Population & Sample
Sample
PopulationN 1,000
Measure 10 samples(Spec. : 1004)
You may say This Population is Good because all the samples data are locatedbetween LSL & USL. BUT, If you estimate the defect rate using statistical analysis,this population has the probability of 2.8% defects per unit.Then this is - we call - An epidemic quality defect level.
Measuring defect rate on process through an expanding statistical concept,we can use measuring process capability.

At the beginning of 80s, In the Japanese
market, Motorolas beeper lost its name
value because of the quality differencecompared to Japans
In 1981 they tried to meet a challenge to
improve quality 5 times in 5 years and they
couldnt.
They developed a consistent process base
on statistical knowledge.
In 1987, they established 6 goal
as a key initiative.
In 1995 GE launched 6 process
to overcome a difficult business
environment and to challengeWorld Class Quality.
They made new processes such as
Productivity,Inventory Return and NPI,
but improvement was delayed
because of defects in processes.
GE thinks World Class Quality is
big challenge. GE will focus on
6 process for next generation .

A process is defined as a collection of activities thattakes one or more kinds of input and creates outputthat is of value to the customer.
Business Process Mapping
The model is applicable to both product and serviceorganizations.
Everyone receives inputs from suppliers, adds valuethrough their process, and provides an output oroutput that, at a minimum, meets the customersneeds and related requirements while trying to
exceed them. It is important to recognize that the end product for
the customer and the output of the process, for thepurpose of this model, are the same.

6sBenefits Of Process Mapping :
A structure for thinking through a complex process in a simplified, visible manner.
An ability to see the entire process as a team.
An ability to see that changes are not made in a vacuum and will carry through, affectingthe entire process down the line.
The magnification of non value-added areas or steps.
The ability to identify cycle times for each step in the process.

Measurements get Attention
8/3/2019 Understanding 6 Sigma
50/101
6sMeasure Objectives
Identify the project Y
Define the performance standards for Y including specification limits and defect andopportunity definitions
Validate the measurement system (Audit it for correctness / reliability; from which register /database, what field, what formula etc. would be used as a basis)
Develop a common reference document for all team members to promote clearcommunication about the purpose and methods for data collection and provide the linkbetween the data collection effort and the project goals
Collect the data
Characterize the data using mean and standard deviation
Measurements get Attention

Segmentation
8/3/2019 Understanding 6 Sigma
51/101
6sSegmentation
An analysis technique that involves temporarily dividing a large group of data into smallerlogical categories to look for areas of very good vs. very poor performance
Can be used to understand which Xs drive variation of the Project Y
Collect segmentation factor data to be used for later analysis
Common Segmentation Factors
Common Segmentation Factors :
What type : Complaints, defects, problems
When : Year, month, week, day
Where : Country, region, city, work site
Who : Business, department, individual, customer type, market segment
Segmentation
Segmentation Helps Us Understand Variation In Project Y
6How to collect Data for Segmentation
8/3/2019 Understanding 6 Sigma
52/101
6s Identify the factors for segmentation before you start collecting data
Make sure the segmentation factors can be measured reliably
Record the segmentation factors for each Y data point collected
Segmentation factors are typically easy to collect, so collect more segmentation factors ratherthan fewer
A proper segmentation done will ensure that when you want to use data for further analysis, itcan be massaged / stratified in various ways.

A Performance Standard is the requirement(s) or specification(s) imposed by the customer ona specific CTQ.
It answers the questions :
What does the customer want ?
What is a good product/process ?
What is a defect ?
Example :
Contracts : Terms of Loan, due diligence standards, time of delivery, warranty information

The Normal Curve is a graphical representation of the mathematical expression used todescribe a Normal Distribution.
This distribution is the result of a process. The mean is the average of the data points.

Whats the probability of being: greater than (less than) the mean ?
greater than (less than) 3 standard deviations ?
greater than (less than) -1 standard deviation ?
A randomly selected item has a 99.73% chance of being between -3 and 3 standard deviations from the mean.

6
Types of Controls
8/3/2019 Understanding 6 Sigma
75/101
6sTYPE-1 CONTROL (P-TYPE)
Controls which PREVENT the cause/failure mode from occurring, or reduce their rate of occurrence.
TYPE-2 CONTROL (D-1 TYPE)
Controls which DETECT the CAUSE of failure mode.
TYPE-3 CONTROL (D-2 TYPE)
Controls which DETECT the FAILURE MODE.
EXAMPLE
Take a stage of heat treatment process.
The failure mode identified is : Hardness Not OK.
So lab tests to check the hardness are TYPE-3 controls.
Suppose the causes identified are improper temperature (less or more than allowable) and time.A buzzer which blows when temperature is above or below the allowable value is a TYPE-2 control.
Patrol inspection to monitor the temperature is still TYPE-2 control.
A feed back control system to regulate temperature when it goes above and below the allowablevalue is a TYPE-1 control.

What is FMEA
8/3/2019 Understanding 6 Sigma
76/101
6sFMEA (Failure Mode Effects Analysis)
A structured approach to:
Identify the ways in which a process can fail to meet critical customer requirements
Estimate the risk of specific causes with regard to these failures
Evaluate the current control plan for preventing these failures from occurring
Prioritize the actions that should be taken to improve the process
Identify ways the product or process can fail. Then plan to prevent those failures.

6s Identify process deficiencies at that particular stage which results in that failure mode.
As far as possible assume incoming part/material to an operation are correct. If nonthere, then only see whether there is some failure mode of previous operation.
Treat design to perfectly O.K.
OCCURRENCE
Probability that A particular cause will occur &
And will lead to that particular failure (Cpk can be used).
6Current Process Controls

6s Consider only those controls that will be used to detect the failure mode (Assumption
Failure has occurred).
Note : Controls intended to prevent or reduce the occurrence of a cause of failure modeare considered for occurrence rating.
DETECTION
Probability that present controls will detect a failure mode or detect cause (Assume
failure has occurred)

Severity (SEV) How significant is the impact of the Effect to the customer (internal or external)?
Occurrence (OCC)
How likely is the Cause of the Failure Mode to occur?
Detection (DET) How likely will the current system detect the Cause or Failure Mode if it occurs?
Risk Priority Number
A numerical calculation of the relative risk of a particular Failure Mode
RPN = SEV x OCC x DET This number is used to place priority on which items need additional quality planning

61. Once we have identified these factors and made adjustments for improvement, we need to
validate actual improvements in our processes.
2. Sometimes we cannot decide graphically or by using calculated statistics (sample mean andstandard deviation) if there is a statistically significant difference between processes.
3. In such cases, the decision will be subjective.
4. We perform a formal statistical hypothesis test to decide objectively whether there is adifference.

2. State your Null Hypothesis (Ho)Ho :The height of citizens in country A is greater than or equal to the
height of citizens in country B (A B).3. State your Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) , which is a negation of null hypothesis
Ha :The height of citizens in country A is less than the height of citizens
in country B (A < B).
