Course 1: Up to the level of green belt


Understand the background and meaning of the six sigma methodology and the role pf
The DMAIC process improvement cycle.
Translate customer expectations unto critical to quality parameters.
Identify influencing parameters using process mapping
Calculate proccess yield and proccess capability

Term “sigma” is used to designate a distribution or spread about the average of any process or
procedure.

For a process the sigma capability is a metric that indicates how well process is performing.

The higher the sigma capability, the better the process, sigma capability measures the capability of
the process to produce defect-free outputs.

Main 6 themes of six sigma:


1. Focus on the costumer. - satisfies customers needs.
2. Data and fact-driven management. - taking measurements, no room for decisions on feelings.
3. Process focus. - analyze it fully to control and improve it.
4. Proactive management - setting ambitious goals and clear priorities. Top management
support. Prevent problems from occurring.
5. Boundary-less collaboration. - Common goals (customer satisfaction) team supporting one
another
6. Drive for perfection (with tolerance for failure) - < 3.4 defects per million of opportunities.

DMAIC process improvement cycle


Define
– Customer expectations
– Project goal
– Project team
– Milestones, budget
– Basic process flow

Measure
– process mapping
– Sampling plan design
– Measure CTQ parameters - establish process capability

Analyze
– Causal hypotheses
– Key influencing factors for Critical-To-Quality parameters
– Prioritization of improvement projects

Improve
– establish a hypothesis to be tested
– Analyze the data for the new process to show that the implemented changes result in an
improved process and quantify this improvement

Control
– Statistical process control
– Control charts

Six sigma roadmap - as a problem solving strategy

Y(CTQ) = f (all possible X-Influencers)


Y = output or Critical to Quality parameters of the customers values.
X = parameters that affect or influence the Ys.

The object is to move from the left side to the right side of the equation.

Doe- design of experiment.

Example:
Defect: occurs during any process step when the outcome of the process is not the expected
(specified in advanced)

Process yield
How are the levels of defects measured?
p = # of defective units produced at a process step / total number of produce units going into the
process step
Also known as fraction defective - defect rate - failure rate
If you turn it into a percentage = percentage defective

Yield = # good units produced at a process step / # total units going into the process step
= 1-p

If you have more than one process ( or part ) to make your product where

n: number of process Steps (or parts)


1-p: yield at each process step (all steps or parts have same yield)

Process yield = (1-p)^n


Process yield = also known as “first pass yield”, “ first time yield” or “ roll throughput yield”

For different yields at each process steps, you have to multiply the yields for each step together:
A: yield at step 1 B: yield at step 2 C: yield at step 3 ….

Process yield = (a)(b)(c)


Parts per million: ppm

For a 99.99966% yield at each step what is the ppm?


Yield= 1-p
0.9999966=1-p
p=1-0.9999966
p= 0.0000034
ppm= 0.0000034*1,000,000
ppm=3.4
