Which of The Following Is An Effect of Six Sigma Implementation?
Autonome, polyvalente et créative j’aimerais apporter mes qualités relationnelles et ma rigueur à votre
profit.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
