Six Sigma improvement projects

One problem, one number, one team — moved with Six Sigma and kept with a control plan.

A Six Sigma project takes a single, well-defined problem — a cost line, a cycle time, a defect rate, a complaint category — and works it through Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control with your people. Every project starts with a baseline and ends with a control plan.

Who it is for
  • Manufacturers, contractors and service operations with a recurring loss
  • Leaders who want their teams to learn the method by doing
  • Organisations that have a Waste Scan register and want to act on it

What you get

  • Project charter and baseline agreed with the sponsor
  • Data analysis and root-cause evidence
  • A piloted solution with a measured before/after
  • A control plan the team runs without us
How it works
  1. Define

    Charter, scope, the customer of the process and the metric that will judge success.

  2. Measure

    A trustworthy baseline: data collection plan, measurement check, current capability.

  3. Analyze

    Root causes proven with data — not opinions. Pareto, hypothesis tests, process maps.

  4. Improve and Control

    Pilot the fix, confirm the gain, then a control plan, owners and a review rhythm.

Questions we get
How long is a project?

Typically 8–16 weeks depending on data availability and how often the process runs.

Who does the work?

A small team from your side, coached by us. We facilitate, analyse and challenge; your people own the change.

Can it be run remotely?

Yes for most office and service processes; plant and site work needs some days on the floor.

Often combined with
Diagnostic sprint

Waste Scan

A 5–10 day diagnostic: your biggest losses, quantified, with a 90-day plan.
