Hi Matt,
Is it possible to send Visual basic program for calculating Cpk using Excel.
thanks

Thanks Vivek,
Your reply says it all.

Thanks a TON Andy,
Its done now, did much of research and work on Net and came to lot of information. Thanks again.

Thanks Anand,
Would wait for your reply.

Thanks Anand for this reply and information. One more thing, there is some clause which is not applicable to the service industry (BPO), as I am not able to confirm the same from anywhere, please let me know that. I am not able to find the same from Internet as somewhere it talks about the clause 7 in which i.e.design and development of the…[Read more]

Hi
I am working at BPO TRANSPORTransport insustry here time is everything for us i have so many ideas but i would like to go through the six sigma  

 am in problem regarding FMEA, please any body help me ?

yeah..i got the jist..
well but are reluctant to change..
there are certain set who dont want to get adopted to it…even after knowing its effectiveness….
so i am trying hard on it….
after convincing the pool about its gud effects…what should be the first step…..which model to be followed..and what is the approximate time it should…[Read more]

Well, i am very new to this field,actually just got into the industry after doing post graduation… though i have studied about six sigma theoretically…its not looking easy right now..
can i get some suggestions to implement this process in IT organization which is not very big..
its a growing organization where people are very eager to learn.Vinay

Hi,
Please send copy of 8 D form.
thanks you very much.

Thanks for your e-mail. I have studied statistics at college level but never heard about Sig-Ma. I very much agree with everything you explained in your response but I am still confused about Sig-Ma. I tried to search on the internet using word “Sig-Ma” but I could not find anything.

Completed several hundred small and large six sigma projects in electronics manufacturing environment. ASQ SSBB Certified.

There are several benefits:
(a) Employees can have longer breaks, (b) In case there is an increase in demand or rework, and company does not need to pay overtime, (c) If an employee is on vacation or need some time off, other 4 employees can produce more to compensate for the missing employee.
 
    

No. You are looking at this the wrong way. One’s aim should be to reduce sigma (standard deviation) to minimize probability of any reading falling outside the Upper and Lower specification limits. Larger the standard deviation (sigma) more changes of process data falling outside the specification limits.
  
 
 

Cpk is inversely proporational to Sigma. As sigma (standard deviation ) decreases, Cpk value increases.
Cpk = Smaller of (USL-Mean), (Mean – LSL) / 3 sigma (standard deviation)

“I don’t believe you need to be certified to use 6-Sigma.” – I agree with you. 
“My company has sent a few people to be trained and certified by high cost consultants only to leave shortly there after”. – so what is wrong with that? It means they have more marketability after certifications. 
“We switched and began to hire BBs that were al…[Read more]

I agree with you that posts like “what does Six Sigma mean?” and “is there anybody in my city that trains Six Sigma?” are not some of the very smart questions but keep in mind…no question is a stupid question. If you take this kind of approach, you cannot run a six sigma project. People from other functional areas are going ask stupid questions…[Read more]

Japanese companies do not use buzz words they make good things as a part of their day today life. I used to work for Panasonic in India before coming to the US. We used to collect data and analyze on daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis but never used to call it SPC. When I came to the US, one of key requirement to get a job was to know SPC.…[Read more]

I am sorry to hear your bad experiences. However, I have worked for many companies and I was able to make my place in a very short. Whatever I am today is becuase of six sigma. This is one of the finest and most productive program I have seen in my life time. 
  

First of all if you have successfully implemented ISO program that means you have a consistent and repeatable process. Let me recommend you to start backwards. What are your top 3 CTQ problems after they left your facility? Trace it back to prevent any reoccurence and take the human factor out and make the process Poke-Yoka.
It seems you are in…[Read more]
