Six Sigma Recruiting…  … is a problem solving methodology … performance is the statistical term for a process that produces fewer than 3.4 defects or errors per million opportunities … improvement is when the key outcomes of a business or work process are improved dramatically, often  by 70%  or more … is a general purpose approach to minimizing mistakes and maximizing value … helps organization achieve  breakthrough  improvements, not incremental © The Talent Buzz

Ready to Launch a Six Sigma Project? Must have significant financial or strategic value Produce results that significantly exceed the amount of resources and effort required to obtain improvements Improve performance by greater than 70% over existing levels © The Talent Buzz
DMAIC Model Define What problem needs to be solved Measure What is the capability of the process? Analyze When and where do defects occur? Improve What are the vital factors? Control What controls can be put in place to sustain? Define improvement goals.  At a process level goals might be to reduce defect levels or increase yields.  Apply data mining methods to identify improvement opportunities. Measure the existing system.  Establish valid and reliable metrics to help monitor progress toward the goal(s)  defined in the previous step.  Begin by determining current baselines. Analyze the system to identify ways to eliminate the gap between the current performance or process and the desired goal.  Apply statistical tools to guide the analysis. Improve the system.  Be creative in finding new ways to do things better.  Use project management and other planning tools to implement the new approach. Control and institutionalize the new system.  © The Talent Buzz

Editor's Notes

  1. As you have gone through defining the overall project, you also need to identify your stakeholders and their needs. This can be done several ways, both formally and informally. - Formally by engaging these groups as part of the project team, or as a project “gating review” team - Or more informally through historic survey data or client feedback In Six Sigma, there are 3 “voices” you need to consider: VOC: Generally speaking, these are the customer requirements or requests VOB: The voice of profitability or ROI. VOP: This is the overall ability of your process to meet the requirements and needs of your customers and the business. It also has a heavy component looking at what resources are required to successfully run a specific process.
  2. The next phase of the DMAIC model is Measure… This is where you are measuring your existing system or process, as well as looking at baselines for your measurement. A complete CBA is required to get the necessary approvals to secure funding, or receive approvals to move forward with your project. Process Improvement Opportunities: - Reducing the number of handoffs in HR - On-line employment application and background check authorization Operating Environment Opportunities: - Creating a centralized staffing model - Creating a competitive talent sourcing capability Effectiveness: - SLA, managing client expectations - Exceptional candidate experience Efficiency: - Technology - Cost per hire
  3. Objective: To determine major causes, potential root causes and potential solution options Purpose: To identify the cause of a problem by applying the experience and expertise of a group in structured brainstorming. Also used to brainstorm possible ways to cause a desired effect to happen Instructions: 1. Name the problem or effect to be analyzed and write it at the head of a fishbone diagram 2. Determine appropriate cause categories. These are the bones of the fish 3. Brainstorm potential causes in each category 4. Identify the cause-and-effect relationship between factors in each category 5. Construct the fishbone diagram 6. Use data gathering or team consensus to narrow down and select most likely cause(s) for further investigation and/or solution generation Duration: 60-120 minutes
