What is ?
means Standard Deviation
Hence means Six Standard Deviations
Standard Deviation is the Variation (Deviation) from
the Mean (Average) value of a process
Six Sigma helps to reduce the variation in the
process.

Why do we need Six Sigma ?
To Improve Quality to World-Class Levels
What is Quality ?
Why should we improve the quality ?
Global Competition , Ex. Nokia , Kodak
26-Oct-21
What is World-Class Quality Level ?
It is 99.99966 % Success Rate
In other words, it is 3.4 defects out of a million
opportunities. Six Sigma helps to reach this
level
26-Oct-21
Why 6 Sigma ? Is 3 Sigma not enough ?
3 Sigma means, 99.7 % Quality Level.
According to a survey in the U.S.A , 99 % quality means:
22,000 wrong cheque transactions per hour
12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents each
day
Two unsafe planes landing at Chicago airport every
day
One hour of unsafe drinking water everyday
The list continues …..

Define Phase :What is the Problem ?
26-Oct-21
Ex - Decrease defect rate to 1 %
Use Six Sigma Tools such as
Voice of Customer
Value stream Mapping
Process Map to find variables
Process thinking map
Fish Bone Diagram to list all
variables
Measure Phase : Collect Data
Quantify the problem
Collect related data
Calculate Present Sigma level ,
process capability indices

Analyze Phase : Find the Root Cause
26-Oct-21
Compare present Cp and Cpk with Six
Sigma standards (Cp or Cpk = 2)
Use - Fish Bone diagram to find root
causes
Identify the key variable . Establish
standards
Improve Phase : Reach Excellence
26-Oct-21
Check the progress
Calculate new Cp and Cpk
Compare old and new capabilities
Improve the process
The goal is Cp , Cpk value of 2
Control Phase : Sustain the Gains
26-Oct-21
Never allow workers to change
settings
Sustain Excellence – Check Progress
Quality Costs - Nasa challenger disaster (1986)
– 8 dead and over a Billion dollar loss
26-Oct-21
The cause of accident was
A faulty O’ring Sealing, a kind of
Washer used to prevent escape of
Hot gasses from the engine.
It failed to expand under cold
weather.

Quality Costs - Toyota takes $2bn hit from
global safety recall (2010)
Carmaker Toyota had
brake problems with
Prius
Toyota suffered $2bn
(£1.26bn) extra costs
as a result of a global
safety recall

Benefits of Six Sigma
U.S. Army
Using Six Sigma methods, saved over $2 billion.
General Electric
Reduced costs in excess of $1.8 billion.
Allied Signal
Saved $800 million by implementing Six Sigma
Lift Truck Manufacturer
Saves $1.5 Million Since Adopting Six Sigma

Is Six Sigma Suitable to Libya ?
Yes, It is certainly suitable
My own research conducted at Animal Feed plant
located in Shahaat indicated that, Libyan Industries
are suitable for the implementation of Six sigma.

Conclusions:
Six Sigma Quality Improvement process can
be applied to any Organization.
It is possible to implement Six Sigma in
Libya , as there is a huge scope for
improvement here.
Six Sigma helps organizations to reach
World-Class Quality Levels.
