•
Define the performance standards for Y, and its baseline (current state)
performance
•
Clarify understanding of specification limits as well as defect and
opportunity definitions
•
Validate the measurement system (MSA)
•
Collect the data as needed
•
Characterize the data using basic tools and capability
•
Begin funneling the X’s that affect the Y
•
Measure…what is the current state/performance level and potential causes
3
Why spend so much time
in the Measure phase?
“When you can measure what you are
speaking about, and express it in numbers,
you know something about it; but when you
cannot measure it, when you cannot express
it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager
and unsatisfactory kind…”
Lord Kelvin
“If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.”
Peter Drucker
4
Why Do We Measure?
• To thoroughly understand the current state of our
process and collect reliable data on process
inputs that you will use to expose the underlying
causes of problems
• To know “where you are” – the extent of the
problem
• To understand and quantify the critical inputs (xs)
that we believe (theories) are contributing to our
problem (Ys)
5

The Basic Philosophy of Lean Six Sigma
•
•
•
•
All processes have variation and waste
All variation and waste has causes
Typically only a few causes are significant
To the degree that those causes can be understood
they can be controlled
• Designs must be robust to the effects of the remaining
process variation
• This is true for products, processes, information
transfer, transactions, everything
• Uncontrolled variation and waste is the enemy
9
Remember - What is Six Sigma…
•A high performance measure of excellence
•A metric for quality
•A business philosophy to improve customer satisfaction
•Focuses on processes and customers
•Delivers results that matter for all key stakeholders
•A tool for eliminating process variation
•Structured methodology to reduce defects
•Enables cultural change, it is transformational
10
Why Process Thinking?
Allows criticism without blaming people
Allows shared understanding of how things work
Helps manage complexity
Provides focus within context
Helps to manage scope of project
Identification of team members
Understand inputs / outputs - leads to measurement

Lean Six Sigma
Project and Team Basic Tools
Process Flow Chart (pg. 33-44)
A visual display of the key steps and flow of a
process, also called a process map. Usually standard
symbols are used to construct process flow charts.
These include boxes (or rectangles) for specific steps,
diamonds for decision points, ovals for defined starting
and stopping points, and arrows to indicate flow.
Processes can include providing a service, making or
delivering products, information sharing, design, etc. –
Should represent the current as-is state of the process!
15
Process Mapping (pg. 33-44)
• A process is a sequence of steps or
activities using inputs to produce an output
(accomplish a given task).
• A process map is a visual tool that
documents and illustrates a process.
• Several styles and varying levels of detail
are used in Process Mapping. Most
common and useful styles are SIPOC,
Flow Diagrams, Box Step, and Value
Stream Maps.
16
Process Mapping
• The team should start with the observed,
current, as-is process.
• Start high-level, and work to the level of
detail necessary for your project (key
inputs).
• As inconsistencies are discovered, the
team can develop a future state or shouldbe process map to improve the key xs and
the overall output (Y) of the process.

How Low Can Should You Go?
• Decompose the process until it becomes
unnecessary to go any farther
– Accountability is identified
– Responsibility falls outside the process boundaries
– Root cause becomes evident
– The time required to measure the process exceeds
the time required to perform it

Process Mapping Analysis
Detailed Analysis of Process Delays or Errors:
Identifying process delays or potential errors is
an important analyze phase activity. Going
into greater detail in identifying the type and
source of delay or error will help to more
clearly define the root cause and thereby
produce a more robust solution and overall
improvement.

