Best Format for Six Sigma Final Report

I am also preparing the final report so I would too be interested in hearing from the experts on what the best approach is.

I am no expert, but have written 5 final reports (we call them control plans), this is what I do.

Front page is a sign off sheet for the project. Includes the names of all the team members, sponsor, champion/MBB, local finance & corporate finance.

Then is a short introduction, stating the problems and reason for the project and the goals of the project.

Then a description of the key 6s tools used and where used (definatley not too technical)

Next is the control plan i.e. how to monitor & measure the performance after you hand it back and what to do if the process is going out of control. Remember the sustain part of this is the most important.

Finally a financial summary and projected ROI/EVA for the project.

Also I usually stick in a couple of key charts as appendix. C&E metrix, I&MR charts showing performance before and after improvement phase.

In total the document is only 6 pages excluding appendix. Hope this helps / what you are looking for. I was in the same possition as you once and just had to do something, so far no one has complained.

Regards, David.

The DOLLAR TEST

Hold a dollar at your shoulder, start your presentation and release the dollar. 

If the VP is not interested by the time the dollar hits the ground, you fail. 

Its all about the money. 

I feel thats all they want to see so that's all we need to spend our time showing them.  If they have questions on how the money was made or saved, go to slide two and begin the explanation.

I use a Power Point format and send the report out to our Upper Management Staff on a monthly basis. In this report (called "Six Sigma Metrics Report") I identify in the beginning the project and objectives, then I follow that with the team members and "Metric Owners" who contributed to the success of the project. After that I put in a few of the CTQ metrics and their current performance against baseline performance (basically I show a rolling time period to demonstrate continuous improvement). At the end of the report I include the Control Plan for the project along with the Project Financial Report (I put this at the end so that I know the management staff will have to look through the CTQ's before they get to the bottom line $$). I have had good response from the staff on this communication method.

Good Luck,

Brad M.

Keeping the audience in mind (a Vice President with or without knowledge of Six Sigma methodology details), I would start with the DMAIC process/briefing you use to "certify" as a green/black belt and synthethize it to meet the audience's needs. I would start out with a context setting moment for the VP if he needs it and then launch into the report/presentation.  I would report in a "veni, vidi, vici" format ("I came, I saw, I conquered") making sure the VP got the message on the ROI and how you are now armed with tools to conquer other company process problems.

Just   my 2 cents worth.

Bob H.

I have finished my first project. For my project, I writted the turnover package for process owner as final report. It should cover:

Contents

1.	Project recognition
2.	Project charter
3.	Executive summary
4.	Project details
5.	6 Sigma project deliverables by phase
6.	Main tracking
7.	Lessons learned
8.	Supporting data

How about this? 1)The Current State Metric, 2) the future state metric, 3)Productivity Improvements metric achieved/foreseen (Cost reduction, cycle time improvement, inventory reduction, quality/reliability improvement, customer satisfaction, new design feature), 4) Pareto (options investigated) 5)Fishbone (Top 1 or 2 topics investigated from Pareto), 6)Schedule/Implementation Done 7)Metrics for Sustainment Efforts

Good Luck 6S Champion

Dear Brad

Thanks for the best format.

Can you kindly email me a sample report please ?

Niloy Mitter

Would it be possible for me to get a copy of the report with the company name removed? I do not want confidential data, but I would love to see what it looks like.

Thank you for your time and assistance

Good Monday morning to everyone!

Hello folks,

Its report time!  I searched the iSixSigma site for past postings regarding project reports, only one posting about a year ago.  Some good ideas were found.  Does anyone have any good thoughts or formats that worked well for them to add that I can (steal)...I mean borrow?

Has an uniform accepted format been developed for 6S?  Seems something as powerful as 6S that uses the same tools across the boards would be reported out the same way so anyone would understand what was done.

Jeepers..I'm begining to worry about the Red Sox after this weekend too.

Later,

Billybob

Billybob,

I've consulted for years now on Six Sigma and have yet to see the same reporting structure or reports used at different companies. Each company likes to "accomplish" things in different manners -- it speaks to the company culture. So, unfortunately, no one template fits all sizes.

I personally like the one page review sheet that includes a summary of each phase, main tools used, main findings. I can then ask BBs the significance of the tools/findings, etc. Usually the BB will need a few pages per phase as backup information during the tollgate reviews.

