MEASURE 4 – Technical Requirements Translate into technical requirements

MEASURE 5 – Objectives Establish objectives

MEASURE 6 – Measurement Procedures Evaluate measurement system

Self Assessment LSSA Assessor Feedback MEASURE Assessment Self Assessment LSSA Assessor Feedback   Missing Incorrect Correct N/A Measure 1 Data has been collected / selected properly. 2 The collected data has been proven to be representative for the project. 3 Validity of the data has been verified in an appropriate way (Gage R&R if applicable). 4 Historical data has been used to visualize process stability and performance over time. 5 Variation in the process has been considered (common cause or special cause). 6 Short term versus long term performance has been considered. 7 Performance against requirements has been checked.   Missing Incorrect Correct N/A Measure 1 Data has been collected / selected properly. 2 The collected data has been proven to be representative for the project. 3 Validity of the data has been verified in an appropriate way (Gage R&R if applicable). 4 Historical data has been used to visualize process stability and performance over time. 5 Variation in the process has been considered (common cause or special cause). 6 Short term versus long term performance has been considered. 7 Performance against requirements has been checked.

ANALYZE 7 – Concept Design Develop Concept Design

ANALYZE 8 – Potential influence factors Identify potential influence factors

ANALYZE 9 – Develop Y=f(X) function

Self Assessment LSSA Assessor Feedback ANALYZE Assessment Self Assessment LSSA Assessor Feedback   Missing Incorrect Correct N/A Analyze 1 Process has been mapped in detail (e.g. Process Flow / VSM Current State). 2 Potential factors of influence have been determined. 3 Cause & Effect / FMEA have been used to identify factors with highest influence. 4 Hypothesis for root cause has been defined properly. 5 Input data has been collected and analyzed correctly. 6 Graphical and statistical techniques have been applied to investigate root causes. 7 Major root causes have been identified. 8 Conclusions have demonstrated strong evidence / statistically valid.   Missing Incorrect Correct N/A Analyze 1 Process has been mapped in detail (e.g. Process Flow / VSM Current State). 2 Potential factors of influence have been determined. 3 Cause & Effect / FMEA have been used to identify factors with highest influence. 4 Hypothesis for root cause has been defined properly. 5 Input data has been collected and analyzed correctly. 6 Graphical and statistical techniques have been applied to investigate root causes. 7 Major root causes have been identified. 8 Conclusions have demonstrated strong evidence / statistically valid.

Design 10 – Optimum Design Determine Optimum Design

Design 11 – Prototyping / Concept Create prototype / concept

Design 12 – Design Validation Plan Make a design validation plan
