Transcription

Six Sigma SystemsPrinciplesModule 2.1Joel Cutcher-GershenfeldSenior Research Scientist, MIT Sloan School of Management andExecutive Director, MIT Engineering Systems Learning CenterPresentation for:ESD.60 – Lean/Six Sigma SystemsMIT Leaders for Manufacturing Program (LFM)Summer 2004These materials were developed as part of MIT's ESD.60 course on "Lean/Six Sigma Systems." In some cases,the materials were produced by the lead instructor, Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld, and in some cases by student teamsworking with LFM alumni/ae. Where the materials were developed by student teams, additional inputs from thefaculty and from the technical instructor, Chris Musso, are reflected in some of the text or in an appendix

Six Sigma¾ Concept:¾ The Goal: To produce goods and services at a Six Sigma level. Asyour organization moves toward Six Sigma quality, you will:¾ eliminate defects¾ reduce production and development costs¾ reduce cycle times and inventory levels¾ increase profit margin and improve customer satisfaction¾ The Vision: Drive industries to design and produce products/servicesto Six Sigma standards.¾ The Strategy: Use a data-driven structured approach to attack defectsto improve the sigma level of your goods and services.¾ Application:¾ Useful in any enterprise that provides products or services forcompanies Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld – ESD.60 Lean/Six Sigma Systems, LFM, MITPart I: IntroductionPart II: ConceptsPart III: Application6/9/04 -- 3Part IV: DisconnectsPart V: Conclusion

Core Concept: Stabilize Before You ImproveWhich player did better in this round?Who will do better in the long run? Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld – ESD.60 Lean/Six Sigma Systems, LFM, MITPart I: IntroductionPart II: ConceptsPart III: Application6/9/04 -- 4Part IV: DisconnectsPart V: Conclusion

Core Concept: y f(x)¾ How do you determine “y”?¾ How do you determine the “x”s?¾ How do you collect the data on the “x”s?¾ How do you conduct the f(x) analysis?
