When selecting a Six Sigma or a lean Six Sigma certification program, several questions need to be addressed. In addition to the following discussion, the recorded webinar link below addresses many of these questions. This webinar is titled “A Mini Kaizen Event – Selecting a Provider: Not All Black Belt Training is Created Equal”. Focus […]
The stereotypical Lean Six Sigma DMAIC project has a nice process that produces data at a rapid enough rate that you can evaluate improvements during the project, but what options do you have if that is not the case? Using Monte-Carlo simulations can be a powerful way to estimate future performance without having to actually pilot test or prototype the improvements.

Cpk is one of many capability metrics that are available. When capability metrics are used, organizations typically provide a Cp and a Cpk. In this paper we will discuss the mechanics of these two capability metrics, along with the pros and cons. In summary, the Cpk can provide insight on performance to a requirement if the process data used in the calculation comes from a normal distribution. If the process data is non-normal or it is the result of a combination of processes (a mixture of processes) then it provides an underestimation of the true non-conformance capability.

Competitive pressures are forcing executives to react faster to changing business conditions and customer requirements. Line managers, and decision-makers need to be able to monitor and manage day to day business operations with access to continuously updated performance metrics to make faster decisions and take immediate action. In short, what’s needed is a performance measurement system.
