2. Define Module Roadmap Define 1D – Define VOC, VOB, and CTQ’s 2D – Define Project Boundaries 3D – Quantify Project Value 4D – Develop Project Mgmt. Plan Measure 5M – Document Process 6M – Prioritize List of X’s 7M – Create Data Collection Plan 8M – Validate Measurement System 9M – Establish Baseline Process Cap. Analyze 10A – Determine Critical X’s Improve 12I – Prioritized List of Solutions 13I – Pilot Best Solution Control 14C – Create Control System 15C – Finalize Project Documentation Green 11G – Identify Root Cause Relationships
15. Potential Analysis: Examples Type of Improvement Reduce errors in processing Increase MW produced at Northside Unit 1 Cut product defects by 25% Benefit of that Improvement Less time spent fixing errors; able to speed up flow of work Decreased fuel costs Reduce scrap, less time needed to rework, lower inventory levels Quantified Estimate of Impact Yearly decrease in processing time * (salary & benefits) = COPQ savings Cost of next cheapest fuel source per MW * yearly MW increase = COPQ savings Cut material costs by 25%; increase capacity by 17% = annual COPQ savings
