Six Sigma--Statistical Process Control
If you were an engineer charged with the health of a dam, would you fix a leak by pressing a cork into the crack? Would you consider such a solution permanent? When a Six Sigma?? team imposes control measures on a process it has improved, it does so with the idea of making its improvements long-lasting. The Control phase of the DMAIC model (Define, Measure, Analyze, Inform, Control) doesn't rely

Six Sigma and the Voice of the Customer
Do you know the phrase, "caveat emptor"? It's a Latin term that means, "Let the buyer beware." It's also a legal principle stating that consumers must purchase goods at their own risk, because unless specifically asked, the seller is generally under no obligation to disclose defects. Caveat emptor once struck fear in the hearts of many wary consumers. Fortunately, the tide has turned. Increased

Defining and Mapping the Six Sigma Process
Maps are incredible tools. They show--on one page--where you are, where you want to go, the best way to get there, and endless alternate routes. Without maps, we would be left to wander unknown paths to uncertain destinations, encountering untold pitfalls along the way. Maps are also important tools in guiding Six Sigma?? teams in the quest for process improvement; it is impossible to improve a

Scoping the Six Sigma Project
Six Sigma?? Black Belts are called upon to solve problems that have no known solutions. This is a risky endeavor. Yet Six Sigma deployment has a track record of success. One of the keys to its success is proper project scoping. No one wants to try to do it all with a single opportunity. Six Sigma projects need to be selected mindfully and scoped appropriately. Yet, without known solutions,
