Six Sigma Tools List Template

Slide Content

The slide provides an overview of various Six Sigma tools that are essential for process improvement and quality management. It categorizes them into two sections for clarity. The left section lists foundational tools, such as "5 Whys" for root cause analysis, "Statistical and fitting tools" for data analysis, "Business Process Mapping" for visualizing the process flow, "Cause & effects diagrams (Fishbone / Ishikawa)" for identifying the causes of a problem, "Swimlane map" for delineating responsibilities in a process, and "Cost-benefit analysis" for evaluating the financial worth of initiatives. The right section details advanced analytical tools, which include "Pareto analysis" for prioritizing issues based on their impact, "Root cause analysis" to identify the origin of defects, "SIPOC analysis" (Suppliers, Inputs, Process, Outputs, Customers) for visual process understanding, "COPIS analysis" (Customer-centric version/perspective of SIPOC), and "Value stream mapping" for identifying value-added and non-value-added steps in a process.
