Six Sigma Projects

  Below are some examples of potential projects. Some are good process improvement project ideas and some are not.

 1.        The installation of a new process or piece equipment that has already been selected.

 Answer: This is not a good project idea.  The decision about what to do has already been made.

 2.        Call center cycle time improvement.

 Answer: This is a good project idea. It involves the improvement of an existing process.  It may need further scope narrowing (Type of phone calls, for example).

 3.        Development of a new ad campaign.

 Answer: This is not a good project idea.  The scope is too broad and does not address improving an existing process. Even so, some of the tools that make up common process improvement methodologies can be used in the development of the new ad campaign.

 4.        Improve safety.

 Answer: This can be a good project idea.  The scope is too broad and needs to be narrowed.  If the scope were narrowed to something more specific, it would become a good project (reduce back injuries in the warehouse, for example).

 5.        Reduce the number of back injuries while unloading trucks.

 Answer: This is a good project idea.  The project is narrowed down to a specific situation involving back injuries.

 6.        Increase profits

 Answer: Not a good project idea.  The scope is too broad.

  1. Thanks for your post. I would like to comment that the first thing you will need to do is determine if you really need credit repair. To do that you need to get your hands on a duplicate of your credit rating. That should not be difficult, since the government makes it necessary that you are allowed to receive one totally free copy of your real credit report annually. You just have to request the right individuals. You can either look at website for your Federal Trade Commission and also contact one of the main credit agencies instantly.

  2. Good day! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a collection of volunteers and starting a new project in a community in the same niche. Your blog provided us valuable information to work on. You have done a outstanding job!

  3. I’m curious to find out what blog system you happen to be using? I’m having some small security problems with my latest blog and I’d like to find something more secure. Do you have any suggestions?

  4. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being stolen? I’d truly appreciate it.
