Six Sigma Project Scorecards

The Challenge

Selecting an appropriate Six Sigma project can be challenging. You don’t want to find yourself in a multi-year galactic struggle – with no hope of success. Alternatively, you don’t want to waste time by having a project team research and decide on the flavors of ice cream to serve at the company picnic.

Let’s look at a sensible 3 step approach:

1. Identify desirable characteristics which promote success and positive outcomes
2. Establish a scoring technique which quantifies each characteristic
3. Score possible projects to determine their viability, High scoring projects become candidates for action. Low scoring projects are dropped or refined to improve their score

The goal is to establish criteria which identifies the best projects for Six Sigma.
