WHAT is lean six-sigma?
(And what is it not?)
![Page 4: Lean Six-Sigma 101](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052202/541600238d7f72a26c8b4659/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

• Six-Sigma is process-focused
Fix the process, and the outcome shall take care of itself.
• A process has measurable outcomes
Measurement is a prerequisite to improvement
• The outcomes follow the laws of statistics
Normal Distribution
![Page 6: Lean Six-Sigma 101](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052202/541600238d7f72a26c8b4659/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Tightening the bell-curve means reducing the spread
to make a process reliable
When acceptable variation is within 6 of the mean, the no. of defects is only 3.4 per million opportunities.
![Page 8: Lean Six-Sigma 101](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052202/541600238d7f72a26c8b4659/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS
Tackle variation before adjusting the mean

Lean Six-Sigma is a
framework that provides
a structured approach to
eliminate waste and improve
customer satisfaction

WHERE is lean six-
sigma applicable?
![Page 13: Lean Six-Sigma 101](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052202/541600238d7f72a26c8b4659/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
SIX-SIGMA HAS A BAD REP!
![Page 14: Lean Six-Sigma 101](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052202/541600238d7f72a26c8b4659/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
NO PAIN NO GAIN
NO PAIN NO PAIN
Employees set their own goals based on team goals
Employees are the source of ideas and managers facilitate successful
outcomes Employees are responsible for their career path and managers provide development feedback to set them up for success
Managers set goals for employees
Managers hand out report-cards to employees judging past performance
Culture of Empowerment Six-Sigma likely to succeed
Culture of Dependency Six-Sigma likely to fail
An employee must take manager’s permission when stepping outside
the scope of assigned tasks

HOW DOES LEAN SIX-SIGMA APPLY TO SERVICES AS FOR MANUFACTURING?
![Page 16: Lean Six-Sigma 101](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052202/541600238d7f72a26c8b4659/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
MANUFACTURING OR SERVICES
OUTCOMES ARE PRODUCED BY A
LEAN PRINCIPLES CAN BE APPLIED TO:
•Suitcases lost at an airport •Rooms not available in time for check-in at a hotel
When acceptable variation is within 6 of the mean, the no. of defects is only 3.4 per million opportunities.

BEFORE Lean Six-Sigma
Each department has its own
view of success
Firmly rooted in its specialization
The success of one has very little to do with that
of

1. Customer Requirements
Voice of Customer (Voc) State the customer’s pain area • Starting point for
launching an effort • Speak the customer’s
language

E.g. An initiative to reduce the volume of customer support
requests may use a template for RoI as
Cost to support tickets on recurring basis
v. Cost to implement
application-fix

Traditional six-sigma treats “y” as a measurable characteristic of the process output
Lean Six-Sigma, “y” is simply something about the process that the customer would care about
Lean Six-Sigma, “y” can simply be the number of tickets logged by an IT Helpdesk in a particular category.

CASE-STUDY
Background One wireless company had a 17% (170,000 parts per million) level of rejected service orders. There were over 30,000 errors per month, which, at an average cost of USD 12.50 to fix (wage cost only), cost USD 375,000 per month. Over 50 temporary workers had been hired to deal with the 2-month backlog of unfixed errors. The objective was to cut this level of rejects in half (9%) by the end of the year.
RUN CHART – Defects per week over a 6 month window
PARETO – 80% defects from 6 transaction codes

The requirements for adding, changing, and deleting data are often too loose, too tight, or nonexistent, which leads to errors and rejected transactions that must be corrected manually by people hunched over
computer terminals for 8 hours a day.

CASE-STUDY
Outcome Programmers took 4 months to implement the solution. The changes completely eliminated the two top service-affecting errors, and three of the four record-affecting changes. It cut total errors by 77%. This reduction translated to USD 299,426 per month in savings—over USD 3 Million per year.
Root-cause analysis showed that the top categories could be eliminated by baking appropriate business rules into IT

A significant chunk of lean projects can originate in the maintenance phase of the lifecycle Although projects can start in any phase.
