2. Six Sigma [a greek symbol ] represents standard deviation of sample data Coined by Bill Smith Motorola Engineer Circa 1986 Standard deviation is a measure of Variance..
3. Devil lies in the Variance… An Average process On Average can perform within expectation But its inherent high variance results in failed customer service Consider guaranteed Pizza delivery within 30 minutes.. Where mean delivery time is 24 minutes but SE is 3, such a process will have a large proportion of delayed delivery ~ 31 % [being 2 sigma]
4. Six Sigma is about controlling variance Reduce Variance … … .. Improve Performance How many SE can you fit within customer expectation? How much does an SE translate into improved performance?

6. This means a lot…. Many Times even 6 sigma is not good enough… just imagine flying an airline that assures 6 Sigma on flight success!! 3 6 ~ 900 flights cancellations / week - USA 1 US flight cancellation / 3 weeks Every hour 47,000 ISD calls drop The same number of drops would take 2 years.. ~ 11000 typos in 1 Harry Potter Book ~ 7 typos in 1 Harry Potter Book

11. Customer is Important 1 End Customers’ needs is Primary Customer’s customer Voice of the Customer PIE – Analysis CTQ – based QFD Ishikawa diagrams
12. Measurement is key Data & Fact driven management measurement systems that track both results and outcomes and Process, Input, and other predictive factors.
13. Evolve to excel. Continuous Improvement PDCA Control Systems Knowledge systems Improve every process constantly forever..
14. Total Quality Approach Quality is everything Quality enhances the brand Quality drives growth & revenue Quality can eliminate errors Quality needs increased awareness End Proactive awarding of business on price tag alone-instead minimize total cost
15. Just do it.. Bring hands-on involved approach to quality.. Institute training on the job Adopt and institute Leadership Drive out fear Break down barriers between staff areas Eliminate Slogans, exhortations and targets for workforce Eliminate numerical quotas Empower employees
