Six Sigma for Government IT

2011-03-11T23:00:00.000-08:00

nformation Technology (IT) has altered the way businesses and governments interact and make decisions and many municipal governments enable their citizenry via IT. While IT is expected to add efficiency, increased reliance on IT demands highly reliable service with assurance that online information is secure, accurate and available almost instantly so that server problems must be prevented or, upon occurrence, rapidly detected and corrected. Municipal governments should also be good stewards so that financial management is critical. These issues are perhaps nowhere more evident than Washington, DC where the Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) was forged in direct response to years of IT disinvestments and charged with consolidating the fragmented IT systems of DC’s 68 agencies into a standardized infrastructure and solving the District’s IT system budgeting and planning problems, to transform DC into the City of Access.

OCTO’s human capital is generally unfamiliar with and untrained in use of quality tools or strategies. Moreover, personnel is already “stretched”, hence OCTO engaged QUEST (Quality Enhancement Systems & Teams) consulting teams from the University of Maryland to conduct a comprehensive analysis of Information Technology Service Level Management (IT SLM). Five IT SLM areas were examined through two lenses with a team assigned to each area and lens. The IT SLM areas examined were Availability Management, Capacity Management, Financial Management, Service Continuity, and Service Level Management. The two lenses were Six Sigma and Business Excellence. QUEST teams derived a number of strategic and tactical improvement suggestions aimed at advancing OCTO in its endeavor to aid DC in becoming the City of Access. Presented herein are highlights of the effort with results enhanced by synergy between the two lenses. OCTO leadership projects between $2 million and $3 million in long-term savings from these efforts read more here........

Lean Six Sigma Tool

2009-08-10T19:29:00.000-07:00

In recent times, one of the most notable offshoots has been none other than Lean Six Sigma - it is already being touted as the next big thing in the world of quality improvement concepts, methodologies and systems.

It would not be wrong to say that Lean Six Sigma is an advanced version of older variations of Six Sigma, because wherever possible it not only helps in reducing the defect rate but also helps in improving overall efficiency business processes by identifying and eliminating unnecessary sub-processes.

For this, Lean Six Sigma depends on a wide variety of tools and techniques, some of which are described below.

Statistical Lean Six Sigma Tools and Techniques

There are many Lean tools available under this category, but the one that is most commonly used is the CPM, short for Critical Path Method. Speaking of CPM, it is be worth mentioning that this tool was never designed specifically for Lean Six Sigma.

CPM was in use even before Lean concepts came into existence, but experts categorize it as a Lean tool because its full potential was realized only when it was used during Lean Six Sigma implementations. CPM helps by scheduling the initialization and completion of each and every sub-process, something that makes it easier for Six Sigma professionals to keep track of ongoing Lean process improvement projects.

Other Lean statistical tools that play an equally important role include FMEA (Failure mode and Effects Analysis), used for identifying and eliminating potential problems and issues, VOC Requirements Translation and Kano Analysis, both of which are utilized for quantifying vague customer input and feedback into measurable terms.

Lean Six Sigma Software Tools

Lean Six Sigma software tools use the very same concepts and techniques as described above, with the only difference that achieving the desired objectives becomes a lot easier and faster with them.

This automatically improves efficiency, one of the primary objectives of Lean Six Sigma. Some of the most commonly deployed Lean software tools include MiniTab, SixNet Intelligence, Six Sigma Calculator and RapAnalyst, which is used alongside Design of Experiments (DOE) and data mining projects.

Judgmental Lean Tools and Techniques

If Lean Six Sigma is described as a human body, then judgmental Lean tools and techniques would certainly be described as its backbone. This is so because these tools play an important part in the decision-making process, wherein Six Sigma professionals are required to identify reasons for common problems and also to devise effective solutions for identified issues.

Some of the most common judgmental Lean tools and techniques used by Six Sigma professionals include the Ishikawa Root Cause Analysis Diagram (Fishbone diagram), Thought Maps, Regulation Diagrams, and Brain Storming & Affinity Group Tool.

For achieving the desired Lean Six Sigma goals and objectives, all the above described tools are usually deployed simultaneously. However, it may vary depending on the type of Lean Six Sigma implementation project and the preferences of Six Sigma professionals.
