Six Sigma at Cinteger

 

 
 
 
“You can’t manage what you don’t measure”
 
 
 
 
 
 
Why Six Sigma?
Six Sigma identifies key business processes that would benefit most from improvement and provides a standardized approach to decreasing process variability. Cost savings are directly traceable to the bottom line.
 
 
Why Lean?
Lean quickly identifies “value added” vs. “non-value added” activities by identifying waste.
 
Waste includes: defects, overproduction, waiting, non-value added processing, inventory motion, transportation, employees as a resource.
 
 
What Does Six Sigma Provide?
  • Structure – Supports improvement and organizational learning
  • Strategic Alignment – Links to business objectives and priorities
  • Tools – Equips with advanced improvement tools
 
What are the 2 Six Sigma Methodologies?
  • DMAIC: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control – used for existing processes that require improvement
  • DMADV: Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Verify – used to develop new processes at Six Sigma quality levels
