Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of Six Sigma and Shainin RedX® methodology and to propose the modification of Six Sigma methodology in order to achieve the improved efficiency of DMAIC in the diagnostic journey using some of the approaches of Shainin RedX® methodology. Methodology/Approach: The diagnostic journey of Six Sigma has been revised by bringing key elements of Shainin RedX® methodology into DMAIC: task domain character of the method, focus on the dominant root-cause, use of the progressive elimination method and the application of a problem-solving strategy. Findings: This paper presents a proposal of DMAIC framework modification using selected tools and procedures of Shainin RedX® methodology in the diagnostic phase. Research Limitation/implication: Although the improved methodology is used in the environment of the automotive supplier, in this paper, practical examples are not included in order not to violate the licensing rules applied by Shainin LLC. Originality/Value of paper: The contribution of this article is the proposal of modified methodology, which should improve the effectiveness of problem-solving.
