An Example
Six Sigma Project: Engineering Changes
Define: Large number of changes from client after
approving engineering design.
Measure: Number of changes, time involved in changes,
compliance to critical path schedule.
Analyze: No clear authority on client team to establish
scope, any of client team could make changes,
verbal communication of changes, conflicting
changes by client team members.

Understanding the DFSS (Design For Six Sigma)
It is not a quick fix nor a recipe
Consultants cant make it happen. Training especially
management level
Takes careful preparation and a commitment to the
foundational change efforts required
Statistical analysis is not generally part of the engineering
discipline in most IT shops
Implementation tends to be uneven and lapses occur
frequently

Key indicators
Measurement that monitors the status of the key objective
a. Attribute indicators
Monitored by the attribute data such as count over time,
ex: customer complaints over week, percentage of defects etc
b. Measurement indicators
Need to actually measure the data, ex: cycle time to file a report,
waiting time in a bank, diameter of the ball bearing, etc..
c. Binary indicators
Action being accomplished on the said date. Etc.. Yes/ No type of
situations
d. List by time period indicators
List of employees not trained in safety standards etc..
e. Gantt chart indicators: deadlines

VoC analysis
a. Reactive data analysis
b. Proactive data analysis
Procative data analysis (KANO model)
Step 1: Collect the voice of customer data
a. Identify the heavy and lead users.
Heavy users: Actual users of the product
Lead users: are the customers/users of the product years
ahead of the regular users.
Example: washing machine/ hair dryer/ hairdryer
used as portable body warmer.

Affinity Diagram
Tool that gathers large amount of data and organizes
them into groupings based on the natural relationships
Steps:
Step 1: Generate Ideas (brain storming)
Step 2: Display the Ideas
Step 3: Sort ideas into groups
Step 4: Create header cards
Step 5: Draw finished diagram
Step 3:
Development of cognitive image of the product:
a. Team members restate each focus point into one or more
operationally definable CTQs.
b. The engineers/ developers use the technical know how or
restate the focus point into one or more operationally definable CTQs
c. Experts restudy the use of product and restate focus point if required.
Carry out Kano Analysis for the desired point
CTQs (recap)
Measurable characteristics that must be met in order
to satisfy the customer.
Defined by the customer (Internal or External).
Interpreted from a qualitative customer statement to
an actionable, quantitative business specification.
CTQs are what the customer expects of a product...
the spoken needs of the customer.

Devise questionnaire
Aims to understand how potential customers would feel if a
feature was either present or not present.
Achieved by asking two questions for each feature
A functional question (ie - the feature is present) and
A dys-functional question (ie the feature is not present),
If you have a blue tooth facilty in a mobile phone, how would you feel?
1. Like it
2. Must be
3. Neutral
4. Live with
5. Dislike
If you do not have a blue tooth facilty in a mobile phone, how would you feel?
1. Like it
2. Must be
3. Neutral
4. Live with
5. Dislike
Identify classification
Based upon the responses, the type of feature can be
determined from a simple look-up table,
Customers
Requirements
Indifferent responses:
These are attributes to which the customer pays
no attention "If they are present, it is nice.
If they are not present, it does not matter"
Questionable responses and reversals:
Responses which contradict each other
Sum responses*
As with any interview method, sufficient responses must be sought.
