Using Microsoft Project For Implementation of Six Sigma Projects

This document discusses using Microsoft Project to implement Six Sigma projects. It provides an overview of Six Sigma methodology and how MSP can be used to plan and track the Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control process. Key points covered include how MSP features like work breakdown structures, milestones, durations, cost management and reporting align with Six Sigma phases and tools. Examples are given of how baseline measures, control charts, process maps and other techniques can be planned and monitored through MSP.

Implementation of Six Sigma


Projects

A Tools and Tips Presentation

Nora Gessert, Pcubed


Six Sigma is Defined as…

A problem scheduled for a


solution that has a set of metrics
that can be used to set project
goals and monitor progress.”
Sigma Parts per million

6 sigma 3.4 defects per million

5 sigma 233 defects per million

4 sigma 6,210 defects per million

3 sigma 66, 807 defects per million

2 sigma 308, 537 defects per


million

1 sigma 690,000 defects per


million
Six Sigma Project Selection
The project is linked to business priorities
The problem is of major importance to the
organization
The project has a reasonable scope (3-6 months)
The project defines clear quantitative measures of
success
The projects’ importance is clear to the organization
The project has the support and approval of
management
A Project is Defined as….
“A temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique
product or service” PMBOK
