CHAPTER 3 The Six Sigma Model

THE SIX SIGMA MODEL



The Six Sigma Model consists of tools and techniques for improvement of processes.


The Six Sigma Model improves the output quality of a process through identification

and removal of the causes of defects.


Every project adheres to a specific sequence of steps with defined value targets (SDLC)


A process can have a sigma rating to indicate its percentage of defect-free products.
THE DOCTRINE OF THE SIX
SIGMA MODEL
The Six Sigma model asserts that process results will be stable and
predictable through continuous efforts.
The Six Sigma model focuses on attaining quantifiable and measurable
financial returns.
The Six Sigma model emphasis is on passionate and strong management
support and leadership.
The Six Sigma model is committed to decisions based on verifiable statistical
methods and data, instead of guesswork and baseless assumptions.
THE SIX SIGMA
METHODOLOGIES
The Six Sigma Model has two methodologies, namely DMAIC and
DMADV.
DMAIC is for improving present business processes
DMADV is for creating new process designs or new product.
THE DMAIC METHODOLOGY
DMAIC: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control.
The Define phase requires the definition of specific customer requirements, project goals, and the system
itself.
The Measure phase requires the collection of relevant data in order to measure the present process.
The Analyze phase investigates and verifies the data for cause-and-effect relationships.
The Analyze phase tries to find the root cause of every defect discovered.
The Improve phase optimizes the present process by using techniques and standard work for future state process.
The Control phase ensures corrections to any deviations from the standard before such deviations can cause
defects.
The Control phase implements control systems and monitors the process continuously.
THE DMADV METHODOLOGY
DMADV: Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, and Verify.
The Define phase defines the goals of the design based on the business strategy and customer specifications.
The Measure phase identifies the critical characteristics of quality.
The Measure phase measures risks, process capability of production, and product capabilities.
The Analyze phase includes analysis in order to create and design alternatives
The Design phase chooses the best alternative from the previous phase and improves on it.
The Verify phase implements the process, sets up pilot runs, and turns it over to the process owners.
SIX SIGMA APPLICATIONS
Six Sigma is not suited for organizations with less than 500 employees.
IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTICS OF SIX SIGMA QUALITY
ASSURANCE

The Six Sigma approaches raise the standards of quality by implementing a methodical management approach to
quality.
Testing is important to ensure that the products and services meet the customers’ requirements and the desired
standards.
The approach of the Six Sigma Green Belt ensures quality in production.
Six Sigma Green Belt promises and delivers quality of products and services.
The quality assurance office must ensure that each aspect of development is above par.
THE QUALITY ASSURANCE
OFFICER
The Quality Assurance Officer ensures the quality of products and services by taking
care of the whole quality assurance process in the software development cycle.
His task is to maintain high standards and improve on the predetermined quality
assurance standards.
It is also important for him to stay up-to-date with recent workshops, seminars, and
product launches involving quality management in order to maintain the technical
knowledge about quality assurance standards.
