Six Sigma and Design Risk Assessment Go Hand in Hand
companies using six sigma or master black belts to implement the changes
- (1888PressRelease) May 08, 2011 - Six Sigma uses Master Black Belts, or Black Belts, to investigate the change that is desired and how effective it will actually be. Black Belts are people from different aspects of the company that are brought together specifically to ensure that any and all changes are truly beneficial to the company, and to assist by locating possible problems in order to find solutions for them.
They come up with a plan to implement the changes and make the changes go as efficiently as possible with the fewest problems. Design risk assessment is a very important part of this process. During this process, a new product or service is severely scrutinized for all negative aspects. Without design risk assessment, Six Sigma cannot do the job that it is created to do. However, Six Sigma can make the process more thorough, eventually saving millions of dollars for any business or company that chooses to use it.
If a problem is located, the Black Belts will work together to find a variety of solutions to it. Since they are from all aspects of the same company, their brainstorming can come up with many solutions that are viable even though they may all be very different. Everything is highly documented allowing all ideas to be accessible in the future should the problem actually arise. This saves a great deal of time and energy for the company in the future. Should a problem come up that has absolutely no solution, the Black Belts will communicate this. This does not necessarily mean that the idea or product is scrapped, but it may be placed on a "back burner" until technology catches up to allow for a solution.
Without design risk assessment, Six Sigma cannot do the job that it is created to do. However, Six Sigma can make the process more thorough, eventually saving millions of dollars for any business or company that chooses to use it.