Gaps
Redundancies
Implicit or unclear requirements
Bottlenecks
Hand-offs
Conflicting objectives
Common problem areas
Process Mapping Analysis
Gaps
– Responsibilities for certain process steps are
unclear, not understood, easy to “skip”
– Process seems “unfocused,” goes off track in
delivering what the customer needs
– Excessive variation
32
Process Mapping Analysis
Redundancies
– Actions or steps are duplicated
– Different groups repeat actions that are done
somewhere else, and they are not aware of the
repeat actions occurring
– Excessive checking (non-value adding)
33
Process Mapping Analysis
Implicit or unclear requirements
– “Word of mouth” instructions, not formally
documented; assumptions
– Operational definitions are not noted; different
groups interpret definitions and instructions
differently
– Unclear measurement system
34
Process Mapping Analysis
Bottlenecks
– A “slow down” of work flow
– Multiple inputs may feed into a process step,
which is then delayed
– Output of entire process may be “controlled”
by the output rate of the bottleneck step(s)
35
Process Mapping Analysis
Hand-offs
– Unclear if a process step has received needed
inputs from an “upstream” step
– Misunderstanding of who is responsible, or
who has done what
– Communication problems
36
Process Mapping Analysis
Conflicting objectives
– Unclear alignment from one group to another
working in the same process
– Direction from leadership and metrics
– Communication problems
37
Process Mapping Analysis
Common problem areas
– Overall weaknesses seen throughout a process,
common failure modes
– Repeated steps or checks in a variety of places
throughout the process flow
– Communication problems
– The “Hidden Factory”
38
The Hidden Factory
All of the work that is performed that is above and
beyond what is required to deliver good products
and services to the customer; work that is not
necessarily tracked (cost, productivity, etc.).
Work-arounds or “built-in” Rework
39
Process Mapping, Measurement and
Analysis
Study your key processes and note any of the
aforementioned potential process delays or
errors directly on your process map. Go to
the source to verify with data. Many key xs
are identified through careful and deliberate
process measurement and analysis.

Measure Phase:
Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
Can the variation in the parts (output) be detected over and
above the variation caused by the measurement system?
43
Baseline Data Questions
• What is the current process capability? (Where
are we now in terms of consistently meeting the
customer’s needs?)
• Is the process stable?
• How much improvement do you need to meet
your goal, to make a meaningful impact?
• What data are currently available?
• How will you know whether there has been an
improvement?
• How does the current state compare to the CTQs?
44
Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
(pgs. 87 – 103)
Is it the right data to answer
the question at hand?
or
Is it the best question
the existing data can answer?
45
Look Carefully
46
Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
(pg. 87 – 103)
A measurement system analysis is performed to
determine if the measurement system can
generate true reliable data, and to assure the
variation observed is due to the actual
performance of the process being studied, and not
due to excessive variation in the measurement
system itself.
47
Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
“In any program of control we must start with observed
data; yet data may be either good, bad, or indifferent.
Of what value is theory of control if the observed data
going into that theory are bad? This is the question
raised again and again by the practical man (woman).”
- Walter Shewhart
48
Reliable Data ?
49
Separate what we
think is happening
from what is really
happening!
50
Data Integrity?
• What assumptions were made?
• Is the data representative of the process ?
• Who generated the data?
• How was it measured?
• What is the noise in the measurement?
• If required, does it pass an audit?
• Can we trust the data and the measurement
system used to generate the data to properly
investigate the process?
51
Inspection
Exercise: You have 60 seconds to document the number
of times the 6th letter of the alphabet
appears in the following text:
The Necessity of Training Farm Hands for First Class
Farms in the Fatherly Handling of Farm Live Stock is
Foremost in the Eyes of Farm Owners. Since the
Forefathers of the Farm Owners Trained the Farm
Hands for First Class Farms in the Fatherly Handling
of Farm Live Stock, the Farm Owners Feel they
should carry on with the Family Tradition of Training
Farm Hands of First Class Farmers in the Fatherly
Handling of Farm Live Stock Because they Believe it
is the Basis of Good Fundamental Farm
Management.

