Benefits of Six Sigma

Six Sigma helps companies cut costs and increase productivity
Six Sigma improves the quality of project output by reducing inefficiencies and defects
Six Sigma increases customer satisfaction and loyalty
Certified Six Sigma professionals can help significantly increase ROI
There are mainly two methodologies of Six Sigma namely DMAIC and DMADV.

DMAIC

DMAIC is a data-driven Six Sigma methodology for improving existing products and processes. The DMAIC process should be used whenever an existing product or process can be improved to meet or exceed customer requirements. The DMAIC methodology consists of five phases:

Define - Define project objectives and deliverables (internal and external).
Measure - Measure the process to determine current process performance (baseline).
Analyse - Discover the root causes of defects.
Improve - Improve the process by eliminating defects.
Control - Control future performance.

DMADV

is a common DFSS (Design for Six Sigma) methodology used to develop a process or product that does not yet exist in the company. DFSS is an application of Six Sigma that focuses on the design or redesign of the various processes used in the manufacture of products or delivery of services by considering customer needs and expectations. DMADV is used when the existing product or process does not meet the customer specification or Six Sigma level, even after optimisation with or without using DMAIC. DMADV methodology consists of five phases:

Define the project objectives and customer deliverables
Measure the process to determine the current level of performance
Analysis and determine the root causes of defects
Design the process in detail to meet customer needs
Validate the performance of the design and its ability to meet customer needs
