If all other things such as project outline and define deviations and correction using the famous DMAIC, staff training, evaluation and examination on the one side, then the selection of projects on the other hand, all of them can prevail. It does not matter that the improvement project is more than academic interest, but the success depends entirely on the selection of the project itself.
What Does It Mean To Select a project Wrong?
What does it mean to choose a wrongProject? Well, this question not because projects are created, selected in error by design or because the project selection team are incompetent. This question can not be obstinate than anything when it dawns, particularly at an advanced stage that misunderstood the project be judged from the length and control, and subsequently to failure.
Fail-proofing the projection process
Six Sigma is the selection of projects on two cornerstones Foundation, the "customer satisfaction"and maximizing ROI. " We can use the analogy that a house is only as good as its foundation.
Look for projects in your annual strategy documents that have defined the different schedules with business objectives for the coming year.
Another place to look is the household and HR, HR, for one, is an important component of expenditure. Even if it is not downsizing, together with the budget, it makes for a good deal of extravagance add cost of poor quality, COPQ. ROIMaximization depends largely on the reduction of COPQ.
Customer, complaints received from sales to give the voice of the customer, or VOC. Complaints are opportunities that define how they will benefit from your products or services. Business purposes for VOC Orient offers project ideas, too.
Places To Look For Projects
1. Recurring events, such as wages, hiring, etc. consume resources indefinitely. This category provides for a results -Projects
2. Six Sigma projects will receive funding to their probability of success, if the scope is narrowed down to realistic and measurable goals. The quote: "You can not boil the whole ocean" applies here as well.
3. Define the expected results and if they make measurable units, measurable results are to be regarded as practical and results-oriented.
4. Select manageable projects as they are completed successfully within a reasonable time. Projects of larger size to acceptFinally, more resources and commitment to lose the part of management.
5. Brainstorming with key people in strategic areas to generate ideas and critical look rationalities of processes, particularly in their respective areas. Brainstorming is a critical look at selection of the projects themselves. Pay attention to cost drivers such as any waste.
6. Process variation is another area to look, too. There are assumptions and hardened ideas about the existing variation prone processescan be rebutted and whether there are opportunities to rationalize? This is an important area that you can expect the project to contribute significantly to the bottom line by reducing make COPQ.
Individual industrial scenarios can, however, keep these guidelines too. Since the selection of projects is the foundation, there is no point in firefighting at a later time, as more and gone deeper into the implementation.
