  3. Introduction 6 : new world s is the symbol for the standard deviation. 6s is equivalent with 3.4 defects per million opportunities. • Hooving 30 m2 on 6s -level means only 1 cm2 missed. • 1/3.4 million part of the day equals 0.29 second • 1/3.4 million part of the equator of the earth equals about 140 meter.

  6. What is Six Sigma? • Simple • Eliminate defects • Eliminate the opportunity to have defects • Complex • Vision • Metric (Standard measuring method) • Benchmark • Philosofy • Method • Tool for: • Customer satisfaction • ‘Breakthrough’ improvements • Continuous improvement • Employee involvement • Agressive goals

  7. Six Sigma is everywhere Service Design Management Purchase Six Sigma Methods Administration Production IT Quality Depart. HRM M & S

  11. Six Sigma Companies implementing Six Sigma • Motorola (1987) • Texas Intruments en DEC (1988) • IBM (1989) • AlliedSignal en Kodak (1994) • General Electric (1995) • Whirlpool, Bombardier en Polaroid (1996) • Sony, Citibank (1997) • Paccar-DAF Trucks, Black & Decker (1998) • Perlos, American Express (1999) • Ford (2000)

  12. Six Sigma A scientific and practical method to achieve improvements in a company • Scientific: • Structured approach. • Assuming quantitative data. • Practical: • Emphasis on financial result. • Start with the voice of the customer. “Show me the data” ”Show me the money”

  13. Define Select a project Measure Make concrete the project Analyse Characterise the current situation Improve Optimise the process Control Assure the improvements Method DMAIC

  14. Method Focus on the process: Y = f(X1, X2, …, Xn) Output Inputs Process Caffeine% = f(DCM, time to extract, number of extracts, temperature, …)

  15. New way? Approach to improve Praktical problem Statistical problem Y = f(X1, X2, …, Xn) Praktical solution Statistical solution

  16. Define • Projects may be selected according to: • A complete list of requirements of customers. • A complete list of costs of poor quality. • A complete list of existing problems or targets.

  17. Priorities 1 2 3 1.Collect data • 3.Give priority • Financial benefits • Expected throughput time of the project • Severity of the problem 2.Arrange the information 1. Requirements, 2. Costs, 3. Problems.

  18. Six Sigma Characteristics involved Y = f(X1, X2, …, Xn) Critical to Quality (External) Critical to Quality (Internal) • Influence factors: • Process parameters • Disturbances • Noise variables

  19. Example Coffee beans Roast Cool Grind Moisture content Pack Sealed coffee

  20. Measure Measure • Concrete the problem: • Establish how to measure in the process; • Investigate the demands (USL, LSL); • Evaluate the measurement method.

  21. Measure USL 4.0 4.5 Moisture%            

  22. Analyse Analyse • Study the current performance of the process: • Determine the kind of problem; • Identify the influence factors.

  23. Analyse To run experiments one needs a process which is in statistical control. SPC DoE

  24. Uncontrolled processes Controlled processes Control chart, Cp, Cpk Process Capability study Identify X’s Identify X’s FMEA, Control chart Multi-vari, Trendgraph Select X’s Select X’s FMEA, Data Testing- theory Improve Improvements Experiment Assure, Control loop Control

  25. Waste!           Analyse

  26. Analyse

  27. USL USL Analyse

  28. Three types of influence factors Caffeine content of Extracted coffee Time to extract Caffeine% raw coffee Stuffed-up filter Processparameter Noise variable Disturbance May be used to control. Undesirable sources of variation. Outliers, incidents

  29. Improve Improve • Run a statistical experiment: • Determine which influence factors are really important; • Model the relationship with the CTQ.

  30. Improve Moisture% = –16.57 + 0.023B + 0.025G – 0.0003BG

  31. Control Control • Implement improvements: • Use the relationship to define an optimal process; • Design a system to assure the improvements.

  32. USL After σ = 0.04 Control Before σ = 0.19

  33. Organisation

  34. Persons Champion • Belongs to management • Selects projects • Gives priority • Solves bottlenecks • Is willing to change • Has social skills • 1 day training • Is responsible for the BB project w.r.t. the organisation

  35. Persons Black Belt • Belongs to the middle management • Is well-educated • Project is related to daily activities • May prioritise his work • Enough motivation • Willing to change • Has good social skills Improvement potential: € 50 000

  36. Measure Analyse Training (1 week) Work on project (3 weeks) Improve Review Control BB training Define Throughput time project 4 months (full time)
