Six Sigma Improvement Tools: Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)

Besides CNX diagram (Fishbone diagram) and Pareto diagram, there are other ways to determine the significant Few opportunities is by FMEA. Pareto diagram requires a lot of data variations to determine the factors that most influence on an event / process. If the data is not possible then the results obtained will be raw and less satisfying. For that use of FMEA is strongly recommended.

The use of FMEA in the beginning was the maintenance of industrial safety or reliability, but later widely used in various processes. From the FMEA results, improvement priorities will be given to components that have a priority level (NDP) the highest.

FMEA is made in tables consisting of columns as follows.
Component: The component to be studied can include machines, processes, etc.
Failure Mode: The model of the failure is often the case.
Failure Effect: the impact if a component called the failure modes fail.
SEV: severity is the quantification of how serious the condition that caused the failure of a result mentioned in the failure effect. This is a level of seriousness that was written 1,2,3,4,5 (not serious to very serious)

Six Sigma analysis Tools: Box Plot or Box and Whisker Plot Graphic

To describe a set of data in the analysis of six sigma is a Box Plot. Box Plot or Box and Whisker Plot graphic picture of the 5 statistical description, namely the smallest value, first quartile (Q1), Median, Third quartile, and the greatest value.

Graphic box plot can depict almost complete cypress pollen data sets. Because the information contained in the image graph is complete, and box plots are widely used primarily to compare the two sets of data or more.

Six Sigma Analysis Tools: Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Facilitate the Flow of Work

Standard peration Procedure, Operation Instruction, Work Instruction is a detaileddescription is taken from the PF diagram. If the PF SCARA workflow diagram explaining the outline and for more details poured into Operation Instruction / work procedures that have been standardized

In the Standard Operation Procedure contains specifications for each activity and made detailed and as simple as possible in order to be understood by all operators who run them.

In six sigma among the tools that one another have different capabilities in providing data for analysis. They have their own way to solve the problem. Identify the problem can be seen clearly with the root-case analysis or fishbone diagram. After knowing the root of problems in manufacturing the next step is to create a procedure to complete. One way is to make the standard Operation Procedure, for completion of the steps that we do can walk with a systematic and orderly
