Question
“How does a reduction in cycle time benefit an organization?”
10
CYCLE TIME REDUCTION
• Identify and eliminate costly rework• Frees up resources• Improves productivity• Frequent target for TQM
11
VARIATION
• All processes have variation• Different types• Some is acceptable• Some is not acceptable

Are specific to each process.

14
Special (Assignable) Causes Are attributed to something outside of the
process. Result in abnormal process variation. Do not result in process improvement
if eliminated.
15
EXAMPLES
• Landing at wrong airport• Team to wrong hospital• Cab lost and napping• Organ missed plane for 8 hrs• No slush machine• Liver in a heart box
16
PROCESSS IMPROVEMENT
• First eliminate special causes of the variation
• Then reduce the common causes of variation
17
CROSBY
• Zero defects• Products free from error
• Unchecked variation leads to
Failure to meet customer requirements• Known as defects
18
SCALE
• If you have a million actions, you can’t afford to have even 1% error rate
• 10,000 defects• Six Sigma = 3.4
19