Hope that helps,

Conrad

For us, the main purpose of a final report is to share the knowledge obtained during the development of your project and results (wether good or not good).  We have two ways of doing this: 

1.- Project posters, which are updated during the project development period and posted in different locations where many people can see them to promote conversation and obtain new ideas (this also helps to generate buy-in for your solutions and new projects).  

2.- Final project report, where we ask the Blackbelts to share experiences (good and bad, barriers, new tools they discover along the way, etc.), around the whole process along with their final results in terms of impacting a business KPI or financial return.  This report is then formally handed over to the process owner who takes responsibility for sustaning and reporting the benefits, and completing implementation of longer term solutions.  The report includes at least: Team Charter, Stakeholders and their Requirements, Data Collection and Analysis,  Baseline Sigma Calculation, Root Cause Analysis, Possible Solutions Identified and Evaluated, Selected Solution/s, Pilot (when applicable), Implementation Plan (including Gantt Chart, training and communication), KPI´s and Monitoring System (including responsible persons).  We also ask them to document all their team meetings with agendas and minutes to assess their facilitation and knowledge transfer skills.

We also use this report to identify any transferrable knowledge that can be applied in other parts of the business.

Hope this helps.

Besie

Besie,

Thanks so much for your thoughts on the best format for a six sigma final report - they helped me tremendously!

Reynold

You are doing two things 1) Reporting your success ,2) Selling the six sigma methodology.  Both are important

Typical presentations in sixsigma are referred to as a storyboard, this document should be a cumulative document enlarging as you go through the various stages DMAIC of a process.  The key to a successful project is a demonstration ofthe 1) Problem statement, 2) a Current state process map which details the process in question as you found it when you started. Several graphical representations of the data you measured to confirm the state of the process as you found it in the analysis phase you should have utilize some methodology for statistically determining the root causes, in improve you determinedthe best solution (s) to the root causes and pehapsa pilot project with results that confirmed you fixed it. In the control phase you should have a control plan and a listing of lessons learned and perhaps future rocommendation on other issues affecting the process.

I am surprised that when you were taught the sixsigma methodology no one mentioned the storyboard.

Oh well..

Hope this helps.

Hi Kofi,

It would be a good idea to prepare a powerpoint presentation. One stroy board for each stage - highlighting the various steps and tools and analysis drawn during the course of each stage.

Rohit Madhavan

David, I totally agree with this approach. 

I think the best way is to get to the point quickly; show the "what was" against the "new approach" and a couple of the Six Sigma tools used are good to demonstrate the value add of Six Sigma.  The key is if you are asked to do a 5 minute presentation, do just that.

Dear Friends, Plz have a look at the following page :- http://www.osat.umich.edu/sixsigma/Reference/templates.htm This page contains templates for six sigma reports and presentations. Regards Mukul

Any chance of getting a copy of your report? I am also planning to present but I do not have any examples to refer too. Thanks

I would also like to see this  format if you could be so kind.

Hi John,

My name is Kevin Potter and I work for a company who has just started a Six Sigma initiative.  We have just completed our project selection and are entering the Define stage.  I got hung up with the Project Charter step.

I thought an example of one of your final reports might grant me a better overall understanding.

Thank you in advance,

Kevin

John,

As a MBB the best format is one that meets the certification guidelines as laid down by your MBB or certifying consultancy.  I.e if a Final Report contains all the elements that the MBB is looking for to certify you then that's great.  You may wish to lay it out in a logical storyboard format so that your presentation is understood by your 6 Sigma Champion and senior Execs alike - afterall you are fixing an issue and getting results.  Certification is just an outcome of undeerstanding & appplying appropriate tools, providing the right leadership and getting the result that will satisfy whom ever requested that you work the issue.

Best Regards,

Adam

Haow it comes that you are BB and looking for a project form??

To All,

I work for a private company that has not yet fully adopted the need for Six Sigma methodology.  My department has been pushing upper management for this for some time, and are finally starting to see some interest.  My group will be presenting this methodology and the importance of it to what we do many times in the near future.  What I am looking for is a good SIMPLE presentation template to use to show the DMAIC methodology to other facilities.  If so, could I have a copy of it?  If so, please email to brad.shokesmba.wfu.edu

Thanks

Brad

Brad,

If you spend 30 minutes searching the internet, I used google, you'll find plenty of templates, presentations and examples to use in your report.

