Six Sigma Project Charter Template
Hello readers! Today we will discuss on a specific topic, which is related to the Six Sigma project charter. How effectively you can prepare the Six Sigma project charter so that each and everything will be in a single template for making the decision on the project for approval and next further project work. There are several methodologies and tools used in Six Sigma projects, but the popular methodologies are DMAIC and DMADV and similarly, so many tools are used in the project as well. We have already published the main important topic covering DMAIC Tools and some six sigma project examples in manufacturing industries. I hope both topics will be very helpful before preparing the Project charter. So, let’s read these topics first and then prepare the project charter. Without wasting your time you can download the Six Sigma Project Charter Template from the below-given link.

Before preparing the Six Sigma project charter you have to understand the methodology, project types, and 6-sigma belts, which will help you to make your project successful. The popular 6-sigma bets are yellow, green, black, and master black belts, and similarly, the Six-sigma project, lean Six-sigma, and design of Six-sigma project generally followed the different and different types of methodology like, DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve & Control), DMADV (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design and Validate).
Once you list out the problem set, you can start preparing the Six Sigma project charter to represent the project details and for getting approval. First of all, keep the past data of a minimum of 3 months, or for better results, you can consider 18 months of past data for representing the problem statement, problem/defects contribution, DPMO /DPPM calculation, and also for sigma level calculation.
Step by Step guide of Project Charter preparation with Manufacturing Example:
Let’s consider a company manufacturing a part PT-1 at process PRS-1. The rejection quantity of that part PT-1 is 2347 and the production quantity is 76000. The number of opportunities per unit is 5.
First of all, we are going to calculate the DPMO.
DPMO = Total Rejection quantities x 1000000/ (Total units x opportunities per unit)
= 2347 x 1000000/ (76000 x5)
= 6176
Now, I am going to prepare the Six Sigma project charter.
Project title: Reduction of rejection DPMO from 2347 to 25 (target is 98.9% reduction)
Problem Statement:
What: High rejection of part PT-1 of DPMO 2347
Where: At process PRS-1
When: During manufacturing of part PT-1.
Who: Machine workforce.
Why: Reason unknown
How often: Monthly
How much: DPMO 2347 per month.
Project goal: 98% reduction of monthly DPMO
Scope: Included Process PRS-1
Tangible Benefits: 60 lakhs/ Annum cost saving.
What are the key elements of a charter?
As you can see in the above project charter sample template, we have already highlighted the key elements of the Six Sigma project charter in yellow colour and these are the list below as;
- Problem statement.
- Project goals
- Scope of the project
- Estimated benefits/business case
- Project plan. Etc.
What is the purpose of the project charter?
The main purpose of the project charter is to write down the key elements of the project and to get approval from the approver. And from time to time you have to update the Project plan status as well. It’s a synopsis of your Six Sigma project.
