Six Sigma Deployment

We build a belt structured DMAIC programme with Master Black Belt coaching and savings signed off by finance

Programme overview

Six Sigma
Deployment

Six Sigma Deployment makes the DMAIC discipline part of how your organisation works. We build it around a belt structure that runs from Yellow through Green and Black to Master Black Belt, following ISO 18404 and the ASQ body of knowledge. The DMAIC cycle takes each project through define, measure, analyse, improve and control. Our team ties project selection to your strategy, runs the Master Black Belt coaching and has every claimed saving validated by your finance function so the numbers are real.

Six Sigma Deployment Overview
How we deliver it

Our implementation model

We fix the standards that apply to your site before we open at programme charter & belt selection, and we do not close at programme effectiveness review until they are met.

Programme Charter & Belt Selection

Define Six Sigma programme, champion, Master Black Belt, Black Belt, Green Belt structure, project selection criteria.

Project Portfolio Build

Build DMAIC project pipeline, VOC / VOB / VOP project sourcing, scoping, charter authoring, financial benefit estimation.

Belt Training Delivery

Deliver belt training per ISO 18404 / ASQ, Yellow (1 day), Green (5 day + project), Black (4 week + 2 projects).

DMAIC Execution

Execute DMAIC, Define / Measure / Analyse / Improve / Control with project rigour and Master Black Belt coaching.

Financial Validation

Hard savings vs soft savings classification, finance signoff, project closure with documented sustainment plan.

Programme Effectiveness Review

Annual programme review, projects completed, savings realised, sigma improvement, capability building progress.
