SUCCESS STORIES

MINING PROJECT

Project scenario
  • Project Industry: Coal mine & thermal power plant
  • There are several Heavy Equipment Moving Machinery to transport coal from mines to thermal power plant.
  • Company had allotted daily diesel consumption of 13200 ltrs & limit was 13860ltrs. (5% over)
  • But currently we were consuming 15% more to that against allotted quantity leading to higher production cost & loss in profit margin which is approx. INR 3.72million monthly.

Goal Statement
Project goal is to reduce daily average diesel consumption from 15% excess to 5% excess (13860 liters) of sanctioned quantity by Sept 2020.

High Impact | In Control Root cause
  • HEMM Maintenance to be improved
  • Operator training (VTC%) needs to be vigorous

Project Impact
  • Quantitative – Monthly saving 53,17,740
  • Qualitative – Better compliance with environmental regulation + Improved brand value in the market.
  • Total investment – 47,40,000

Actions taken
  • Source for identifying our project: Voice of Business (VOB)
  • Tool used for identifying our project: Brainstorming
  • We have used the DMAIC methodology here because the solution to our problem is unknown.
  • Then we started our journey of project execution by doing the SIPOC.
  • In SIPOC we identified our supplier & Customer.
  • We did brainstorming to identify possible causes that was leading to increased daily diesel consumption of HEMM.
  • We prioritize our possible root causes & collected the data.
  • We measured & validated our baseline output data of diesel consumption with Normality, Stability & Capability test.
  • Later we did hypothesis testing on all In Control & High Impact input data.
  • We found HEMM maintenance & Operator training are actual root causes for our problem.
  • We improved HEMM maintenance & Operator training % by generating solutions through brainstorming.
  • During brainstorming we found that rigorous maintenance schedule & advanced training needed to be done.
  • Later we did the pilot after implementing these solution & confirmed using the Paired T test that we had bought about an improvement. We went for full scale implementation
  • To sustain the project outcome, we developed the HEMM maintenance schedule, Operator training checklist & A3 sheet.
  • At last we did cost benefit analysis & handover the project to process owner.

Key learnings
  • The most important learning we got from this project execution is “Thinking the Six Sigma way”
  • We learned How to solve the problem step by step by using DMAIC methodology.
  • We learned a lot about importance of team work, resource utilization, project planning for completion within allotted time.
  • We learned that actual root causes are different than we think it is.
  • We learned financial gain calculation & project execution.

PLACEMENT PROJECT

College Placement is considered to be one of the most important tools for the selection of colleges in India. It is a significant measure of success since the students’ ultimate goal is to leverage their college degree into a rewarding, lifelong career. Thus, our team decided to take up the “Improvement of Campus Placement Rate” as our project for Six Sigma.

The Business Case for our project: The college chosen for the project, deals with more than 5000 intakes every year. The placement department handles the placements for these students every year. But there has been a decline in the placement rate which affects the college reputation and thus affects the admission rate/ no. of intakes which causes both qualitative and quantitative loss for the institution.

The goal was to increase the placement rate to around 95% by the end of the next academic year (2020-21). At the end of the project, we saw a significant improvement in the campus placement, and most importantly, we were able to plan out a better placement process that can be continuously improved as well as sustained for the coming years.

Our main focus in the project was to use the voice/requirements of the organization as well as the customer i.e. students so that the process can be improved quickly.

Hence, after many brainstorming sessions as well as fishbone analysis, we were able to get the main areas under the whole process, which requires improvement. But the backing of data was needed as well. Hence, we collected data for the past 5 years, did the analysis on them using various analytical tools and software, and hence, derived key problems that had to be taken care of.

Thus, to assess this, we again went to the organization as well as the students to sort out which were the key problems as per their point of view. After all these processes, we prepared a control plan in which we tried to find out the solution to these problems which were acceptable to both students as well as the organization.

Now, the aim was to see whether the control plan can improve and sustain the process or not. Hence, after the next placement procedure, we did a cost-benefit analysis which proved that our project was successful and our goal was achieved.

People who gave rating here 5, is just because of good interaction with trainees. They will ask and force you to put... the ratings when your course gets completed because after leaving the institute,trainees may give less rating.Training level not up to the mark. Trainer won't be sharing his project that he carried out .you won't be gaining much knowledge. People who gave here rating won't be knowing anything .actual fact. They only using their marketing skills to earn money . That's it.For example, read all reviews here. They will be mentioning these words 'had a good time''One of the best institute' as if they took training from institutes.read more