Try that.  Good luck.

There is a good one on this forum by the University of Michigan Six Sigma training program.    I use it.   Search for it.

That is what I am doing now, thanks.

I am in the process of setting up a Lean Six Sigma Department. If anyone can provide me with some guidance (Charter, final reports, Reporting responsibilities..etc.) it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a million.

Thank you very much in advance!

You are responding to an old posting.  Try a Google Boolean search for a SS final report format/template from the University of Michigan 's SS trining program.   It's a very good report template.   I have used it in the past, but don't have a copy of it at hand.   It also has a Powerpoint template for SS report presentations.

If 'John' hasn't produced for you be sure to check the link Vinny provided at the UoM, on post number 61912. I just reviewed the stuff and it is fine material, and worth having to get started with, or use as is.

In fact, anyone reading this post with a few extra minutes and a floppy disk should review that link and take what interests you.

email:newmbbyahoo.com

This is probably the longest message thread i have ever seen! i am surprised most people haven't been taught what the story board should look like ( some are certified BB's).

As some one pointed out earlier (last year) the key to an effective presentation is delivery; in terms of understanding what the sponsor/MBB is looking for. As long as you are able to convey what is the current performance (business case),how the current performance affects the process (problem Statement), what you would like to achieve (goal statement, could include monetary benefits), when you are going to get there (milestones for each stage of DMAIC) youi shouldn't be worried about it.

Cheers,

 PS Use power words to make it more effective e.g. reduce, increase, eliminate etc.

I would suggest that you suscribe to this Magazine, it will be $35 well spend.

I hope it helps.

Kriss, you may find this post useful for a selection of formats, suggested by The Sultan of Salmon, our own Vinny. 

http://www.isixsigma.com/forum/showmessage.asp?messageID=61912

We are ever so happy to oblige, as we are a helpful and considerate forum membership. 

 

Where else can you tag into a four year old series of postings and get immediate response.  

 

If you have any more requests please don’t hesitate to let us know.

 

http://www.osat.umich.edu/sixsigma/Reference/templates.htm

 

Vinny

Phil,

Man you are fast.  As I'm trying to think of a wise guy response and still be helpful you beat me to the punch - on both.   I do like that Sultan of Salmon though.  I'll find a way to work it into my CV.

Vinny

Two operators are waiting for your call. And if you order right now, we'll be happy to send you a trial subscription to Stan's infamous white paper explaining the 1.5 sigma shift, or your choice of a two week stay in Las Vegas or Orlando, Florida. Act right now!!!

Vinny, you are indeed a wise man. Must be all that salmon. Brain food. So wise, in fact that Adam even asked to use one of your quotes, I see.

Do you suppose there is a reason he never asked about using some of my Six Sigma work? Do you suppose I should offer to pay some kind of commission, maybe the highest in the industry, say 15 rupee for each usage to get things started? What do you think?

Phil,

 

I shouldn’t tell this, but you’re obviously in pain and doubting the forum receptiveness of your wise counsel.

 

I routinely look for posters who have posted a personal email address and plead with them to respond to my ramblings positively.   When they say no or hold out for cash I have a special PayPal account that lets me move money into their bank accounts.  

 

It only costs me a few hundred dollars a month but the payback is in copying them and when someone comes into my office and asks if I’m screwing around the Internet again, I tersely wave the copies and say things like, “Screwing around???? …. Screwing around????…. I’m helping Phil and the rest of them keep our field centered!!!  Crap!!! What’s it take to get some respect around here????”   

 

I’ll probably be fired soon but then I know where our speed bumps and potholes are – and even who some of the speed bumps and potholes are, so maybe not.

 

But sorry,….you were in pain and my posting was all about me again.  

 

I will say however, I remember that time you gave some sound advice about Six Sigma analytics and remember thinking, “Crap, he does know his stuff!!!”

 

Hope that helped.

 

Vinny

Vinny,

Thanks again for a measure of your wisdom.

BTW, Daisy Duke say's hello. She remembers you from the early years growing up in Texas.

Excellent advice regarding PayPal. I guess that would beat "I'll be the guy wearing the iSixSigma tee shirt and the dredlocks at the ExxonMobil station out on Route 24, six miles from Totetissville at 6 p.m.Don't do anything stupid." which is how I usually settle up with people.