6 Items To Look For In A Good
Measurement System
Resolution
Consistency
Repeatability
Reproducibility
Linearity
Accuracy
53
Resolution
• Is the measuring base unit small enough to adequately
evaluate the variation in the process?
• Can we “see” differences in what the process is producing?
• Must monitor the process frequently enough to catch it varying,
or going from good to bad.
• As a general rule, we should use units of measure that are at
least 10 subdivisions of the range of measurement being
investigated. “Ten bucket rule”
Examples of issues
with resolution in
your projects?
54
Consistency (Stability) Issue
• Does the measurement system error
remain stable or predictable over time,
across equipment, across operators,
across all shifts, across all facilities, etc…?
• Will we get reliable measurements from the
process even if the measurements are
taken on the weekends, during night shifts,
by different employees, etc.?
55
Measurement
Systems
Would it be OK if the time clock your
employees get paid by is off by:
1 hour every day?
1 hour a week?
1 hour per month?
1 hour per year?
Measurement Systems must be
Repeatable & Reproducible if we
are to draw adequate conclusions
56
Repeatability / Precision
• The variation in measurements obtained when
one operator uses the same measuring process
for measuring the identical characteristic of the
same parts or items ( part dimension, blood
pressure cuff, chemistry analyzer, etc.).
• Can the variation in the parts be detected over
and above the variation caused by the
measurement system?
• How closely will successive measurements of the
same part or process by the same person using
the same instrument repeat themselves?
57
Reproducibility
• The variation in the average of measurements
made by different operators using the same
measuring process when measuring identical
characteristics of the same items (two abstractors
reviewing same chart).
• Reproducibility is very similar to repeatability.
The primary difference is that instead of looking
at the consistency of one person, we are looking
at the consistency between people.
• Are the average measurements for each part
reproducible across different operators, gages,
machines, locations, etc…?
58
Linearity
• Is the measurement system consistent across
the entire range of the measurement scale?
• Are measurements reliable even at the
extremes?
59
Accuracy
• Are the measurements truly
representative of the output of the
process being studied?
• On average, do I get the “true data”
from the output of the process?

62
Key Questions for a MSA?
(Your Project’s Measurement System)
• Is my measurement system repeatable will I get the same results if I take the
measurement more than once?
• Is my measurement system reproducible will someone else be able to complete the
same measurement and get the same
results?
• Is my measurement system accurate - will
the results from my study match the actual
value, or expert data?
63
MSA Recap
ADEQUATE
Most of the variation is
accounted for by physical or
actual differences in the process
or components.
- All sources of measurement
variation will be small
- You can have higher
confidence that actions you
take in response to the data
are based on reality
INADEQUATE
Variation in how the
measurements are taken is
high.
- You can’t tell if differences
between units or process
observations are due to the way
they were measured, or are true
differences
- You can’t trust your data and
therefore shouldn’t react to
perceived patterns, special
causes, etc.—they may be false
signals
64
Why do we conduct MSA?
(Your Project’s Measurement System)
• While many statistical tools may be very powerful,
they can also provide misleading results if there is too
much measurement error.
• We conduct MSA to gain an understanding of the
quality, or trustworthiness, of data being collected to
drive decisions about improving your process(es).
• Some part of the total observed variation inherent to a
process is, in fact, caused by the measurement
system itself. – How much variation can we tolerate?
• A good measurement system is vital for your baseline
data as well as your investigations of possible Xs.
65
Measure Phase:
Calculating Sigma Levels
and
Baseline Data and Metrics
66
Why are Baseline Measures
so Important?
“If we could first learn where we are and
where we are going, we would be better
able to judge what to do and how to do it.”
Abraham Lincoln
67
Calculating the Approximate Sigma Level
1. Define your opportunities
2. Define your defects
3. Measure your opportunities and
defects
4. Calculate your yield
5. Look up process Sigma
68
Calculating the Approximate Sigma Level
Define your opportunities and defects
• An opportunity is any area within a product, process, service, or
other system where a defect could be produced or where you fail
to achieve the ideal product or service in the eyes of the customer
.
• A defect is any type of undesired result. The defect threshold
may be as superficial as whether or not the product works. But it
may be more subtle.
– This may be the difference between “Does the car run?” and
“Does the car have a flawless paintjob, the tires I want, the
brand of CD changer I want, etc, etc…”
– It’s usually not enough just to ask whether the product “meets
expectations”… the expectations need to be defined.
69
Calculating the Approximate Sigma Level
Measure your opportunities and defects and
calculate your yield – the percent without defects.

