Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for monitoring quality in product and/or service associated projects by the application of improvement in Six Sigma methodology. The method involves accepting as input values associated with a product and/or service to be improved, subsequent to the completion of the project. Then, the values associated with the product or service to be improved are measured over a timeframe having a plurality of time segments, such that each value corresponds to one among the plurality of time segments. Subsequently, a set of values among the plurality of values are determined, corresponding to the plurality of time segments, which correspond to a predefined criterion. By applying predefined comparison criterion, a resultant parameter, whose variation indicates level of quality, is obtained. An output representing the resultant parameter is obtained in the form of a Capability Measurement Diagram and a Moving Loss table.

Abstract: Six Sigma is practiced as a methodology of process improvement to achieve business excellence by Companies all over the world today. The inventor Mr. Mahesh Chinnagiri addresses the present fallacy during Six Sigma implementation namely; Method of calculating “Sigma Level”/“Sigma Rating” for any project at any given point of time to monitor performance. There are two methods namely “The Discrete Method” and “The Continuous Method” for calculating the performance in terms of the Sigma Level at any given point of time for a Six Sigma project. The inventor has found out that fallacy exists in the “Continuous Method” of calculation. The inventor after finding out the fallacy in the present method used all over the world, has invented the “Capability Measurement Diagram” and “Moving Loss” method and built them into his “Capability Measurement Software” which can be used to monitor the progress of Six Sigma/other projects during implementation to overcome the above fallacy.
