Visual Six Sigma: Making Data Analysis Lean

Overview This paper introduces the idea of "Visual Six Sigma," a practical and pragmatic approach to data analysis and process improvement. This approach has been developed in response to a growing business need to broaden the use of Six Sigma-type thinking beyond the realms of highly trained and statistically savvy Black Belts and Green Belts. In the typical business environment of process improvement, people are looking for simple-to-use tools that can be used by everyone at all levels to rapidly explore and interpret data, and then use that understanding to drive improvement. By making these tools highly visual and engaging, it can accelerate the process of analysis and eliminate the need for advanced statistical analysis in all but the most complex of situations.
