  13. Deming’s Chain Reaction Return on Investment Source: W. E. Deming, Out of the Crisis, 1982

  14. How Big is the Room for Improvement ? • Six Sigma methodology • Analysis of Quality Costs Can suggest some good opportunities..!

  15. Six Sigma and Poor Quality Costs • Sigma Level and the corresponding magnitude of Poor Quality Costs: 3 Sigma 66,807 ppm 25% of Sales turnover  4 Sigma 6,210 ppm 15% of Sales turnover 5 Sigma 233 ppm 10% of Sales turnover 6 Sigma 3.4 ppm 5% of Sales turnover

  16. Firms from Six Sigma Perspective • Where are the firms with respect to Six Sigma? • 2013 Sales turnover of Firm X: abcMTL If a firm is at 4 Sigma level, the poor quality cost is: 0.15xabc Million TL

  17. Some Questions? Is there a need for additional • Investment • New capacity • Credits ? When there is such an improvement potential

  18. What is Needed? a. Layoffs b. Reduced costs c. Increased productivity d. All e. None

  19. What is Needed? • Answer can be “all” as well as “none” • Layoffs • Which functions, how many? • Cost Reduction • Where, how much? In order to find the “right” answers, we need Analysis

  20. Why “Analysis” is required? • For “Correct” diagnosis “analysis” is required. Because, • Manpower must be distributed in a fair and balanced way (not necessarily blind layoffs..!) • There must be a sound cost structure; cost adjustments (not necessarily a reduction..!) must be made in the right places in the right amounts.
