Basic Lean Tools and Techniques

Define

Describe the significance of the Define Phase 

Identify a Six Sigma project 

Describe the sources for Six Sigma project ideas

• VOC
• VOB
• VOE
• VOP
• COPQ

Describe the issues to be considered while selecting a project. 

Create a Project Charter

• Project Definition
• Team Selection
  • Conflict Resolution
• Financial Considerations  

MEASURE

• Define the performance standards for ‘y’ selected in Define phase
• Define defects and opportunity for your project
• Validate the measurement system using Gage R&R
• Characterize the baseline data using mean and standard deviation
• Establish Baseline

ANALYSE

• Identify causes using FMEA and Hypothesis testing.
• Determine when it is appropriate to use specific tools in hypothesis testing. These tools include:
• Perform hypothesis testing for a continuous Y and discrete X.
  • Determine process stability with run charts and other tools.
  • Determine the data shape with the already learnt graphical tools.
  • Select and use the appropriate tool to determine the p-value. 
• Perform hypothesis testing for a discrete Y and discrete X.
  • Use chi-square testing to determine whether or not to accept the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis.

IMPROVE

• Propose a solution for project y through mathematical model or otherwise
• Optimize the process
• Confirm that the solution proposed meets the improvement goal 
• Identify resources required for full-scale implementation
• Execute and standardize the process, provide training and documentation to the involved personnel
• Design of Experiments (DOE)
• Other Methods
  • Brainstorming
  • Creative Thinking
  • Benchmarking
  • Alternate Selection Matrix
• Basic Tools
  • Mistake Proofing
  • Visual Standards
  • Cause and Effect
  • Process map
  • Regression
  • Any of the tools, which can be applied to the project for improvement.

CONTROL

• Do Mistake-proofing and develop Visual Standards for process control
• Create Control charts
• Develop a Control Plan
• Review the Six Sigma- DMAIC process to check if there is any reason for failure of the project
• Project closure and handover
