Lean Six Sigma Bursts: E140: Applying Six Sigma’s IPO (Inputs Process Outputs) to your Personal Life

In this episode, I discuss an important concept in Six Sigma:

Y = f(x) or Y is a function of x.

Y is your measured output, and X represents the inputs to your process, and the function represents the process and how the X factors relate or impact the Y.

Another way to state it is Inputs (X), Processes (Function) and Outputs (Y) or IPO.

I explain how this concept can be used when thinking through your own personal improvement journey. What are your inputs, processes and outputs.

If you don't like how one of the outputs is performing (relationships, weight, health, income, etc), then what processes and inputs need to change.
