Is 99% Good Enough?

If so, then we would experience:

- 20,000 lost pieces of mail per hour
- Unsafe drinking water for 15 minutes per day
- 2 short or long landings at major airports everyday
- No electricity for 7 hours per month

In your business, there are similar analogies.

For example, if your process has many steps, yield loss for the process may be high despite very low yield loss at each individual step.

For example:

Step 1 yields 99%
Step 2 yields 99%
Step 3 yields 99%
Step 4 yields 99%
Step 5 yields 99%
Step 6 yields 99%

Process Yield (or Rolled Throughput Yield) is 94%. This is calculated by multiplying the yield of all six steps.

The Six Sigma philosophy and tools help drive out variation and improve yield. If this is applied at constraints in your business, the benefits drop immediately to your bottom line.

Our Six Sigma approach is designed specifically for participation by the leadership team and employees who need to:

• Develop a foundational understanding of what Six Sigma is about
• Understand what tools are used to apply Six Sigma
• Know the potential impact of each tool on performance
• Implement Six Sigma in the business

Typical Six Sigma Topics:

Fundamental product delivery system behaviors

• Relationship of product delivery system parameters
  
• Process Improvement Physics
  
• Impact of Six Sigma & Lean Manufacturing on product delivery system performance
  
• Process Improvement Options

Six Sigma and Tools

• Building problem solving strategies
  
• Process Mapping
  
• Statistical Process Control
  
• Measurement System Analysis
  
• Design of Experiments
  
• Advanced Sampling Plan Development

Integration of Six Sigma with Lean, High Performance Work Teams etc.
