Update on Six Sigma in the Philippines – Part 1
Posted by: meikah | 28 September 2011 | 12:06 am
Last August, I attended the Six Sigma Conference 2011 at Hotel Intercontinental Manila. It has been a while since the last Six Sigma Best Practices that I attended way back in 2009.
True enough, I learned a lot of new things about Six Sigma, process improvement strategies that many Philippine-based companies have been using.
The key speaker of that conference was none other than the premier Six Sigma practitioner in the Philippines: Dan Lachica, President and CEO of First Philec Solar Corporation.
According to Lachica, Six Sigma is three things:
- A statistical measurement
- A business strategy
- A philosophy
And then he went on to offer a simplified definition of DMAIC, a breakthrough strategy:
Define – Define the project GOAL & customer (internal & external) deliverables.
Measure – Establish a deeper understanding of the problem by searching for the potential root causes.
Analyze – Analyze and determine the root causes of the problem.
Improve – Implement the best parameter settings that will solve the problem and lead to improvement.
Control – Implement control system to sustain the improvement.
Dan Lachica also believes that to achieve operational excellence, a company has to create and nurture a Six Sigma culture. And Six Sigma alone cannot do the trick. With the present challenges in the business and economy, one needs a collaboration of all relevant strategies and work them out efficiently together.
Thus, he develops the Lachica Model:
Integrate Lean, Lean Sigma, Six Sigma, BPM/MBNQA/PQA, ISO, and TQM

The Philippine Six Sigma Conference 2010
Posted by: meikah | 21 July 2010 | 12:34 am
Mark your calendars for The Philippine Six Sigma Conference 2010 on August 4-5, 2010 at the Hotel Intercontinental, Makati City, Philippines.
If you and your company is pushing for continuous improvement to address efficiency and enjoy great savings, then you must attend this conference.
I’ve attended several Six Sigma conferences before and every time I do, I learn something new. I guess we are really supposed to learn every day about making our processes work and remove bottlenecks along the way. With a floundering economy and a highly competitive business arena, companies really need to step up and make a difference.
Six Sigma in the Philippines is slowly getting on solid ground. More and more Philippine-based companies are going into Six Sigma. These companies are seeing that reducing wastes and improving processes are the way to go to achieve success
Thanks to Fiera de Manila and DigitalFilipino System and Software Process Improvement Network for sponsoring the conference.
It’s time to find out more about Six Sigma and how you can apply it to your organization. Register now!
