Measure Phase Welcome to Measure Now that we have completed Define we are going to jump into the Measure Phase. Here you enter the world of measurement, where you can discover the ultimate source of problem-solving power: data. Process improvement is all about narrowing down to the vital few factors that influence the behavior of a system or a process. The only way to do this is to measure and observe your process characteristics and your critical-to-quality characteristics. Measurement is generally the most difficult and time-consuming phase in the DMAIC methodology. But if you do it well, and right the first time, you will save your self a lot of trouble later and maximize your chance of improvement. Welcome to the Measure Phase - will give you a brief look at the topics we are going to cover.

Welcome to Measure Phase Wrap Up & Action Items Process Capability Measurement System Analysis Six Sigma Statistics Process Discovery Welcome to Measure These are the modules we will cover in the Measure Phase.

DMAIC Roadmap Identify Problem Area Assess Stability, Capability, and Measurement Systems Identify and Prioritize All X’s Prove/Disprove Impact X’s Have On Problem Identify, Prioritize, Select Solutions Control or Eliminate X’s Causing Problems Implement Solutions to Control or Eliminate X’s Causing Problems Implement Control Plan to Ensure Problem Doesn’t Return Verify Financial Impact Determine Appropriate Project Focus Estimate COPQ Establish Team Champion/ Process Owner Define Measure Analyze Improve Control Here is the overview of the DMAIC process. Within measure we are going to start getting into details about process performance, measurement systems and variable prioritization.

Measure Deployment Detailed Problem Statement Determined Assess Measurement System Implement Changes to Make System Acceptable Detailed Process Mapping Identify All Process X’s Causing Problems (Fishbone, Process Map) Select the Vital Few X’s Causing Problems (X-Y Matrix, FMEA) Assess Stability (Statistical Control) Assess Capability (Problem with Centering/Spread) Estimate Process Sigma Level Ready for Analyze Repeatable & Reproducible? N Y Review Progress with Champion This provides a process look at putting “Measure” to work. By the time we complete this phase you will have a thorough understanding of the various Measure Phase concepts.
