Revised Sampling Plan - Overview | ||||||||
Cost Data Integrity Project | ||||||||
Initial Sampling | ||||||||
The entire portfolio of IT projects were sampled together resulting in some unusual frequency distributions | ||||||||
as noted in the Histograms. It was determined that each IT project is unique and the defect or error rates | ||||||||
on one project may be considerably different on another project. Therefore, samples on a project by project | ||||||||
basis will be conducted going forward. | ||||||||
The Core Team discussed their results with the IT Governance members (some of which are Six Sigma Black | ||||||||
Belts) and they suggested that those projects with "material costs" involved should be sampled on a | ||||||||
continous basis until you can arrive at useful data for control purposes. XmR Charts were recommended by | ||||||||
the Governance Board. Additionally, the Governance Board agreed with the Core Team to focus on two | ||||||||
critical processes within the Project Management System (PMS): | ||||||||
Critical Defect No. 1 - Vendor Invoices posted to PMS in a timely manner | ||||||||
Critical Defect No. 2 - Timesheets posted to PMS in a timely manner | ||||||||
Projects to be Sampled | ||||||||
The portfolio of developmental IT projects consists of: | ||||||||

Based on a review of the actual costs incurred, four projects are driving most of the IT portfolio costs. Conduct | ||||||||
sampling of these four projects going forward. | ||||||||
Sample Plan | ||||||||
Follow the same type steps and procedures as the initial sample. The time frame for sampling may need to | ||||||||
extend into next year 2008 since the sample size taken in 2007 may not be sufficient. | ||||||||
Statistical Process Control | ||||||||
Use eight XmR Charts to track and control process performance: | ||||||||
XmR Chart | Critical | Project | % of Jan 07 | |||||
Number | Defect | (last 4 #'s) | Costs | |||||
1 | 1 - Invoices | QC02 | 17% | |||||
2 | 1 - Invoices | LB02 | 27% | Sample covers 76% of vendor costs | ||||
3 | 1 - Invoices | VM01 | 18% | |||||
4 | 1 - Invoices | GS02 | 14% | |||||
5 | 2 - Timesheets | QC02 | 42% | |||||
6 | 2 - Timesheets | LB02 | 6% | Sample covers 67% of labor costs | ||||
7 | 2 - Timesheets | VM01 | 8% | |||||
8 | 2 - Timesheets | GS02 | 11% |
