the deployment leaders to carry the load of process improvement To find and deliver projects To deliver breakthrough gains To deliver bottom line savings To make six sigma successful To foster a cultural change So What are you doing in your spare time? Could you use some help? Real help?

4 The Road to Success Paths, Streets Highways and Super Highways What is a path? What is a street? What is a highway? What is a super highway? What are they used for? What differentiates them? How does this relate to six sigma? How can it be built?

5 All Employees Six Sigma Sponsorship Model Sponsorship Resistance Middle Management Executive Management Change Advocate Market Forces

6 How Six Sigma Fits In to the Big Picture Green Belts Black Belts Yellow Belts All Employees Untrained

7 Fact! An organization that wants to achieve continuous and sustainable business improvement must introduce the majority of its individual contributors to a basic understanding of process management current problem solving knowledge and skills. Data analysis Teamwo rk Analytic al tools The Majority of Individual Contributors consists of anyone who is a key contributor or supporter to the success of a process. People who are either building or are on the highway to success

8 What if? What if the members of the processes you are working to improve Understood MSA Understood process management and how to apply it Could do an FMEA Could explain the use SPC and Poka Yoke to you Understood value analysis and lean techniques Could relate to or do graphical analysis?

9 What if? What if the members of the processes you are working to improve Understood MSA Could do an FMEA Understood value analysis and lean techniques Understood process management and how to apply it Could explain the use SPC and Poka Yoke to you Could relate to or do graphical analysis? Thought like you do about process improvement, the six sigma way Had already fully characterized the process before you stated working on it.

10 What if? What if the members of the processes you are working to improve Understood MSA Could do an FMEA Understood value analysis and lean techniques Thought like you do about process improvement, the six sigma way Could you travel down the improvement highway a little faster, have fewer obstacles, less pedestrian traffic slowing you down? Understood process management and how to apply it Could explain the use SPC and Poka Yoke to you Could relate to or do graphical analysis? Had already fully characterized the process before you stated working on it.

11 What You Can Expect From Your Team Members Define Contribute data, high level process mapping to aid in the project definition Measure Analyze Improve Control Realize Provides data, process knowledge and effort to create detailed process maps, Pareto charts, fishbone diagrams, XY Matrix, FMEA, gage studies, modeling and baseline capabilities. Assist the in acquiring the right data for multi-vari studies, hypothesis tests and ANOVA. Help you to interpret the results. Assist in setting up and running designed experiments, simulations or other experimentation to fine-tune the solution to the problem. Implement the solution Help write and implement process-control methods, control plans and SOP s. Execute and control process as defined in the control plan. Monitor, control and improve the performance of the process to sustain results.
