Ｔhe Ｐrogram for ゛People Out゛:
Many Japanese companies still maintain a comparatively
high level of their technology and the potentiality in their
human resources. A company with its top management
that maintains clear policies and challenging objectives can
generate profit, by
trusting its employees．
The ideal approach to " Six Sigma of Japanese Version" is to
create an organization
which is capable to identify issues to be solved and carry
out them by integrating "knowledge " from both management
and employees
" People Out ", as demonstrated by Mr.Jack Weltch at General
Electric,in implementing the Six Sigma, denies both of
Ａmerican typed identical organization,゛Ｍ０-type゛and
Japanese typed identical
organization,゛Ｍ１-type゛．Ｂecause, he knew the limitation
of the conventional way of instructing that is typical to
゛Ｍ０－type organization゛,and the official stance and
harmony that is emphasized in ゛Ｍ１-typeorganization゛.
" People Out",on the other hand, ｐromotes an
orgnization,゛Ｍ-５type゛that value semployees' initiative
and their knowledge for solving problems without being
told, by maintaining a concept that people are the most
valuable assets of the company.
In Japan, however, it is extremely difficult to leave
゛Ｍ－1 type organizations behind, because it used to be a
source of strength of the Japanese companies. Ｔo
successfully implement Six Sigma of Japanese Version, it
will be absolutely necessary to come up with a system that
will enable a company to become competitive in the
comprehensive organizational strength, while understanding
the essence of traditio-nal corporate cultures.
The Six sigma of Japanese Version values the program for
"People Out",because the changes in cultural and human
appects at many Japanese companies are indispensable to
accomplish the foregoing transformation.

Ｔhe Ｐrogram for Work Out:
The next issue involves the strength that an "Ｍ-５ Type
Organization"needs to possess for solving problems. In other
words, the organization must have a concrete "weapon" that
can integrate "knowledge" and can clearly identify issues to
be tackled for speedy and effective solutions. These are the
essence of "Work Out."
Regarding the Work-Out program, the Six Sigma originated in
the U.S.A.consists of five steps for problem solving under
ＤＭＡＩＣ (Ｄ for Ｄefinition, Ｍ for Ｍeasure, Ａ for
Ａnalysis, Ｉ for Ｉmprovement,and Ｃ for Ｃontrol). These
steps are to indntify the issues, to grasp the problems
quantitatively, to analyze and improve them, and to maintain
and control achievements. Effective quality－controling
methods, statistical techniques and other instruments are
provided for respective steps. Ｔhis program is considered
a compulsory one for "Black-Belter "training.
In promoting a project that has many difficult items to be
overcome,Japanese companies often ｈave troubles with the
discrepancy in value systems and problem-awareness among
project members, as well as the conflict of interest and
instruction routes. A well－prepared " WorkOut" program
must be offered to solve the foregoing problem. In this
regard, the Six Sigma of Japanese Version embodies and
systematizes "Six-Sigma Tools" - "Ｍ５ Type Problem-Solving
Technology", based on "Information-Hanndling Technology as
a Semi-Exact Science" and " W TypeFlow of Ｓolving
Accumulated Problems."
"Ｍ－５ Type Problem-Solving Technology", by replacing
"DMAIC",includ-es the following seven steps or scenes to
solve each problem in orderbefore proceeding to the next
step or scene:
1. Round for identifying problems
2. Round for grasping the current situation
3. Round for studying concrete measures
4. Round for identifying issues
5. Round for selecting optimum measures
6. Round for countermeasuring risks
7. Round for making plans for implementation
Ｍ５ Type Problem－Solving Technology attaches much
importance to sharing the same concept about problems
between management and projectmembers toward a Six-Sigma
project as an essential management issue,and to accurately
conceptualizing the issues for realizing the Six-sigma
project, and to establishing an effective organization for
solving the issue speedily without fail."Ｍ５ type
Problem-solving Technology" values these three steps, and
provides concrete Six-Sigma tools.