BTW, that sound advice about Six Sigma analytics came from Overnight Phil, whom I pay premium rates to use the screen name Phil from during he daylight hours. He'll appreciate your observation.

Come to think about it, it has been a while since I answered a post seriously.........Thanks Dr. Vinny, I'm cured.........

Hi Vinny,

So does this mean that I can use the word 'crap' on here again?

T.

Tronan,

 

The word “crap” should only be used in the correct context – as within quotation marks for something said or a thought remembered.   It should never just be used directly within a sentence, that’s rude and shows poor form.  

 

A demonstration of sentences applying the rules for using the word “crap” within a technical forum would be:

 

• Stan said to that little old lady asking whether or not Six Sigma would be a good career move for her grandson, “Crap, old lady… who let you out of the home???”     This is acceptable use by Darth describing a hypothetical Stan posting.

 

• I was thinking to myself, “Gee Phil, should I post this crap or not, and then decided, I can’t let that GiMePro dweeb have the inane space all to himself....”  This is acceptable use by Phil posting a recent pre-posting introspection.

 

• I don’t understand why the moderator lets Vinny’s crap be posted and stay once posted.    This is completely unacceptable use by Tronan as it is directly applied within a sentence without quotation mollification. 

 

Hope that helped.  Some of the forum posting idiosyncrasies go well past anything that you’d have learned in school, but it’s good that you keep asking and learning.

 

Vinny

 

Tronan and Vinny,

I believe you forgot one usage appropriate to our forum, the double-secret differentiated possessive punctuated pronoun.

• In a brief interchange between Ms. Vinny and Vinny, during a  late spring, Sunday afternoon regarding habits, behavior and Six Sigma, "Ya big academic blowhard, you told me you were going to organize the crap in the garage, and don't give me any crap about doing a value stream analysis and flowchart on the project before getting started!!!!!!!!!!!!" This is acceptable when using the proper bold font and two usages of the word and at least 10 exclamation points in ending the statement, assuring proper reader involvement in the dynamics of the near miss of a large frying pan heading in Vinny's direction.

Duck, Vinny.

Phil,

Oh yeah.  I forgot about that one.  Sorry Tronan.

Vinny

I'm totally new to the Sigma reporting, but I'm quite fascinated and confused about it's reliability. From what I'm reading, the report should contain the measurable gains, if it is a factory, I suppose it's possible to measure them, providing the whole plant will be changed into a "pilot plant" for the duratation of the report preparation. But how do you go about it in a consulting office where every approach should address individual needs of  a customer?

One more example comes to mind; in the early '80's Lee Iacoca laid off all the engineers at Chrysler, concentrating on rescuing of the corporation, one could have thought that  IT resulted in gains, as no engineers no cost, naturally not for long, but if short goal assumptions are made, driven by the short term profits, the results could be totally illogical.

How long on an average it takes to prepare a full Sigma report, and how acurate are the assumed gains in the reports are vs the reality ?

any and all the answers to these thoughts will be greatly appreciated, kindly please e-mail me at: ckub52yahoo.com

Hey All

I am also working on my final Black Belt project.  I have my actual project that I need to put into the report, just stuck on how to formalize into a report for my final.

Any thoughts or templates that may be useful in getting started?

hi,

i'm very new in six sigme project.

kindly,please send me a format and six sigma report sample.

your support will help me a lot .

Thanks

hi,

I  need your favour.

send me your ss report copy

Hamirudi: I do not have a sample on six sigma report but I wonder if a sample on 7 QC tools would be of any help as you can modify the contents to your six sigma project.

Would anyone be able to feedback, if a report on the similar storyboard line as the 7 QC Tools would be suitable for the Six Sigma project report.

I have attached the report separately and I believe it will be made available in this forum

Hope it is helpful and of some value to you.

A sample report on 7 QC Tools:

I am in the process of writing a six sigma project report for submission to my instructor, for final evaluation of the 3rd phase, and then i will complete my six sigma training, can anybody share some info on what all needs to be submitted.....i am lost in the measure satge.....

Elaborate  more  ........

I went for training  for six sigma green belt technology and have completed the first two stages and now I have to do the final stage of  project submission.

