1、six sigma projectguidance notesintroduction1.introductionwhilst there is no hard and fast template or rule for the completion of end of project reports, it is important to bear in mind that this paper represents all of the had work you and you team have done. therefore, accuracy, relevance and factu

2、al correctness are vital. it is also worthy of note that the individuals in the organisation may be six sigma blind and therefore, the manner in which it presented also explains in a logical sequence the whole project life-cycle.2.aimthe aim of this guide is to provide you with a suggested format fo

3、r the end of project submission. whilst the document is wholly personal, it is important to device a structure that you can use, understand and, more importantly use as a personal guide to ensure all areas have been covered. 3.the end of project submissionin order to ensure the needs of the submissi

4、on cover everything, you first need to find out through the organisation who is going to receive a copy. some six sigma black belts (ssbb) have abridged (shortened) versions for some and more comprehensive for others. whilst this may go someway to saving the planet and a few rain forests, it hardly

5、prepares all readers with all the required information. also, you need to look at what the readers know of six sigma. a good analogy is that a ssbb is akin to the professional golfers caddy. the caddy briefs the golfers on a whole host of subjects and topics, land lie, lie of the grass, slopes on th

6、e green, exact yardage, wind direction and speed, hazards that are/might be in play, sun etc etc etc however, it is for the golfer to take the shot, in this analogy the senior management are likened to the golfer. you (the ssbb or green belt) prepare, brief and explain the situation, enabling senior

7、 management to put together a structured action plan. therefore, due thought and diligence is due to the paper you are/have submitted.4.layout of the documentas explained in paragraph 1 there is no formal/template layout for a ss submission paper but it does need to be conclusive. attached at annex

8、a is my suggestion for the layout and degree of detail required.5.supporting informationit is a good plan to have supporting information, charts, nominal rolls (participants in the project) financial information, scope details etc put together as a document, either formally bound (comb binder) or co

9、ntained within a tidy (preferably new!) binder. again, it is worth bearing in mind that if the submission is delivered in a tardy fashion, it will be assumed that the information contained within it will also be of equal tardiness! therefore, programme sufficient time into the closedown of the proje

10、ct to allow you an administrative window to close properly and professionally. it is all too common in six sigma and project management that submissions are used a coffee mats because thats what they look like they should be used for. so, top tip of the day, plan the closedown, allow sufficient time

11、 and present the document so that the main people think wow!6.information technologyas important as the hard (paper) copies is the it copy. make sure this is delivered to key people properly and neatly presented so that if they are bored on the journey home they can load the information onto their l

12、aptop and view with pleasure. this ideally should be contained within a cd pocket with the hard copy. a big must is that a copy of the cd is archived with the project management office (or similar) for auditable, reference, historic purposes. also, in case all of the copies get lost if this sounds a

13、 little far fetched, wait until youve been doing it a few years!7.conclusionif you stick to the same template that you have devised you cant, in the long term get lost. if anything, it will act as a reminder and/or activate action. this way, you are more likely to produce an outstanding piece of wor

14、k to reflect the project and omit nothing a comprehensive report, that covers everything is critical. you get one opportunity to submit the report, miss things out and the project loses value also, youre unlikely to go much further in the industry.good luck. annex ato six sigma projectsuggested temp
