This is detailed document explaining Six Sigma, include the tools and methodologies used in Six Sigma analysis. This training presentation has been adopted from the ones used at global consulting firms.

Six Sigma Basics delves into the core principles of variability and statistical meaning, emphasizing the importance of measuring processes multiple times to identify variations. This PPT provides practical examples to illustrate these concepts, such as comparing the levels of beer bottles or the effort required to close car doors. It underscores that achieving Six Sigma means limiting defects to just 3.4 per million opportunities, a benchmark of operational excellence.

The presentation outlines the structured phases of Six Sigma, starting with the DEFINE phase, which focuses on identifying team members, defining project objectives and scope, and understanding customer needs. The IMPROVE phase is dedicated to identifying actions to reduce defects and variability, utilizing tools like cost-benefit analysis, design of experiments, and capability analysis. Each phase is meticulously detailed, providing a clear roadmap for implementation.

Control charts are highlighted as essential tools for monitoring process performance over time. These charts help detect when a process is deviating from control limits, prompting immediate corrective actions. The document also emphasizes the role of consulting in accelerating results and ensuring sustainable knowledge transfer, offering a comprehensive approach to Six Sigma training and certification.
