Jim JohnsonParticipant@Jim-JohnsonInclude @Jim-Johnson in your post and this person will
be notified via email.The first and foremost thing you need to do is get a good first project selected and completed. If you have completed the training that you described you understand the DMAIC principles and are ready to try to apply them to your first project. The process of project selection should be done in concert with the deployment of Six Sigma at your organization and it should be completed in such a way that it aligns with the strategy of the organization.
There are some excellent texts on project selection. One that I recommend is reading is “The Six Simga Revoltuion: How General Electric and Others Turned Process into Profits” by George Eckes, ISBN is 0-471-38822-X.
I will share with you a series of questions that we use in project selection:
1. Is this process (or defect) a recurring event?
2. Is the proposed project scoped narrowly enough that it can be completed within a maximum of six months?
3. Are metric available that adequately gauge the proposed process’ performance or can they be developed and deployed quickly?
4. Does your organization have control over the process as scoped?We also seek to have each project impact customer satisfaction and return a minimum in dollars from either revenue enhancement or cost reduction.
I hope that this information helps. If I can be of any further service, please don’t hesitate to e-mail me.

CherukaraParticipant@DominicInclude @Dominic in your post and this person will
be notified via email.Interesting suggestion. How do we put those suggestions to practice ? I believe most companies are fire-fighting with ever changing priorities on a daily basis if not hourly.
On that score, I think the SS practitioners worldwide would greatly benefit from a program or softwarewe which helps companies to put your ideas in practice. Do you have any such ideas or a ready product ready?
Cheers!

Measure, study the impact of sig sigma project , carry out project only on area where improvement are visible and project viable?
take up selcted area, analyse root cause of problem ? and use tools to analyse and fish bone diagram will do … ABS anaysis …etc
identify root cause and to control and improve the process area , draw some floow chart , with controls ..like time , defect or cost rendering areas.
implement control chart for critical parameters, control and stabalize process. identify the Cp index ……along refenece table ..check the status ..of sigma level………continue improvement using lean manufacturing …if possible to get to six sigma level…..
0March 20, 2007 at 7:10 am #153614Hi, Currently am work as process engineer with a software company. Planning to shift my career in six sigma field. A process quality professional completes green belt training by clearing the test through a training center without the project. How is the opportunity to start career as six sigma professional with any of the company?

I am a software Test engineer, and looking for a green project which we could finish in a period of 1-1.5 months.
With this project we are just looking to test our abilities to take up a bigger Green belt project.
Could you please suggest me any projects with the criteria above to start with at a lower level.
Thanks,
Sunil S. G.
0May 29, 2007 at 7:07 pm #156714Hi,
I guess you know COPQ, one of the components of it will be refresher trainings, retrainings, feedbacks, audits.
By reducing defects you reduce time spent on all the above and time can be directly converted into money because in the BPO industry either the client is billed for it or the service provider.
Please revert if you need anything else
regards
Sirottam0May 29, 2007 at 7:13 pm #156715Hi,
As we all know, every project aims at a big Y, so drill down your big Y to smaller Y’s and so on so that you get to a Y which looks within your scope and start working on it.
What generally takes time in a project is the sign off on the charter, data collection if historical data is not available and improvement(pilot and 100% implementation).
Try for an area where the management will easily buy in the necessity of a project, where data is readily available in any form and which is within scope so change management does not involve much time.
If you feel this helps, you can write to me on [email protected]

I am also interested in doing six sigma project and I feel its better if u can find out any process which can be done in a better way than now to increase productivity.
Few eg : 1. To make sure you attend calls so that missed calls can be eliminated.
2.To increase productivity on Fridays.
3. To plan accordingly to reduce waste time

A few examples of projects which can be taken up in BPOs are:
1.Increasing the Accuracy rate.
2. Reducing the variation(span) in the performance of associates.
3. Defining a clear path for SME certification etc..

Ashwin0October 24, 2007 at 6:37 am #163705Thanks Ashwin for ur suggestions…
But can you throw some light on ‘Accuracy Rate’ – in what regards, in which field n how?
Thanks in anticipation.0October 24, 2007 at 2:39 pm #163720
KarimkondaParticipant@AshwinInclude @Ashwin in your post and this person will
be notified via email.Hi,
What I mean by accuracy rate is that….In any process errors are critical. If we can control the number of errors then we can reduce the error rate and inturn improve the accuracy rate. We can identify and improve the main causes of errors by following the DMAIC methodolgy.
Regards
Ashwin0November 1, 2007 at 4:56 pm #164244Hey Ashwin,
You have cited good options from a Praoject perpective.
We have already done projects in these areas but they dont seem to be big enough for a GB project. The best that we have been certified are for SSB/SSA(Six Sigma Basic/Six Sigma Automation) projects which is a stepping stone for a GB. Not sure what else can be taken up as a GB as I feel my process is totally juiced out. Can you suggest something else.
Regards…

I hope they did not spend money to certify you just to have you come back and help them figure out for them if there are any projects to do. Is there a black belt on staff? Who trained you, in house or outsource? Lots of stuff to look forwrad to but you need a mentor. I could possibly guide you, I need more info. [email protected]

Re: Green Belt Help by abhi on Friday, 28th March 2008 LAST I CHECKED IT WAS MARCH 2008. NO? I am not looking to butt heads with you and I am not a part of your daily mix, so don’t shoot me, please. Dear Stevo, I only am responding to current articles today, I do like to help and I am not involved in some of the meaningless harm that I noticed seems to be dominating the forum, if you know what I mean. So try judging from the stand where the real crimnal is on trial. Not meaning to be rude but your attack is not worthy and time with this stuff would probably be better exerting energy into help. Your welcome.0March 28, 2008 at 7:12 pm #170265O.K it appears I hit somenoes hot button. Yah, and Never did I say I had a fee or was providing a service.
