Understanding Feedback Types and Six Sigma: Can You Explain These in Simple Terms?

I would like to know about the following terms (in layman's language):

1) 90-Degree Feedback
2) 180-Degree Feedback
3) 270-Degree Feedback
4) 360-Degree Feedback
5) Management Information System
6) Six Sigma or Zero Defect
7) Compliance

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Better to do some research to understand the concepts rather than look for quick, short answers. You will be stuck when you start using the definitions.

Zero defects aim at reducing the defects in a process and doing the process correctly the first time itself.

Zero defects mean reaching a level of infinity sigma - which is nearly impossible. In terms of Six Sigma, zero defects would mean maximization of profitability and improvement in quality.

Understanding Feedback and Management Terms

I would like to know about the following terms in layman's language:

• 90-Degree Feedback
Feedback of the employee is taken only from one of the following: peers, managers, self-appraisal, or immediate superiors.

• 180-Degree Feedback
A '180' is an appraisal between the boss and 'self' (the person being appraised).

• 270-Degree Feedback
A '270' is an appraisal involving the boss, 'self,' and either subordinates or peers.

• 360-Degree Feedback
Performance appraisal by superiors, subordinates, peers, and self-assessment.

• Management Information System

• Six Sigma or Zero Defect

• Compliance

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Understanding Sigma and Zero Defect

The term Sigma, taken from the Greek alphabet, is used to designate the distribution about the mean of any parameter of a product, process, or procedure. In common terms, Sigma represents the capability of anything (product/procedure or process) to show how accurately it is working.

Sigma Levels and Defect Rates

The level of Sigma corresponds to the defect rate as follows:
- 3 Sigma: 99.73% quality, 66,807 defective parts per million
- 4 Sigma: 99.9937% quality, 6,210 defective parts per million
- 5 Sigma: 99.999943% quality, 233 defective parts per million
- 6 Sigma: 99.9999998% quality, 3.4 defective parts per million

In essence, when someone claims they have achieved six sigma in manufacturing bearings or delivering food to customers, they are assuring that the chance of a defective bearing or the likelihood of wrong food being delivered to a customer is only 4 cases in 1,000,000 deliveries.

Understanding "Zero Defect"

To understand "zero defect," it represents an ideal condition in which the quality percentage is 100%. In other words, there would not be a single defective bearing found over the entire plant's operation.

Understanding HR MIS Reports

HR MIS Report means Management Information System regarding employee status for a particular month. This report helps the management in decision-making regarding employees, such as identifying areas with high attrition rates and reasons for resignations. The following are the contents of the report:

• First Sheet
- Employee code
- Name of the employee
- Date of birth
- Designation
- CTC
- Address

• Second Sheet
- Salary structure

• Third Sheet
- New joiners

• Fourth Sheet
- Resigned employees

• Fifth Sheet
- Attrition rate

Hi members,

Can somebody help me with a PowerPoint format to give training to the downline on Six Sigma?

Six Sigma: We have three bifurcations in Six Sigma based on the amount of savings from the projects (Yellow, Green, Black Belt) to achieve zero defects within an organization or a process. To achieve zero defects, we can utilize numerous Six Sigma projects.
