How can you integrate Six Sigma principles into your business model?

I do think defining your goals correctly is a key aspect of your projects. In order to do so, it is also important to better understand what is the root cause challenge / problem to set the solution path correctly. Another aspect thst I found extremely important at this initial phase, set costumer expectations, rather internal or external. To be aligned from start until the finish line, will help gauge and correct the path when you face stepbacks and problems during the course of your project.

Además de todo lo anterior; que claro que es sumamente relevante tener en mente, tambien es de suma importancia documentar tus procesos; si, es cierto, contar con metas, pero el como alcanzar esas metas; que todos los departamentos, áreas y personas tengan la misma misión y vision es muy necesario. Contar con Procesos documentados claros y concisos que ayuden a enfocar sus energías y pasos para alcanzar esas metas son pilares de toda empresa.

Voc (voice of customer/ key stakeholders) is importance too during define phase. This ensures all the requirements and expectations are captured.

Fazer um prognóstico, e depois fazer metas para serem atingidas. Colocar no papel e instruir as pessoas. Assim, todos ficam sabendo e colaboram para chegar nos resultados propostos.

Define is the most important stage of Six Sigma. It allows the team to understand whether the project goals are related to customer needs. Customers here include external customers and internal customers. Only projects related to customers are valuable. At the same time, a flowchart is needed to confirm the scope of the project and the specific indicators to be achieved to avoid the project falling into formalism.

Sim. Todos tem que estarem envolvidos para os resultados. Cada um tem que fazer a sua parte. Reuni?es s?o importantes porque atualiza os dados.

Assess and measure if processes are in control. Use SPC Cp and Cpk creatively. SPC can be utilized beyond finite numbers. If a process is out of control see what others might not. Don’t get caught up with the process of root cause, stand back and look. The solution is there. Operators make best use of SPC, educate them, don’t just train them. You educate people, you ttain dogs!

The measurement phase is the most difficult, as it requires a clear expression of the direction of the project to solve the problem. Only in this way can a measurement plan be arranged to collect data. People generally think that the measurement phase is about measuring system analysis and detailed flow charts, but in fact the most important thing is to actually understand the current situation and determine the direction of problem solving by using various tools.

I agree with this perspective. Accuracy during the measure phase will allow for achievable goals to be set and show progression that proves the phase was done successfully.

Sempre há uma causa raiz. Se todos virem isso, o sistema funciona muito bem. Fazer os gráficos ficam mais visiveis para que todos vejam os acertos e erros.

If you have a good measurement phase plan, this phase is the easiest. You only need to follow up the measurement phase plan to collect data on site, and then use some statistical tools to get the root cause of the problem. However, in the actual project operation, there will be many situations that require returning to the measurement phase, because there is no good in-depth analysis of the current situation in the measurement phase, resulting in you having no way to find the real cause in the analysis phase.

The use of advanced statistical analysis techniques can be the differential in decision-making, not only related to an investment, but also to ensure the sustainability of the business. Advanced techniques such as Interaction Graphs, Main Effects, Hypothesis Testing, Multivariate Analysis and regression techniques can contribute to the achievement of the corporation's main objective.

This phase done correctly, will pin point the root cause of the issue to be solved and direct the team on what actions are needed for improvement.

Tem fábricas que os processos s?o centenários. O Lean dá outro vis?o que pode fazer uma produ??o mais enxuta e lucrativa. Assim todos ganham e novos produto podem ser cadastrados e serem entregues nos prazos combinados com o cliente.

I have found piloting allows for any on foreseen issues to be solved and creates a successful implementation throughout. Trying implement without piloting can cause missing project completion targets and a potential for a lack of trust the project will be successful.

When you can enter the improvement phase, it means you have found the root cause. What you need to do is to arrange experiments and trial runs. The most important thing is to go to the site, go to the site, go to the site to collect experimental data.

Many people think that the control phase is just about writing documents, which is of course important. But in fact, the most important thing in the control phase is that you need to decide which factors or results need to be monitored and how to monitor them. In addition, when all these are completed, how do you hand over these project results and control methods to your actual manufacturing team?

Agora, para dar os resultados propostos, precisar estar definidos, escritos, e colocar banner em vários lugares, porque é uma nova forma de fazer mais com menos. Gra?as aos japoneses.

Auditing process improvements not only helps with sustainability of the gains but also creates the opportunity for more improvements.

The training and certification of an empowered team in Six Sigma are crucial for the successful implementation of this methodology, and this team will have shared responsibilities with the main concepts of the tool, such as: Standardization of knowledge; Skills development; Alignment with corporate objectives; Development of a Culture of Improvement; Effective strong leadership; Reduction of errors and waste. In summary, training and certification empower staff to apply rigorous methodologies, achieve measurable goals, and contribute to the overall success of the organization.

For the principles of Six Sigma to be fully integrated into your business model, it is essential to invest in training your team. Your employees must understand the methodology, tools and techniques necessary to participate effectively in the continuous improvement process. Consider offering formal training or certification to key team members and promote an organizational culture focused on continuous improvement, where each employee feels encouraged to suggest process improvements. Properly empowering your team is a crucial element in making Six Sigma an integral, standard part of your business operations.
