    6 Sigma Project Selection Guidelines

    General Guidelines for Project Selection Any project should have identifiable process inputs and outputs. A good six sigma project should never have a pre-determined solution. If you already know the answer, then just go fix it! For projects that have operator or operator training as an input, focus on ways to reduce operator variation, thereby making your process more robust to different or untrained operators. All projects need to be approached from the perspective of understanding the variation in process inputs, controlling them, and eliminating the defects.

    Project Selection Guidelines

    General Guidelines for Project Selection


    Any project should have identifiable process inputs and outputs. A good six sigma project should never have a predetermined solution. If you already know the answer, then just go fix it! For projects that have operator or operator training as an input, focus on ways to reduce operator variation, thereby making your process more robust to different or untrained operators. All projects need to be approached from the perspective of understanding the variation in process inputs, controlling them, and eliminating the defects.

    Typical Six Sigma Projects


    Project Selection Ideas By Function Finance/Accounting Six Sigma Project Ideas

    Typical Six Sigma Projects


    Efficiency/Capacity Issues
    Processes producing less than expected Processes requiring overtime not requested by a customer Processes requiring cycle times in excess of expectations Processes with computer/machine downtime Processes requiring expedited shipping and associated costs due to delayed output production Any process that has added labor to make the required cycle Reduce expenses at...
