Abstract: The research work aims to develop a road map for analysis phase during Six Sigma implementation in Rajiv Gandhi Thermal Power Plant located at Hisar (Haryana, India). Six Sigma is a methodology for pursuing continuous improvement in customer satisfaction and profit that goes beyond defect reduction and emphasises business process improvement in general. The central idea of the Six Sigma is to design new processes or to improve the existing processes and to get better process capability. The black and green belts provide a proper way of implementing five phases of Six Sigma; the define-measure-analysis-improve-control (DMAIC) method. The paper proposes a complete road map that classifies the analytical tools with respect to present constraints and working conditions of production environment and seems to be very much effective in right selection of right tools.
