DISCOVER WASTE .• Share the same tools of how to improve Safety and Quality by discover waste and

defects, and build a systematic way to eliminate it

Look at “3 Real things on every operation:1- Material Flow2- Information Flow3- Work In Process (Both)

Be on the look-out for these 3 Major contributors.1- Overburden/ Overdoing

waste caused by how work and task are designed.

2- Unevenness

waste caused by poor quality ( process unpredictability)

3- Process methods

waste caused by “DOT WIMP”

KCBB Project Overview

Six Sigma (DMAIC)• Attack Method• Understand the Problem • Form the Team • Understand the Process • Gather Process Data• Analyze the process• Identify possible corrective Actions• Screen/ Experiment to Select best

Action • Implement Action• Sustain Improvement.

KCBB Conceptual module

KCBB (RBC) SIPOC

HFMEA• HFMEA stand for Healthcare Failure Mode and Effects

Analysis.• It is an analysis of potential failure modes within a system for

classification by severity or determination of the effect of failures on the system. It is widely used in manufacturing industries in various phases of the product life cycle and is now increasingly finding use in the service industry. Failure causes are any errors or defects in process, design, or item, especially those that affect the customer, and can be potential or actual

5 whys Analysis

• The 5 Whys is a technique used in the Analyze phase of the Six Sigma DMAIC methodology. It's a great Six Sigma tool that doesn't involve data segmentation, hypothesis testing, regression or other advanced statistical tools, and in many cases can be completed without a data collection plan.

THE 5S PRINCIPLES

• SEIRI – Organization/Sort out• SEITON – Orderliness/Systemize• SEISO – The Cleaning/Shining• SEIKETSU – STANDARDIZE• SHITSUKE - Sustain/Discipline

Conclusion Six Sigma concepts and methods enable a healthcare

organization to offer improved healthcare services to patients by streamlining business processes. In the healthcare industry, the quality of services rendered depends a lot on human skills, which is often very difficult to measure and control. 6-Sigma is effective as it is based on a comprehensive approach that focuses on improving both human as well as transactional aspects of a process. Although implementing Six Sigma concepts in the healthcare industry is a challenging task, it does help in getting quick results.
