Abstract: Abstract This chapter begins with the first phase of Six Sigma project. The project charter, problem statement, and goal statement are some of the essential characteristics of a Six Sigma project. The definition of SIPOC model and preparing high-level process mapping are presented here. The team roles and responsibilities, the process of managing a team, and various planning tools are discussed in length. The importance of Gantt charts, affinity diagram, process map, and flowchart are also mentioned in this chapter. One of the important techniques for documenting overall design logic is quality function deployment (QFD), which is a method for translating customer requirements into an appropriate company program and technical requirements at each phase of the product realization cycle.
