Objectives:
Define what is Six Sigma, its goal and benefits to an organization. Explain its key concepts. Explore the methodologies used in implementing six sigma and its significant elements. Know the quality tools used, and roles required for its implementation.
DMAIC
Define the process improvement goals that are consistent with customer demands and enterprise strategy. Measure the current process and collect relevant data for future comparison. Analyze to verify relationship and causality of factors. Improve or optimize the process based upon the analysis using techniques like Design of Experiments. Control to ensure that any variances are corrected before they result in defects.

DMADV
Define the goals of the design activity that are consistent with customer demands and enterprise strategy. Measure and identify CTQs (critical to qualities), product capabilities, production process capability, and risk assessments. Analyze to develop and design alternatives, create high-level design and evaluate design capability to select the best design. Design details, optimize the design, and plan for design verification. This phase may require simulations. Verify the design, set up pilot runs, implement production process and handover to process owners.
Quality Tools
Control Chart - Monitors variance in a process over time and alerts the business to unexpected variance which may cause defects. Defect Measurement - Accounting for the number or frequency of defects that cause lapses in product or service quality. Statistical Process Control - The application of statistical methods to analyze data, study and monitor process capability and performance.
Quality Tools
Pareto Diagram Focuses efforts on the problems that have the greatest potential for improvement by showing relative frequency and/or size in a descending bar graph. Tree Diagram - Graphically shows any broad goal broken into different levels of detailed actions.
Quality Tools
Process Mapping - Illustrated description of how things get done, which enables participants to visualize an entire process and identify areas of strength and weaknesses. Root Cause Analysis - Study of original reason for nonconformance with a process.
Quality Terms
Master Black Belt --first and foremost teachers --they also review and mentor Black Belts --selection criteria for Master Black Belts are quantitative skills and the ability to teach and mentor Black Belt --leaders of teams responsible for measuring, analyzing, improving and controlling key processes that influence customer satisfaction and/or productivity growth Green Belt --similar to Black Belt but not a full-time position.
Summary
Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects in any process that aims to increase profits by eliminating variability, defects and waste that undermine customer loyalty.Six Sigma revolves around a few key concepts and uses two methodologies, the DMAIC for existing business process and the DMADV for new product and process designs.
