Launsby Consulting - design of experiments,six sigma,and SPC

What is "Six Sigma"?
Six Sigma is a system of methodologies that allows companies to be more profitable by improving processes to reduce errors, increase yields, minimize expenses and increase customer satisfaction. It can be applied to processes in all areas of a company - from paperwork to manufacturing to design. Rather than just finding and eliminating errors, Six Sigma methodologies seek to develop processes in such a way to prevent errors from occurring in the first place.

The overall philosophy of Six Sigma is that there is a directly proportional relationship between problems with the product and levels of customer satisfaction. Implementation of Six Sigma methodologies provides the means to achieve product excellence.

What are the benefits?
Initially Six Sigma methodologies were used predominantly in manufacturing areas with benefits of reduced waste, higher yield, better throughput, and reduced lead times. As the methodologies were utilized in other areas of companies, additional benefits were realized such as:

        reduced design time for the next generation product
        leapfrog advances over the competition
        accurate and efficient customer transactions
        efficiency gains in internal operations

At the level of Six Sigma, products are designed to be nearly perfect. Most companies are nowhere near a Six Sigma level of performance (four sigma is considered as a typical average). At a four sigma level of performance, organizations are producing approximately 6200 defects per million opportunities.
