The Right Time to Use Six Sigma in a Project

Here are a few scenarios that bring up the need for Six Sigma during project management:

Waste Elimination

Eliminating waste streamlines processes and reduces errors. Six Sigma uses process maps to identify unnecessary complexities.

2

Find the root cause

Root cause analysis (RCA) in Six Sigma is a powerful problem-solving tool.

Once the root cause is identified, it can be eliminated.

RCA tools  include Pareto Chart, 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and FMEA.

3

Reducing defects and variation

A defect is an imperfection and variation is an unexpected result caused  by process failure.

DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control)  is a popular method to reduce both.