Working individually
1. Define an opportunity in your process. What’s a
ballpark estimate of the number of opportunities in
your process?
2. Define the defects in your process. What’s a
ballpark estimate of the number of defects in
your process?
3. Calculate your process yield

72
Balancing Measures
• Balancing measures are often identified to prevent
important process, input, or output factors from being
sacrificed at the expense of achieving a narrow goal.
• Prevent “tunnel-vision”
• Be alert for unintended consequences
• “Need to know” versus “nice to know”
• Balancing measures are those things we don’t want
to lose sight of as we drive toward meeting our goal.
73
Introductory Statapult Activity!
•
Working in teams,
–
–
–
–
–
–
Try to hit a target distance (specification) with a projectile of
your choice and your assigned statapult
Collect the distance for each shot by team member in
sequential order (6 total shots for each team member)
In addition to the actual distance shot, also record if the shot
is “in spec”, or “out of spec”
Collect and record the total time it takes each team member
to complete their respective 6 shots
List potential xs that explain variation in the distance the
projectile travels (Y) (If you have any variation?)
List any waste that occurred in your statapult process
How well did your team perform? What is your team’s sigma level?
Are you individually a good statapultician?
74
Baseline Data Questions
• What is the current process capability?
• Is the process stable?
• How much improvement do you need to meet
your goal?
• What data are currently available? How many
samples do I need to collect (pg. 85-86)
• How will you know whether there has been an
improvement?
• How does the current state compare to the CTQs?
75
Types of Data
Two major types of data (pg 70)
– Continuous (or “variable”)
• Measurement along a continuum, length, height, age,
time, dollars, etc.
– Discrete (or “attribute”)
• Categories, yes/no, names, labels, counts, etc.
76
Types of Data
Continuous
– Any variable that can be measured on a continuum or
scale that can be infinitely divided
– There are more powerful statistical tools for interpreting
data continuous data, so it is generally preferred over
discrete/attribute data
– Examples: height, weight, age, respiration rate, etc.
77
Types of Data
Discrete
Data Type

Example
Count
How many?
Count of errors;
How many patients got evidencebased care?
How many specimens were tested?
Binary
Data that can have only one of Was delivery on-time? Was the
two values
product defect-free? Alive/dead;
Male/female; Yes/No
Nominal
The data are names or labels
with no intrinsic order or
relative quantitative value
Colors; dog breeds; diagnoses;
brands of products; nursing units;
facility
Ordinal
The names or labels represent
some value inherent in the
object or item (there is an
obvious order to the items)
Product performance: excellent,
very good, good, fair, poor;
Severity: mild, moderate, severe,
critical
78
Types of Data
Example:
Type of data:
• Product meets design
specifications
• Discrete – Binary
• Heart rate
• Continuous
• Distribution managers
• Discrete – Nominal
• Gasoline grades
(regular, plus,
premium)
• Discrete - Ordinal
79
Baseline Capability
• A baseline capability study basically
answers how well the current “as is”
process meets the needs (specifications)
of the customer. It can be tracked over
time via run chart, control chart, etc.
• Process Capability compares the output of
a process to the needs of the customer for
a given key measure.

Process Capability:
Short Term and Long Term
• Processes experience more variation over a longer
term than in the short term.
• Capability can vary depending on whether you are
collecting data over a short term or a long term.
• The equations and basic concepts for calculating
capability are identical for short term and long term
except for how standard deviation is calculated to
account for the increased variation over the long
term.

Process Capability:
Short Term and Long Term
• Short Term (Cp and Cpk calculations)
– Gathered over a limited number of cycles or intervals
– Gathered over a limited number of shifts & associates
• Long Term (Pp and Ppk calculations)
– Gathered over many cycles, intervals, equipment, &
operators
– May be attribute or variable
– Assumes the data has “seen” at least 80% of the
total variation the process will experience
87
Process Capability:
Short Term and Long Term
(pgs. 135 – 140)
• Cp (short term) and Pp (long term)
calculations compare the amount of
variation in the process output to the total
range of variation allowed (customer
specifications)

Improving how we Improve!
(Through Data Analysis and Minitab)
Minitab is a tool consisting of many tools and
techniques for thorough data analysis.
1. Do not think of Minitab as “giving you the answer.”
2. If you do not have reliable data, and/or you are not
asking the proper analysis questions, Minitab will
be of little value – if any!
96
Improve: Data-Driven Approach
Is there a difference between
Data and Information?
Data – factual information used as a basis
for reasoning
Information – the communication or
reception of knowledge obtained from
investigation, study, or instruction

