Project Description Project Title Streamline Incomplete Applicant Follow-ups Date Charted Target Completion Date Actual Completion Date 05/17/12 Project Leader Team Facilitator Team Champion Emily Vazquez & Pamela Horne Rebekkah Porter & Angela Love Debra Emerson Estimated Cost Savings Actual Cost Savings Costs of implementing project There is not really a cost savings; it’s more of an efficiency savings. Team members Emily Vazquez, Angela Love, Rebekkah Porter, Debra Emerson, Pamela Horne Problem Statement The current process of sending follow-up notifications to applicants, who have been incomplete for 45 days and 90 days, is a five-step process within three different computer systems. Each entry term (spring, summer and fall) must be ran individually, which adds to the amount of time it takes. Because it is so time consuming, what should be a daily task, has become a weekly one. Y = process time. Defect occurs when process time is 5+ steps. Project Goal and Metrics Stream line the follow-up procedure to improve/condense processing time. 1 rev 12 Describe the challenges and support required While on the quest to improve the current follow-up procedure, we are also challenged to learn the existing process (In short, we must learn it, so that we can change/improve it).

  • Overview of DMAIC
    ST 435/535 Statistical Methods for Quality and Productivity Improvement / Statistical Process Control Overview of DMAIC DMAIC is a \structured problem-solving procedure" closely connected to Six Sigma. Its five steps are: Define opportunities; Measure performance; Analyze opportunity; Improve performance; Control performance. 1 / 22 The DMAIC Process Overview of DMAIC ST 435/535 Statistical Methods for Quality and Productivity Improvement / Statistical Process Control The Define step The Define step is largely non-statistical. Objectives Identify and validate the business improvement opportunity; Define critical customer requirements; Document processes; Establish project charter, build team. 2 / 22 The DMAIC Process The Define Step ST 435/535 Statistical Methods for Quality and Productivity Improvement / Statistical Process Control The Measure step The Measure step involves various statistical contributions. Objectives Determine what to measure; Develop and validate measurement systems; Manage measurement data collection; Determine Sigma performance level. 3 / 22 The DMAIC Process The Measure Step ST 435/535 Statistical Methods for Quality and Productivity Improvement / Statistical Process Control Deciding what to measure is sometimes straightforward (e.g. diameter of a shaft); often, however, a system or process can be characterized in many ways, and choosing one as a focus is a non-trivial decision. Similarly, how to measure it may be a serious decision. In some cases, there may be: a cheap and easy but imprecise method; a more expensive but precise method. The Measure step includes collecting baseline data: the performance of the system before improvement. 4 / 22 The DMAIC Process The Measure Step ST 435/535 Statistical Methods for Quality and Productivity Improvement / Statistical Process Control The Analyze step The Analyze step is inherently statistical.

The advantage of these tools is that they can identify the effects of the processes that cause unnatural variability in processes that result of errors and poor quality. Tools like capability index, histogram, model DMAIC, control chart, etc. can reliably determine the anomalous variability in the process and thereby contribute to quality improvement. In the paper through histograms and Shewhart control charts action exposing the systemic implications of the processes and therefore unnatural variability in processes, which result in non-compliance. The results clearly show that through the DMAIC model can systematically improve quality. Histograms show the contribution of the normal distribution of frequencies monitored quality characteristics while Shewhart control charts show that the investigated processes are under statistical control. Use of DMAIC model as well as other statistical quality tools is a way to achieve continuous quality improvement. ©© 20152016 The The Authors. Authors.

  • Using Six Sigma As a Problem Solving Methodology for Senior
    Session 2005-517 Using Six Sigma as a Problem-Solving Methodology for Senior Design Projects Leonard A. Perry University of San Diego Abstract Senior design projects require students to demonstrate the integrated application of their industrial engineering skills, knowledge, and tools learned throughout their curriculum. At University of San Diego (USD), projects involve identifying and solving a real life problem in the field of industrial engineering. For many students, however, the unstructured nature of these projects present new challenges. “What problem solving methodology can I use to solve an unstructured problem?” Six Sigma is a proven process improvement methodology used in industry for solving problems. The Six Sigma philosophy and methodology started at Motorola in the 1980’s has gained popularity in industry is based on the DMAIC model which contains five steps: Define, Measure, Improve, and Control. The DMAIC method provides the framework to improve the capabilities of an existing process by reducing variation, defects, or even costs. The DMAIC is a structured problem solving methodology that incorporates a majority of the process improvement tools introduced throughout an Industrial Engineering student’s career at the university. The DMAIC methodology can provide students with the framework and structure necessary to successfully complete an open ended project within the specified timeframe. The paper presents how the DMAIC methodology has been incorporated into the senior design project at USD. Background The Industrial & Systems Engineering (ISyE) department at University of San Diego includes broad coursework across the spectrum of ISyE disciplines including engineering economics, statistics, manufacturing, human factors and operations research. The number of students in each course varies, but usually ranges from 10 to 25 students.
