10 Ways to Failure for a New Six Sigma Deployment


10 Ways to Failure for a New Six Sigma Deployment

The returns from a well-deployed Six Sigma initiative can be richly rewarding. The results of many business organizations stand in testimony to that. But the opposite also is true. Ten major points are critical to the success or failure of a Six Sigma deployment. Here the points are outlined as the 10 ways that a Six Sigma initiative can fail:


1- Lack of Commitment from the Top
2- Part-time Black Belts
3- Projects Not Linked to Organizational Objectives
4- Focusing on Quantity Instead of Quality
5- No Review Mechanism
6- No Visible Reward and Recognition Mechanism
7- No Infrastructural Support to Teams Working on Projects
8- Copy-and-Paste Deployment
9- Too Much Insistence on Statistics and Tools
10- Expecting Too Much and Too Soon

Lack of Commitment from the Top is the major factor, not only part-time Black Belts assigned but also part-time green belt, part-time leader and part-time team member. They cant focus on the project due to the load of daily job.

And never provide good training, they just want to make it fast, few days course and run the project

For some consultants, Six Sigma is merely a set of quality management tools, statistical methodology and a form of employee certification that supposedly guarantees mastery of implementing Six Sigma principles. Though it is often the case that there is only really a rudimentary understanding of the tools and techniques involved that by itself, would be insufficient to drive real change. Even worse some consultants will try to train and certify your entire company, when only relatively few team-members ever really need to be to gain the best results. While most companies have attempted to implement some form of Six Sigma strategy, the actual bottom-line results in many cases have been disappointing.

I think reward and recognition system is part of HR policy. Anyway, this is the most important issue because employee won't see how they should learn six sigma.

To provides the desired services by means of Six Sigma, projects should be coordinated with the strategic objectives of the company. Democratic approach is not at all going to work over here.

It is true if a system is not reviewed it will result to failure.
Lean six sigma provides best techniques and process but will show no result if not practiced carefully.

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) and Crystal Ball Case Study

Background In this case study, we are a compressor manufacturer in the process of developing a new type of compressor. Our project team was charged with developing the design for the compressor using Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) tools and techniques. As we worked through the DMA DV (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Verify) process, we used simulation and optimization to provide project justification, lend insight into the critical drivers of quality, and help create a cost effective design th at meets customer requirements. For DFSS, critical benefits of simulation and optimization are the ability to prototype new products or processes without an appreciable investment of time or money, minimal defects, and sales driven through improved customer satisfaction. Define The first step in our Six Sigma process was to estimate the financial impact of this project. We started by developing a simple spreadsheet model (DFSS Case Study Defin e.xls) in Microsoft ® Excel to take into ...

Variation is a serious thing

Many parts have to fit together to make a product, like a cell phone. When engineers design the parts, they account for the fact that all parts will display some amount of variation as they are produced. Variation is the degree to which a part, product, service, or transaction differs from all others in the same class or category. In the case of a phone, each class of parts, like the plastic casting, vary in size, weight, and even color. Just as the phone cases vary, so does the clear plastic display that covers the liquid crystal display. Then you have the many hinges, buttons, antenna, internal component, and so on. All these parts have to snap and fit together well if the phone is to perform its function to your satisfaction. In other words, you can only tolerate a certain amount of variation. A little too much variation and the phone won’t work property. A little more variation and it won’t work at all. And we all know who’s going to end up with the bad phone, right?
