General Electric
In 1995 GE mandated each employee to
work towards achieving 6 sigma
The average process at GE was 3 sigma in
1995
In 1997 the average reached 3.5 sigma
GEs goal was to reach 6 sigma by 2001
Investments in 6 sigma training and
projects reached 45MUS$ in 1998, profits

MOTOROLA
At Motorola we use statistical methods
daily throughout all of our disciplines to
synthesize an abundance of data to
derive concrete actions.
How has the use of statistical methods
within Motorola Six Sigma initiative, across
disciplines, contributed to our growth?
Over the past decade we have reduced inprocess defects by over 300 fold, which

Barriers to implementation
Barrier #1: Engineers and managers are not interested in
mathematical statistics
Barrier #2: Statisticians have problems communicating with
managers and engineers
Barrier #3: Non-statisticians experience statistical anxiety
which has to be minimized before learning can take place
Barrier # 4: Statistical methods need to be matched to
management style and organizational culture

Process
1.Define high-level project goals and the current process.
2.Measure key aspects of the current process and collect relevant
data.

Define opportunity
Define goals to improve the overall process
between a companys strategy and the
demands of its customers.
It can also be referred to the group and the
groups or individuals that one has to support.
24
Measure correctness
Measure the correctness of the current
processes.
Collection of relevant data on the current
process and then
Use this data as a baseline for future
comparisons.
25
Analyze opportunity
Analyze the companys relationship with
process.
The relationship between the factors that
ensure to keep the companys strategy in
with the customer demands should
understood well.

Improve performance
It is important to constantly improve and
optimize the process, using analysis and other
techniques.
One
often used technique is Design of
Experiments.
This is a technique that can help to test a
hypothesis, using acceptable experimental
design.
27
Control performance
Control ensures that one can control and
correct any variances avoiding possibly costly
defects and loss of quality.
Many times pilot runs are set up to study
process capability and production transition.
Pilot runs can help fine tune or add additional
control mechanisms.

What is a BELT?
Belt refers to the level or the position, of a person in an
organization at the time of performing a work or at the
time of implementation of a project.
Champion
Lay down policies and guidelines regarding
functioning of six sigma teams
Approves six sigma projects
Removes road blocks in the path of six
sigma implementation
Receives presentations
Monitors project
Make available necessary resources
Sort out conflicts