I have completed the define stage and now working through the measure stage. In the deliverables it says to provide Measurement System Analysis and Establish Baseline performance...so what exactly do I have to do...and how will I configure what to deliver in th enext stages...that is analyze,improve and control.

You can now run a GRR on your current measurement tools and appraisers for the MSA.

For the baseline performance, you need to measure your current process sigma level / cpk.

in sequence i would suggest you to complete your MSA first before proceed to baseline performance because it will give you more accurate data to determine your current process sigma level and capability.

I will be grateful if I could receive any reports for six sigma project.

maciej.kowalskimikrostyk.pl

So for MSA i have prepared a excel sheet, and for baseline performance i am lost.....i dont seem to remember what cpk is....i did my exams in march...and got late for doing the project..can u give me a hint..or if u have a copy of the deliverables..pls lemme know...any help is appriciated.

Please  elaborate  more,

thanks

Yes... don't just elaborate. Elaborate MORE.

There is a few way to determine the baseline of your process. It can be your current cpk or ppm or sigma level.

for cpk, you can refresh your memory here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cpk_index

You can get a cpk template here : http://www.asq.org/sixsigma/tools-exchange/docs/process-capability-study.xls

But try not to develop a habit of depending on templates too much when you are a  newcomer in six sigma.

John,

I am a budding LSS black Belt involved with the new US Army's deployment (army wide) of lean six sigma.  What a challenge.  It has to be the biggest enterprise wide deployment.

After reading through all these posts for last 3 years, so many people requested from you samples of your final BB reports.  Did you send any out?

If this reaches you and/or if you sent samples to any of the 30 or so requesters, would you please forward a few to me I would really appreciate it.  I think the university of Michigan report is ok for the college training arena but in the corporate world, what really works?

Thank you

Paul Lacusky

Paul, if you do not get a satisfactory response, you may want to look at the 8D Report format (used heavily in the automotive industry) and adapt it to summarizing a SS project. It addresses the essential concerns around the responses and resolutions of any defect. It's a pretty good road map.

The report form and an instruction sheet are offered in the Free Stuff on opensourcesixsigma.com.

Keep that Army Strong!!

Brandon,

Thank you  for the lead on and 8 D report format.  It is a good outline for summarizing the overall project in consice term.  Somehow I missed that 8D was on here.  I do recall running across it couple years back.

What I'm doing is puting an Exec Summary coversheet, then followed with short pertinent discussion of each of the D's.

Thanks.

Paul

I think your approach is good. I've used the Exec Summary to restate the Problem Statement and Objective Statement and compare initial key metrics to the resultant key metrics achieved as a result of the project. Concise, clear metric improvement demonstration....and the use of graphics.

Good luck.

Hi Paul

No problem - just send me your email and I'll forward on to you.

Best regards

John

John,

Thank you very much. My e-mail is:

Paul,

With all due respect, is this the biggest enterprise wide deployment, or the biggest boondoggle for the George Group.

The US military has a history of saying they are going to do the latest quality fad for the last 30+ years with very little results.

Clear strategy, linkage of projects to strategy, choice of the right change agents, are 10's on the FMEA where best format for final report is a 1 or less.

Ask about how to map the critical value streams, how to choose the right toolset for the problem, how to choose the right change agent, .... not something trivial like a format for a final report.

Just my opinion and experience with the DOD.

Stan,

You missed the point.  Asking for other's ideas in a final report is continuous learning and improvement. The AF has been making great stride for years in saving money.  Now the Army is tackling all their process, and it will take awhile (and I was there for Quality Circles, TQM etc.) but there is significant savings being found.  The fact that there is so much wasted time in many processes, functions, and operational areas (as low hanging fruit)  that those alone will be significant improvement.  Sharing ideas of a better format might be high on the scale if failure to convince hard heads that there is a better way to portray something or improve their process.  I only have 28 years and suggest providing positive corrective influence and advice to the DOD personnel you interact with would be beneficial.

Please provide  us some tips and how you would present a final report.

Paul Lacusky,

You made the comment:

"I think the university of Michigan report is ok for the college training arena but in the corporate world, what really works?"

Maybe someone could provide you with some "positive corrective influence and advice" if we understood your comment after all you aren't dealing with college students and you are not dealing with corporate America either.

Just my opinion.

Hi John,

Please send me the samples to my mail id: vshuraysyahoo.com
