The Basic Concept Behind The Six Sigma Houston Method

By Leslie Ball


When it comes to business as a whole, quality control is actually one of the most important things to take note of. Of course the six sigma houston method is used mostly by manufacturing companies because it deals more with the process of operations and creating products but other types of companies can use a lot of the concepts as well. Now if one would want to know a little bit about this method, here are some of the basic concepts.

Now basically, this very basic foundation that this process would follow would be the DMAIC. Basically, the DMAIC is a strategy that is used to improve the processes of the company when it comes to operations. DMAIC is an acronym for definition of a problem, measurement of the existing process, analysis, improvement, and of course control.

Now the first thing that one should look at would be the defining of the issue at hand. Now one would probably be able to spot that a process in his company is not very efficient but the question is what is making the process inefficient. He should find out what the problem is and what issue is to be fixed with this process.

Now from there, one has to do a little bit of experimentation and a little bit of observation. He will be walking into the second step of this process which is measuring the existing process and making observations on what may be making the process not as efficient as expected. Of course he will keep on observing the process and will be taking down a lot of notes at this point.

After the observations, then the next step to the process would be to create an analysis of what the problem is. Now this is the most difficult part because it will take a lot of time and a lot of formulations before one can be able to create a solution. Basically, one will be trying to find the root problems in the processes and trying to come up with some solutions.

Of course the very next thing to do would be to start implementing these solutions. Now the implementation would be in the improving the process stage because the new solutions are supposed to improve the system as a whole. So when he is implementing the solutions, he has to make sure that all the solutions are actually applicable.

Lastly, he has to then ensure that the new processes are properly controlled so that they stay there. Basically in this step, he will be making an evaluation of how good the new process as and he will be controlling how the new process goes. Before the process becomes fully integrated, he first has to oversee its integration otherwise it will not be integrated for long.

So basically, those are some of the things that one should know about this method. In Houston TX, almost all companies would teach their management staff about this method. This method is known to be one of the most useful as well as one of the most applicable ones that can be used in actually any type of business.
