Lean Six Sigma DMAIC project model

Operationalization of customer requirements

The vast majority link Lean Six Sigma with the DMAIC project model (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control). It is the classic model and the original foundation of Lean Six Sigma quality and management philosophy.

DMAIC is created to solve problems and / or make improvements in existing products, services and processes. Since then, Lean Six Sigma has been developed with Design for Six Sigma (development of products, services and processes) and Business Process Management. Get an overview of Lean Six Sigma quality and management philosophy.

 

Enhance your existing products, services and processes

With the DMAIC project model, you have an effective and proven project model to solve challenges that would otherwise have been unsolvable. Whether it is driven by a complex problem or a strategic desire to streamline. DMAIC has over 20 years of proven results in all industries from manufacturing, finance, public services, health, hospital and service and others.

 

A solid foundation

DMAIC is built on quality principles and ideas that have proven to be effective from Frederik Winslow Taylor, Frank Bunker Gilbreth, Walter Shewhart, W. Edwards Deming, Joseph Juran, Eiji Toyoda & Taichi Ohno amongst others.

 

Quality tools

Lean Six Sigma DMAIC project model includes a range of recognized quality tools. Here are some of the most important ones:

VOC	Voice-Of-Customer	Mapping customer requirements
CTQ	Critical-To-Quality	Operationalization of customer requirements
CoPQ	Cost of Poor Quality	Mapping of quality costs
MSA	Measure System Analysis	Assessment of measurement systems
VSM	Value Stream Mapping	Mapping of an end-to-end process
Pareto	Pareto Analysis	See patterns in discrete data
Fishbone	Ishikawa diagram	Brainstorm connections between Causes and Effects
SIPOC	Supplier-Input-Process-Output-Customer	Understand the full picture of the process
DOE	Design of Experiments	Optimization of experiments
SPC	Statistical Process Control	Method for securing processes in control
FMEA	Failure Mode Effect Analysis	Tool for risk assesment

 

Stand alone, the tools are powerful and effective, but the strength in the DMAIC project model is not the individual tools. The strength of the DMAIC project model is the thread of reason in the analysis, the integrated management anchoring and change elements, which makes the method robust and effective.
