Sigma Savvy Showdown 

" Precision in every step, excellence in every result "

Unlocking Excellence: A Journey into Six Sigma Mastery – Join us for a transformative event dedicated to the art and science of process perfection. Elevate your understanding, empower your team, and embrace a culture of continuous improvement. Let's shape the future of efficiency together!

Round 1 (Online): 

Participants in this intriguing round will be required to gather consumer feedback for a problem statement, assemble the suggestions, and create a VOC chart. The topics are mentioned below. Participants should collect the customer feedback about the product given and present the VOC in the specified format during the date of the event.

​

Round 2 (Offline):

Teams will compete in a game-show-style round, testing their knowledge across DMAIC stages, statistical tools, and Lean principles. From defining project scopes to identifying statistical outliers, participants will engage in a thrilling race to showcase their expertise.

​

Round 3 (Offline):

Based on the VOC a case study will be given on-spot. Participants should use different six sigma tools to analyse the problem and arrive at the solution.

The winning team will be the one who executes the concept the best.

RULES

  • The team must consist of 1 - 4 members. Intercollegiate teams are allowed (except for students of PSG CT).

  • The contents displayed in both the rounds should be related to Six Sigma.

  • Participants should submit the VOC Document before the specified deadline and upload it in the google forms provided after registration through mail.  

  • The abstract document and the mail should clearly mention the names and registration numbers of all the participants.

  • If shortlisted, participants are requested to bring their own LAPTOPS for the finale.

  • The decision of panel members is final. No further appeal will be entertained.
