Jumpstart
• Jumpstart is a quick and focused project that is designed to deliver
significant results within a short period of time. The goal of a
Jumpstart is to demonstrate the potential benefits of Six Sigma
methodologies and to build momentum for further improvement
efforts. Do not use Jumpstart for sweeping changes or attempt to
improve processes that could seriously impact the bottom line.
• One example of a Jumpstart in Six Sigma is a project to reduce the
time it takes to process customer orders in a call center. The team
might begin by analyzing the current process and identifying areas of
waste and inefficiency. They might then implement quick and simple
changes, such as eliminating unnecessary steps, streamlining the
workflow, and improving communication between team members.
