That’s what Six Sigma has been saying all along! Your business has meaning because of your customers. If you look at this infographic, the first point is to “Specify value as perceived by the customer.” It is your customer that dictates what value is in regards to your product or service. This is such a simple concept that many business owners don’t get. As this COVID-19 stay-at-home order has shown us, the customer is gold and giving them what they deem as value is imperative.

If you have regular customers who keep coming back to buy your products or services, then you have achieved the American dream of running a successful business! To keep that going, you must listen to your customers’ feedback. If they are making suggestions about a product or service that you currently don’t offer, perhaps it’s time to reevaluate the current situation. If you could design a product specifically for the customer you service and make sure there aren’t any design flaws from the get-go, would you do it?

Or perhaps you could just improve an existing product or service? In this infographic, we outline how some Fortune 500 companies make that decision through the use of tools such as DMAIC and DMADV.

As time marched on, so did the evolution of Six Sigma as we know it today. We must pay homage to Bill Smith, who is known as the Father of Six Sigma. The success Motorola obtained after implementation of Six Sigma was all because of Bill Smith. Earning recognition for his work, he received the Malcom Baldrige National Quality Award, which was said to be the high point of Bill’s life. The last years of Bill’s life were spent doing what he loved, teaching and implementing Six Sigma.

The 5 Whys is the best Six Sigma tool to find out the root cause of a problem. It is to be used during the Analyze Phase of the DMAIC process. The steps are simple — just write down the specific issue or problem. Then ask why the problem happens and answer the question. Keep asking until you are satisfied with your answer. This is a great way to really get down to the root of the problem. Sometimes it takes more than 5 Whys to get your true answer! The infographic below outlines a example of this process.
