Six Sigma
Six Sigma has helped many companies improve their operations by reducing variability and striving for 3.40 defects per million opportunities. However, Six Sigma is not the ultimate end game. It is a "tool box" of techniques that are to be used to improve your process efficiency. It is not a once and done goal. Six Sigma is an on-going Break-through Strategy that your company would adopt as their method in problem solving. It is a systematic approach to defining the problem and developing effective solutions. The Six Sigma approach is perhaps the most effective improvement strategy you will ever employ because it works and works very well. It allows you to take a step by step view of the process and see what is going on and then identifies target areas for improvement based upon quantitative data used for making informed decisions.
What about getting it right the first time and preventing problems? Six Sigma techniques are useful for preventing process and design problems as well. By "designing" for Six Sigma enables Engineering to fully understand the capabilities of Manufacturing and the Supply Chain to ensure the product released is capable of being produced. We can teach you in the areas of Capability Index and Capability Ratio; keys in understanding if your products are even capable of being produced without defects.