Pareto Charting and Analysis
(The 80/20 Rule)
109
Pareto chart
• A Pareto chart is a special type of bar graph where
the categories are arranged from largest to smallest
with a line indicating the cumulative percent
Vilfredo Pareto observed that 80% of the
land in Italy was owned by 20% of the
population.
Later, Joseph Juran called this “80-20 rule”
the Pareto principle.
80% of the effects come from 20% of the
causes.
110
Lean Six Sigma
Project and Team Basic Tools
Pareto Analysis (pg. 142-144)
A Pareto chart is simply a bar graph with the bars
arranged typically in descending order from highest to
lowest frequency by discrete category. It graphically
displays the 80/20 rule. Approximately 80% of the
quantifiable results (frequency), will be attributed to
20% of the causal categories.

Cause and Effect Diagrams (pg. 146-149)
A C&E diagram (also called a fishbone diagram), is
a pictorial display of the potential or likely causes of a
given effect. The causes are grouped and arranged in
meaningful categories, sometimes called branches.
There are numerous ways to name the grouped
branches. The most common names include: Material,
Method, Manpower, Machinery, Measurement, and
Mother Nature (Environment).

128
Data Collection Plan
(pgs. 72 – 81)
• Data are the documentation of an observation or
measurement. Data are facts, but you may need
information – data which provide the answers to
questions you have.
• A good data collection plan helps ensure data will
be useful (measuring the right things) and
statistically valid (measuring things right).

Formulate the question or theory: What is the question
we are trying to answer?
2.
Decide how data will be communicated and analyzed.
3.
Decide how to measure: population or sample?

Data Collection
Asking the Right Question
Is the measure you are using a good one?
• Understandable
• Provides information for decision making
• Applies broadly
• Is conducive to uniform interpretation
• Is economical to apply
• Is compatible with existing design of sensors
• Is measurable even in the face of abstractions
133
Data Collection Plan
Communicating the Results
• Although you may not know what the data reveals – and
it may seem odd to be thinking about how your team will
analyze and display the data -- having some idea about
the sort of analysis and display you will use will help you
make decisions about the data you collect.
• If you wait until after the data are collected to think about
analysis, you may find that the data do not support the
kind of analysis you want to conduct.
134
Sampling
Qualities of a Good Sample
• Free from bias
– Bias is the presence of some undue influence on the sample
selection process that causes the population to appear different
than it actually is
• Representative
– The data should accurately reflect a population. Representative
sampling helps avoid biases specific to segments of the
population
• Random
– The data are collected in no predetermined order and each
element has an equal chance of being selected
135
Sampling
• Random Sampling – each element has an equal
chance of being selected
– Simple random (no pattern)
– Systematic random (every Nth value)
• Stratified Random Sampling – the population is
grouped into levels or “strata” according to some
characteristic and proportional samples are
drawn randomly from each stratum

Sample
• Randomly sampled from
each stratified category or
group
• Sample sizes for each
stratum are generally
proportional to the size of the
group within the population
Sampling
The following are NOT appropriate ways to
get a valid random sample:
• Fixed percentage sampling – leads to
undersampling from small populations and
oversampling from large populations
• Judgment sampling – using judgment to select x
number of “representative” samples - guess
• Chunk or convenience sampling – selecting
sample simply because the items are
conveniently grouped

Effective Data Driven Practice
Steps to Effective
Data Driven Practice
Ask the Right Question
- Bias the question with existing
belief system
Right/Appropriate Data
- No easy access to data systems
- Substitute what is needed with what is available
- Missing and incomplete data
- Data values are incorrect
Proper Analysis
Correct Audience
Correct Interpretation
Appropriate Action
142
Potential Failure Modes
- Insufficient statistical skill
- Inadequate statistical software
- Analysis paralysis
- Unable to take action
- Decision errors from false positives / false
negatives
- Refusal to accept the facts
- Bias the interpretation with existing belief system
- Intellectual dishonesty
- Unwilling to take action
- Analysis paralysis
