Darth,
I’m not sure what you are complaining about – it looks just like you.

Schuette replied to the topic LSS For service in government in the forum General 12 years, 3 months ago
I work in manufacturing and we are actually constantly reducing costs in all departments; however we do not waste our time thinking about who is no longer needed if we shorten our cycle times and the ovarall amount of work. Instead we concentrate on what additional value-added work we can now do that we didn’t have the available resources to…[Read more]

Tina – United Health has a six Sigma program, so why don’t you start there? UH is a large company, so I bet they have a mentor program – if your boss isn’t any help, how about a mentor. Also standard in large companies is a “Women at UH….” group. Sine you are a woman, have you reached out to your women in business group at work?
Since you sa…[Read more] -

Schuette replied to the topic DPMO in the forum General 12 years, 8 months ago
Thanks for your feedback. To make sure I am clear about our products, I will expand on the description more.
For example, one product line may make only 10 units. Some product lines make up to 70 units per shift. However, each product or unit contains many parts (up to 100 parts per unit, some units take more parts – these are ref…[Read more] -
Schuette replied to the topic Cost of Length of Stay in the forum Healthcare 12 years, 8 months ago
This is helpful, thanks. Are there other measures (with benchmarks) you would recommend for calculating the cost benefit of improving flow through an ED? I imagine I may be able to put some conservative estimates around the portion of patients who leave without being seen and the amount of overtime required to staff these situations, but I w…[Read more]

Roland:
Your 8 1/2 by 11 form sounds very interesting and usable. Would you please e-mail a copy? Our company is really hurting and our original Idea Box concept is an abysmal failure. I’m trying to pump some life in it before it is too late. Thanks. -
Schuette replied to the topic standard deviation vs. sigma measurement in the forum General 13 years, 2 months ago
Neil,
Of course you are correct about data under the curve. I meant to and should have said data within specifications.
You are also correct when you say this is a one sided measurement.
However, a 6 sixma defect rate is 6 sixma either side of the mean. That is the only way a 3.4 dpm falure rate (after the bogus 1.5 sigma shift) can be o…[Read more] -
Schuette replied to the topic standard deviation vs. sigma measurement in the forum General 13 years, 2 months ago
CT,
By todays thinking your are correct, Six Sigma refers to the method rather than a numeric goal. The idea today is to improve the product/process until it is no longer cost effective to make further improvements. The goal is the bottom line.
However, originally the six sigma goal was to obtain a failure rate <= 6 sigma around a mean and w…[Read more] -

Neil,
Six sigma is 6 standard deviations either side of the mean.
99.9999998% of your data is under the curve.

Hi Obiwan,

Schuette replied to the topic Just Do It Program Ideas in the forum General 13 years, 7 months ago
The idea of passing all suggestions thru a panel or lead person is good. That’s what my company does. All suggestions no matter how small or trivial or how large and complex are turned into a suggestion program.
There it is evaluated as to whether it is accepted as legitimate, and what category it fits into 6-Sigma, Lean, or Just Do-It (J…[Read more] -

Schuette replied to the topic two measurement systems in the forum General 14 years, 1 month ago
Measurement Systems Analysis. Try to eliminate or minimize operator influence in the measurement result. Run the same units across both measurement units (I used 5 units run 3 times each across two stations; I feel this is a minimum requirement, 10 units is preferred). Use the two measurement systems as separate operator inputs. Analyze the data’s…[Read more]
