Six Sigma Concept Questions Infographics

Slide Content

The slide features a graphical representation of the Six Sigma methodology with related concept questions designed to guide a project's progression. Starting with "Define," it prompts identifying the project's purpose with questions like "What should we do this time?" and "What is your goal?" For "Measure," it asks "What is sought?" and "Lack of what?" to understand the data requirements. "Analyze" scrutinizes the problem through "What’s a trouble?" and "Who is in trouble?" leading to "Improve" with solution-oriented queries "What is the expected solution?" and "Think solutions." Finally, "Control" ensures sustained success, asking to "Maintain the solution" and "Keep it good."

Graphical Look

• The slide features a large, bold title in dark gray at the top.
• A series of chevron arrows in different colors spans across the middle, each labeled with one of the Six Sigma phases: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control, along with their associated single-letter abbreviations (DMAIC).
• Above and below each chevron are light gray banners with corresponding questions that align with each phase of the Six Sigma process.
• Each phase of DMAIC is matched with a specific icon representing the phase's focus, such as a magnifying glass for "Analyze" and a gear for "Improve."
• The background is white, providing a stark contrast for the colorful chevron graphics and text boxes.

The overall look of the slide is modern and clean, with an emphasis on visual cues to delineate the different stages of Six Sigma. The color-coded chevrons and associated icons effectively represent the structured approach of the process.

Use Cases

• In a business presentation introducing the Six Sigma methodology to team members or stakeholders.
• Within a training session for process improvement, illustrating the key questions to ask during each DMAIC phase.
• As a reference during project meetings or workshops to keep the focus on the current phase of process improvement and to stimulate discussion.
• During a project review or audit to assess whether the Six Sigma steps are being correctly followed and the relevant questions are being addressed.
