UT Six Sigma - Week 1
Six Sigma is a measure-methodology-philosophy that enables a business to achieve world-class quality, and the training facilitates this achievement. The first part of the course introduces the concept of a Six Sigma culture along with the benefits that are derived from using the tools and methodology of this long-term business strategy. Although the statistical complexity is minimized upfront, the concepts introduced, if methodically and tenaciously pursued, lay the foundation for yielding 60-70% process improvement. The Input-Process-Output (IPO) diagram looks at input variables as sources of variation, while the output is measured against what is critical to the customer in terms of accuracy, timeliness, and cost. PF/CE/CNX/SOP is more than just a series of acronyms. Rather, it is a powerful approach to truly understanding our processes and systematically improving them.
