The 5 Phase Method that undelies
Lean six Sigma Methodology
Define, Meaure, Analyse, Improve, Control
What is Lean Six Sigma?
Lean Six Sigma is a methodology to approach and solve a problem.
It is a system of management that results in a steady pulping of
projects that are ready for improvement.
It consists of 5 Phases, aka DMAIC (“DUH-MAY-IK”).
Lean Six Sigma provides guidelines to help you select the right projects
at the right time.
Once projects are selected, improvement team use DMAIC to refine
projects and deliver quantifiable, sustianable results.
Why DMAIC?
DMAIC is a method for root cause analysis.
DMAIC should be used when:
- there is a problem and the root cause is unknow;
- the stakes are high and we need to be absolutely sure the solution
fixes the problem;
- a problem exists, solutions have been tried, but the root cause is
still unknown.
Selecting the Right Projects?
Before beginning a Lean Six igma process Improvement Project,
choose projects that are good candidates for improvement.
A good Project for improvement:
- has an obvious problem within the process;
- has the potential to reult in increased revenue, reduced cost or
improved efficency;
- has collectable data
DMAIC Methodology
DMAIC is the Six Sigma Methodology
to conduct Root Cause Analysis.
Define
Measure
Analyse
Improve
Control
Define
It is the first phase of the DMAIC Process .
The Define phase consists of defining the problem, the goal, the process
and the Customer
MAIN TOOLS USED
- Project Charter
- Voice of Customer
- SIPOC
Measure
In the Measure phase the Team focuses on data colletion, which
takes time and effort.
-Select Measures
-Data Collection Planning
-Operational Definitions
-Baseline Data
MAIN TOOLS USED
Analyse
In the Analyse phase the Team reviews data collected during the Measure
phase. The goal is to narrow down and verify root causes of waste and
defect.
MAIN TOOLS USED
- Process Analysis
- Brainstorm Root Causes
- Pareto Charts
- Develop Hypothesis
Improve
In the Improve phase the Team moves on to solution development.
MAIN TOOLS USED
-Create Flow
-Poka Yoke
-Visual Management
- 5S
Control
The Control phase the Team focuses on how to sustain newly
achieved improvements by passing it on to other employees
-Monitoring & Response Plan
-Process Control Plan
-Documentation
-Storyboard
