| Six Sigma Process Improvement Six Sigma is a project based method of identifying problems within a business. The process focuses on eliminating defects and errors within a process, Six Sigma can save time, money and enhance customer satisfaction. It embraces the improvement of existing products and processes, and can assist in the development of new products and processes. Think Technical Solutions have worked with many public and private sector organisations including Highways Agency, Carillion Plc, Transport for London (London Underground), Scott Wilson Consultancy, A-One Highway Services and Edmund Nuttall Ltd to roll out process improvements leading to efficiency savings of over £200m. The DMAICT Methodology Six Sigma Projects generally have six phases: · Define - What is the problem, what are the goals of the project? · Measure - Tracking the key elements of the process and collecting data associated with it. · Analyse - Assessing the information collected to identify areas of improvement. · Improve - Designing and rolling out improvements · Control - Measuring the savings made and ensuring improvements work going forward. · Transfer - A little extra many companies do not offer. Can the improvements be rolled out to the rest of the business? The DMAICT Methodology
