DMAIC Six Sigma - Control

• Implement Controls
• Determine process capability, implement controls
  to ensure continuance assign process ownership
  and manage organizational change
• Standardize
• Create standard operating procedures create and
  implement training programs document project
• Evaluate Benefit
• Calculate the profit of the project and identify
  opportunities for replication

Agenda for Control

• Standardization
• Financial Benefit
• Change Management
• Process Monitoring
• Process Capability
• Response Plan
• Closure

Standardization and Documentation
Role of SOP
To create uniformity, consistency and
reliability, to reduce errors to support
training needs
Steps necessary to create SOPs

• Purpose and frequency of task
• Who will perform the task?
• The steps involved
• Corrective actions if performed incorrectly
• Timing for updates and revisions

Benefits of Standard Work

• Allows for Monitoring and Control
• Reduces Process Variation
• Provides Input for ISO9000 Certification
• Document what you do, and then do what you have
  documented!
• Helps Maintain the Gains from Improvement

• Decide computation method early
• Conservative and defendable
• Time value of money
• Benefits Issues
• Projection for 1 to 2
• years only
• Hard and soft benefits
• Certified by Finance Dept.

Estimating Benefits

• Case Study 1 Improvement, or Not?!
• Prior to the implementation of an improvement
  project, the mean number of defects was 80 per
  week, and the range of defects was 40 to 120. The
  improvement project yielded a 25 improvement in
  the defect rate, but no change in the range.
• The team reported the improvement to management.
  However, no change was observed by the customer.
• Why Not?

Estimating Benefits

• Case Study 2 Estimating Future Benefits

An improvement project yielded an estimated
100,000 per year. The team reported a project
benefit of 500,000, as they believed that the
projects benefit would last for five years.
What is your opinion?

Estimating Benefits

• Case Study 3 Estimating Future Benefits

An improvement project yielded an estimated
50,000 per year, based on a calculation that one
less person would be needed for a task, once the
new improved process is implemented. The CFO
said that she would only agree to certify this
benefit if the affected department would reduce
their salary budget by 50,000 for the next
year. What is your opinion?
