Defining Projects Starts with Problems
2) Clearly Define your Problem and the ImpactExample:Too many mistakes in purchase request specifications are causing rework rates of 34%, high costs and late deliveries (less than 50% on time) to our customers
1) Find
• Customer Issues
• Performance
Reviews
• Meetings
• New Projects
• Failures, Re-work
• Projects
• Continuous
improvement
activities
• Champions
• Stakeholders
• Employees
• SCOR Maps
• Research
• Brainstorm
• Wait until the
crisis hits you
• Value Stream
Maps
3) Clearly State the Initial Scope for your project
(Set targets and timelines!)Example:This first phase of this project – by 3Q 2004 - will identify problems and root causes in the purchase request process, increase first pass yield rates to 95%, reduce the cost of poor quality by 50% and increase on-time deliveries to our customers to greater than 90%
4) Link improvement targets to customer needs and
organizational objectives
5) Project Plan – Charter, Resources, Milestones

Measurement System Analysis (MSA)Is your error in the process or in the way you measure it?
Could it be that you actually are “good” but the error in the measurement system shows that you are not “good”?

Measurement System Variation
Repeatability:
Variation due to gage
or measurement tool
Reproducibility:
Variation due to people or
operators who are measuring
TV= MSA + Process variation
13
Repeatability
Repeatability is the variation in measurements obtained with one measurement instrument used several times by one appraiser while measuring the identical characteristic on the same part.
For example:– Manufacturing: One person measures the purity of multiple samples of the same vial and
gets different purity measures.
– Transactional: One person evaluates a contract multiple times (over a period of time) and makes different determinations of errors.
Repeatability

14
Reproducibility
Reproducibility is the variation in the average of the measurements made by different appraisers using the same measuring instrument when measuring the identical characteristic on the same part.
For example:– Manufacturing: Different people perform purity test on samples from the same vial and get
different results.
– Transactional: Different people evaluate the same contract and make different determinations.

Capability Ratio - compares the capability of a process (voice of the
process) to the specification limits (voice of the customer):
=USL - LSL
6s= Cp
Cp = 1: The process is
barely capable (Just fits into
the tolerance window).
Cp = 2: The process is a
six sigma process (The
tolerance window is twice
the process capability).
20
Process Capability Indices
Process capability relates actual product variability to the customer
specifications.
The Cp index estimates process capability if the process mean is
centered in the specification window (Process Entitlement).
The Cpk estimates the process capability if the process mean is off
center.

Pareto Chart A method to display the “vital few” from the “trivial many.” These charts are
based on the Pareto Principle – 20% of the problems have 80% of the impact.
The 20% represents the “vital few.” The Pareto chart helps you to arrange data
in order of priority or importance.

In preparing a control plan, you should concentrate on:
Control Plan Elements
1) What needs to be monitored?2) Who is going to be keeping the process
functioning properly?3) How are they going to monitor?4) Where will the monitoring be conducted?5) Where should the plan reside?6) What will be done if the monitoring detects a
condition outside of the customer’s specifications?
