The key takeaways are about the Six Sigma methodology which aims to reduce defects and improve processes through statistical analysis and the DMAIC and DMADV approaches used for process improvement.

The key steps are Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC). In Define the problem is identified, Measure establishes metrics, Analyze identifies root causes, Improve eliminates defects and Control maintains improvements.

DMAIC is used to improve existing processes or products while DMADV is used when the existing process does not meet requirements even after optimization and involves designing new processes or products.

Six sigma test


Which of the following is an effect of Six Sigma implementation?
1. Delays in shipment of products
2. Decrease in cost and quality
3. Reduction in production of defective products
4. Decreased customer retention
3 is the correct answer

Justification : ‘Six-Sigma’ helps an organization to cut down on its costs without compromising on the
quality as it helps in reducing defects in products and services and optimizing the efficiency of
resources.

Which of the following assertions is true with regard to the Six-sigma approach?
1. It is a factual-data based methodology.
2. It is only used to bring about improvements in manufacturing processes.
3. It aims at bringing down defects to 13.4 per million opportunities.
4. Its main objective is to make the organization as lean as possible.
1 is the correct answer

Justification : Six Sigma is a data driven, customer focused and result oriented methodology which
uses statistical tools and techniques to systematically eliminate the defects and inefficiencies to
improve processes.

In which phase of the Six Sigma, the sources of variation are identified?
1. Define
2. Measure
3. Analyze
4. Control

Justification
D – DEFINE the problem
M – MEASURE the outcome (Y) to determine the current process performance (baseline) and
validate the measurement system
A – ANALYZE, identify X’s (root causes of the defects, sources of variation)
I – IMPROVE the process by eliminating the defects
C – Control X’s
Correct Answer !
3 is the correct answer

................creates the Six Sigma vision for an organization.


1. Champion
2. Master Black Belt
3. Executive Leadership
4. Black Belt

Justification
Executive Leadership includes project sponsors and process owners. They create the Six Sigma
vision for an organization.
Correct Answer !
1 is the correct answer

Who is responsible to ensure that Six Sigma is properly implemented in all the business
activities of an organization?
1. Champion
2. Executive Leadership
3. Master Black Belt
4. Black Belt

Justification
Champions are selected by Executive Leadership or Senior Champions. They organize and direct
the initiation, deployment and implementation of Six Sigma throughout the organization. They ensure
that Six Sigma is properly implemented in all the business activities of an organization.
Correct Answer !
3 is the correct answer

Find out the tool which is not used in the Analyze phase.
1. Hypothesis testing
2. FMEA
3. Solution design matrix
4. Data analysis
Justification
Solution design matrix is a tool which is used in the Improve phase. The other tools are used in the
Analyze phase.
Correct Answer !
2 is the correct answer

Specification limits are defined by …………..


1. Process data
2. The customer
3. The Master Black Belt
4. The supplier

Justification
Specification limits are defined by the customer.
Correct Answer !
3 is the correct answer

Process 'A' is identified to have 4000 defects per million opportunities. In this context, what is
the sigma level of process 'A'?
1. 1
2. 2
3. 5
4. 4

Justification
If only 3 sigma can be fitted within the specification limits from the target, the process is at ‘Three
Sigma’.
Correct Answer !
2 is the correct answer

Project CTQ (Y) Defect Definition


Daily water Any day water
consumption consumption > 15.6 unit

What is the USL?


1. 15.7
2. 15.6
3. 15.5
4. None of the above

Justification
Any deviation beyond the upper specification limit (USL) is a defect. Hence USL = 15.6
Wrong Answer !
2 is incorrect, 3 is the correct answer

Suppose you have the following information:


Target = 23, specification limits = ± 3
Average = 23, standard deviation = 0.6
The process is a …………. sigma process.
1. 3
2. 4
3. 5
4. 6

Justification
As 0.6 X 5 = 3, five standard deviations of performance from the average can be fitted within the
specification limits. Hence the process is a five sigma process.
Correct Answer !
1 is the correct answer

Identify the basic difference between DMAIC and DMADV.


1. DMADV – Design of new products or improvement in existing products; DMAIC – Improvement in
an existing process
2. DMADV – Improvement in an existing process
3. DMAIC – Design of new products or improvement in existing products; DMADV and DMAIC both
are same
4. None of the above

Justification
DMADV is used when the existing product or process does not meet the level of customer
specification or Six Sigma level even after optimization with or without using DMAIC.
The DMAIC process should be used when an existing product or process can be improved to meet
or exceed the customer’s requirements.
