Activity-based costing is typically a five-step process that to some extent parallels the Six Sigma roadmap. Step 1 – Analyze activities (create a process map) Step 2 – Gather costs (managerial accounting) Step 3 – Trace costs to activities. Step 4 – Establish output measures. Step 5 – Analyze costs.
The total score will fall into one of three possible categories: Less than 2.0 – The project is not a viable DMAIC project; it may be better to use another approach. 2.0 – 3.0 – This is a possible DMAIC project; it will require further validation. Greater than 3.0 – This is a viable DMAIC project. Some questions to which the answer is a ...
The difference between capability rates (Cp and Cpk) and performance rates (Pp and Ppk) is the method of estimating the statistical population standard deviation. The difference between the centralized rates (Cp and Pp) and unilateral rates (Cpk and Ppk) is the impact of the mean decentralization over process performance estimates.
Of this, $11.2M were from operations cost reduction and efficiency gains (net present value [NPV] method used) and $17.6M were from revenue increase models, attributed to one project (Living Kidney Donor Transplant Improvement) with standard revenue recognition models used for this measure.

The overall defect rate, therefore, is 3.4 PPM. A similar argument applies to the extreme case of a 1.5-sigma shift to the left. A Six Sigma process is 4.5 sigma in the long term, and the 3.4 PPM defect rate is the 1-sided probability of having a data value beyond 4.5 sigma from the short-term mean.
In addition, organizations may just need to determine customer or associate satisfaction levels. Satisfaction levels have a direct impact on corporate image, which is even more important in the current economic times. Step 2: Determine the Sample. Identifying the target population for the survey will help reduce stray answers and bias.
The traditional view of hard savings is pretty standard. According to Karen Lay-Brew, CIO and vice president of knowledge services of BHP Billiton, regularly listed examples of hard savings are: reduction in unit cost of operation (e.g. cost of sale) and unit cost of production; reduction in transaction cost; lower overhead costs; lower head count; and increased throughput, resulting in ...
Goal: The primary goal was to decrease the resident task delinquency rate from 38 percent to 23 percent by September 30, 2018. Business Case: Risk reduction is the primary business case in that by increasing the on-time completion rate of residency tasks, we are effectively reducing the risk of residents being dismissed from the program.
Four phases are involved in a normal benchmarking process – planning, analysis, integration and action. And in the four phases are 10 practical steps that can help any Lean Six Sigma practitioner involved in a benchmarking a process. 1. Planning Phase. Being the initial phase, this is a most important phase.
IBM placed an order for 2million components and specified a defect rate of 3 failed components per million. The supplier was perplexed and assumed it was their difficulty with the English language. They shipped the 2 million components and put the 6 defects requested in a separate pack with a ‘Perplexed Note’ to say here are the 6 defective ...
