Use six sigma techniques
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit applies where a statistical-based strategy, such as six sigma will be used to establish current quality, cost and delivery performance and then to investigate and improve all or part of a process. This will be undertaken with other members of the process team.
This unit requires the application of skills associated with using information, problem solving, initiative, enterprise, planning and organising in order to identify an area requiring improvement and develop a measured process to make improvements. The unit covers the application of the Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, and Control and standardise (DMAIC) process.
Depending on the scale of six sigma implementation in the organisation the following units may also be relevant:
MSS404050A Undertake process capability improvements
MSS403002A Ensure process improvements are sustained
MSS403010A Facilitate change in an organisation implementing competitive systems and practices
MSAPMSUP390A Use structured problem solving tools.
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to apply six sigma techniques to improve quality, cost and delivery in operations and other supporting processes in the workplace
