CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

Six Sigma

Six Sigma Overview

Six Sigma is a leading Continuous Improvement system based on Lean principles. It’s a fact-based problem-solving methodology that uses tools and skills to reduce variation within processes and create a corporate culture committed to Continuous Improvement. Rigorous methodologies provide data metrics and analysis designed to help you align key business processes and drive rapid and sustainable improvement. Goals include significant reduction or elimination of defects, improved product quality and increased customer satisfaction. Perhaps most importantly, when executed properly, Six Sigma can drive immediate and dramatic increases in profit.

The DMAIC Improvement Cycle and Other Six Sigma Tools.

DMAIC (pronounced “de-MAY-ick) is the core process used by Six Sigma practitioners. DMAIC stands for: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control. These are the steps to follow to identify a problem, develop workable improvements and implement long-lasting solutions.
