CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
Understand the primary
sources for project selection
and the characteristics of a
good Six Sigma project.
Become familiar with the nature
of projects.
Provide an understanding of the
components of a project
including description, selection,
scope, success factors,
planning, authorization and
review.
Provide an understanding of the
different types of project
baselines and their calculations.

SIX SIGMA PROJECTS
Projects are the means by which processes are changed they are
the bridge from PLANNING to DOING.
A Six Sigma Project is a problem scheduled for solution that has a
set of metrics that can be used to establish project goals and
objectives and monitor the projects progress.
There are many dimensions to successful Six Sigma projects
including:
selection of a good project
assigning the right Green/Black Belt
project completion on a timely manner
project support
management review
The RIGHT PROJECTS and the RIGHT PEOPLE are essential
elements for successful Six Sigma projects.

SIX SIGMA PROJECTS
There are 2 types of problems one where the solution is known and
one where the solution is unknown.
Six Sigma is aimed at the problem where the solution is not known.
We need one or more measurements to quantify the magnitude of the
problem as well as establish projects goals and objectives.
When a problem has a known solution, the project should be
completed by:
assigning a project manager
providing the required resources
utilizing solid project management techniques
Six Sigma techniques are not necessarily needed here.
However, the project and the company will benefit from the use of Six
Sigma measurement and monitoring techniques.

PROJECT SELECTION

KEYS TO PROJECT
SELECTION SUCCESS
Select projects that are manageable dont try to boil the
ocean.
Select projects that are achievable.
4-14
Create the VISION
Identify Primary Business Objectives (PBO)
(Management)
Link PBO with site Functional Objectives (FO)
Link FO to department objectives and
performance measurements
PROJECT SELECTION
Identify Opportunities
Identify sources of waste and inefficiencies at
(Champion, RBB, BB) the process level using yield, cycle time,
DPMO, sigma levels, etc.
PROCESS
Select Projects
Estimate time to completion.
(Champion, RBB, BB)
Determine resources required.
Determine risks.

PRIMARY BASELINE
MEASUREMENTS
Yardstick to measure success.
Links problem to the objectives.
Helps define scope of project.
Must be SPECIFIC and MEASURABLE.
Falls into one of the following categories:
Defect Reduction
Cycle Time Reduction
Consumption Reduction

BARRIERS TO TEAM
SUCCESS
Team not supported by management.
No Champion
Champion is not meeting with Green Belt or Black Belt.
Few or poor management reviews.
Green Belt or Black Belt and team not given adequate time to work on
project.
Project goals and objectives not important to site or company.

GREEN BELT or BLACK BELT
Once a projected scrap reduction ratio is determined, the ratio will be applied
against future GMPO which can be calculated by multiplying the EAU for those
items by frozen cost of the same item.

2. REWORK
Reduction of material to be salvaged will reduce
rework hours. Savings are calculated by hours
reduced multiplied by related overhead rates and
labor rates. Inventory dollars will also be reduced.
PLEASE NOTE:
Plant I.E. (Mfg.) and or Finance (transactional) function is
responsible for deriving and verifying savings.
If savings are planned or reported as cost reduction, do not
double count/claim as Six Sigma saving or vice versa.
Capital investment should NOT be subtracted from savings
and should be paid-off within 2 years.
Six Sigma savings will be updated as the project progresses
through each phase. 4-35
