Event description
In today’s competitive manufacturing environment, even small inefficiencies can lead to costly waste, production delays, and lost revenue. Whether you’re managing a growing operation or leading an established manufacturing company, improving quality, reducing defects, and streamlining processes are essential to staying competitive.
Join us as business consultant, Matthew McIntyre, teaches a practical, manufacturer-focused webinar designed to introduce you to the proven principles of Six Sigma and how they can be applied directly on the production floor.
During this session, we will cover:
🔹 Introduction to Six Sigma
- What Six Sigma is and why it matters in manufacturing
- An overview of the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) framework
- The critical roles of executives, champions, and project leaders
- Understanding the different levels of Six Sigma expertise and how they support operational success
🔹 Key Concepts in Six Sigma
- Using the Critical to Quality (CTQ) matrix to align production with customer expectations
- Understanding variation and the normal curve in manufacturing processes
- Measuring defects per million opportunities (DPMO)
- What sigma levels mean for your operation’s performance
🔹 Selecting the Right Six Sigma Projects
- How to identify high-impact improvement opportunities within your facility
- Selecting the right team to drive measurable results
By the end of this webinar, manufacturers will walk away with a clearer understanding of how Six Sigma can reduce scrap, rework, downtime, and process variation — while improving consistency, customer satisfaction, and profitability.
If you’re ready to build a more efficient, data-driven manufacturing operation, this session will give you the foundation to get started.
