Choose a process at an organization of your choice (for example, your workplace) that you think needs improvement. The process could be a purchasing process, an employee recruitment process, a manufacturing process, a design process, or any other process of your interest. In two or three pages, write the problem statement.
1-3 Milestone One: Six Sigma Problem Statement Choose a process at an organization of your choice (for example, your workplace) that you think needs improvement. The process could be a purchasing process, an employee recruitment process, a manufacturing process, a design process, or any other process of your interest. In two or three pages, write the problem statement. 3-4 Milestone Two: The Define Phase For the process you chose in 1-3: Create a project scope statement of two or three pages for your Six Sigma project. The project deliverables in your project scope statement should be related to solving the main problem you identified in 1-3. Construct an SIPOC for your Six Sigma project. 4-4 Milestone Three: Repeatability and Reproducibility For the process you chose (for your term project) in 1-3, write a report of 200-400 words about the repeatability and reproducibility of the measurement system. Address the following issues: What data must you collect? Who will collect the data? How do you trust that the data is accurate? 5-3 Milestone Four: The Measure Phase For the process you chose in 1-3, set the following values: process target ( ), upper specification (U), and lower specification (L). Then take appropriate samples to estimate the process mean () and the process standard deviation ( ). Calculate the following for your process: Defectives per Million Opportunities (DPMO) Yield Process capability ratio (Cp) Process capability index (Cpk) 6-4 Milestone Five: The Analyze Phase Using Minitab and/or a cause-and-effect diagram, identify the root cause of the problem you are trying to solve for the process you chose in 1-3. Also, construct a main effects plot, if applicable. 7-3 Milestone Six: Statistical Process Control For the process you chose in 1-3, identify the type (variable or attribute) of data you have collected for the outputs of interest. Construct the appropriate control charts, based on the knowledge gained from the Module Six overview. Ensure that your data is stable before proceeding to the Analyze phase of your Six Sigma term project. 8-3 Milestone Seven: The Improve and Control Phases Refer to the root cause you identified in 6-4. Prepare a plan to improve the process by eliminating the root cause. Estimate the time and cost involved. Also, document potential risks during the improvement process and prepare risk responses for the same
