LEAN SIX SIGMA GLOSSARY OF TERMSDeployment Champion (also known as Deployment Director)A senior level manager, normally reporting to an Executive Team, who isresponsible for the successful management of the deployment plan. CoordinatesLean 6 Sigma policy, planning and execution. Generally a command will have afull time Deployment Champion if they have 15 or more Black Belts assigned.DMAICDefine, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control. The steps of a Lean 6 Sigmaproject. Define the real problem to be solved; collect data that defines theissues; analyze the data using statistical techniques; develop an improvementbased on the analysis; put the improvement in place and control it, so that itcontinues to provide benefit over time.First Time ThroughThe idea that quality is achieved at its lowest cost by producing your product orservice right the first time, without rework.Five Why’sA simple problem solving method of analyzing a problem or issue by asking“Why” five times. The root cause should become evident by continuing to askwhy a situation exists.Flow ChartA problem solving tool that illustrates a process. It can show the “as is” processor “should be” process for comparison and should make waste evident.Goal StatementA description of the intended target or desired results of Process Improvement orDesign/Redesign activities. It is usually included in a team charter and supportedwith actual numbers and details once data has been obtained.Green BeltThe team member who demonstrates an interest in, and aptitude, for the LeanSix Sigma methodologies and tools. They receive basic training in thetechniques, which they use either in support of a Black Belt project, or to run theirown projects typically in their own area of responsibility. Green Belts are normallypart time on Six Sigma project activities, although in most cases they use SixSigma methods as part of their normal jobs.www.apollosolutions.usApollo SolutionsDr. Tom DePaoliDrTomD@gmail.com10
LEAN SIX SIGMA GLOSSARY OF TERMSHypothesis TestingThe application of statistical tests to a data sample, in order to determine whatcannot be concluded based on the data (the results of hypothesis testing areeither a rejection of the hypothesis or a failure to reject). Hypothesis testing canbe conducted with attribute and continuous data and on normal and nonnormalsamples. The actual tests will be different based on the nature of the data.Hidden FactoryA concept for showing the costs of creating quality without using lean or 6 sigma.In the hidden factory, there are a number of stations where rework or scrap iscreated, in order to achieve a quality target. The goal of Lean 6 Sigma is toremove the requirement for rework and scrap, while increasing quality. Theresult is higher quality at a lower cost.Hoshin Kanri Strategy.Literally it means “to move the whole ship in the right direction.” It refers to therequirement that all improvement projects meet the strategic needs of theorganization.ImproveDMAIC phase where solutions and ideas are creatively generated and decidedupon. Once a problem has been fully identified, measured, and analyzed,potential solutions can be determined to solve the problem in the problemstatement and support the goal statement.Just in TimeA lean concept that aims to deliver products and services to the customer only asthey are requested. It goes beyond the Pull Systems concept, in that itaddresses the timing of the process and process communications. It answersquestions such as: when must I start this process step in order to have a productready for the customer, when they ask for it?KaizenA term meaning Continuous Improvement. In Lean 6 Sigma terms, it refers to aproject performed at the workgroup level that will remove waste from a process.These types of projects can be performed quickly (usually less than 2 months).Lean 6 SigmaA method by which processes are improved for quality; cost; speed andaccuracy. It is the combination of Lean Methods and 6 Sigma.www.apollosolutions.usApollo SolutionsDr. Tom DePaoliDrTomD@gmail.com11
