Comment Section for DMAIC - The 5 Phases of Lean Six Sigma - GoLeanSixSigma.com (GLSS)

This webpage from GoLeanSixSigma.com provides an in-depth explanation of the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) method, a problem-solving approach that drives Lean Six Sigma. The five-phase method aims to improve existing process problems with unknown causes. Before applying DMAIC, the article suggests selecting a suitable project that presents an obvious problem within an existing process, is meaningful but manageable, has potential to reduce lead time or defects resulting in cost savings or improved productivity, and allows for data collection for measurable improvement. Each phase is briefly explained: 1. Define: This phase involves identifying the problem, drafting a Project Charter, and understanding the needs of the process customers. 2. Measure: Here, the performance of the current process is evaluated, and key indicators of process health are determined. 3. Analyze: This stage focuses on understanding the root causes of process issues before jumping to solutions. 4. Improve: In this phase, the team implements plans to resolve the root causes identified, ensuring there is measurable improvement. 5. Control: The final phase aims to sustain the improvement by maintaining gains and updating best practices. The website also offers Green Belt Training & Certification to learn and apply Lean Six Sigma for improving processes.
