Overview/Description
Have you ever heard someone say, "That's putting the cart before the horse"? It's a quaint way of describing a process that's being implemented in a backward manner. One example of this is a company that begins to make organization-wide improvements before identifying which improvements would provide optimal benefits. This course, Define the Six Sigma Opportunity, is a guide for choosing those processes that will reap the greatest corporate benefit from Six Sigma® projects. Besides being given guidelines for establishing an improvement opportunity, you'll learn specific methods for capturing the voice of the customer, and how to use the Kano model to discern and categorize those customers' needs. You'll also learn about Six Sigma improvement opportunities from a financial perspective: what to consider before launching a project, the financial metrics that will be involved, and how to calculate the cost of poor quality.
