Control Phase Wrap Up and Action Items

Control Phase Overview—The Goal The goal of the Control Phase is to: Assess the final Process Capability. Revisit Lean with an eye for sustaining the project. Evaluate methods for Defect Prevention. Explore various methods to monitor process using SPC. Implement a Control Plan. Gooooaaallllll!! Please read the slide.

Organizational Change Each “player” in the process has a role in SUSTAINING project success achieved. Accept responsibility Monitoring Responding Managing Embracing change & continuous learning Sharing best practices Potential for horizontal replication or expansion of results Please read the slide.

Control Phase—The Roadblocks Look for the potential roadblocks and plan to address them before they become problems: Lack of project sign off Team members are not involved in Control Plan design Management does not have knowledge on monitoring and reacting needs Financial benefits are not tracked and integrated into business Lack of buy in of process operators or staff There are some things that can get in your way….

Control Phase Checklist Control Questions Step One: Process Enhancement And Control Results · How do the results of the improvement(s) match the requirements of the business case and improvement goals? What are the vital few X’s? How will you control or redesign these X’s? Is ther e a process Control Plan in place? Has the Control Plan been handed off to the process owner? Step Two: Capability Analysis for X and Y Process Capability How are you monitoring the Y’s? Step Three: Standardization And Continuous Improvement How are you going to ensure that this problem does not return? Is the learning transferable across the business? What is the action plan for spreading the best practice? Is there a project documentation file? How is this referenced in process procedures and product dr awings? What is the mechanism to ensure this is not reinvented in the future? Step Four: Document what you have learned Is there an updated FMEA? Is the Control Plan fully documented and implemented? What are the financial implications? Are there any spin - off pr ojects? What lessons have you learned? General Questions Are there any issues/barriers preventing the completion of the project? Do the Champion, the Belt and Finance all a gree that this project is complete? Please read the slide.

Planning for Action WHAT WHO WHEN WHY WHY NOT HOW Test validation plan for a specific time   Calculate benefits for breakthrough Implement change across project team Process map of improved process Finalize Key Input Variables (KPIV) to meet goal Prioritize risks of output failure Control plan for output Control plan for inputs Chart a plan to accomplish the desired state of the culture Mistake proofing plan for inputs or outputs Implementation plan for effective procedures Knowledge transfer between Belt, PO and team members Knowledge sharing between businesses and divisions Lean project control plan Please read the slide. Establish continuous or attribute metrics for Cpk   Identify actual versus apparent Cpk Finalize problem solving strategy Complete RPN assessment with revised frequency and controls Show improvement in RPN through action items Repeat same process for secondary metrics

Have started to develop a Project Plan to meet the deliverables Summary At this point, you should: Have a clear understanding of the specific deliverables to complete your project Have started to develop a Project Plan to meet the deliverables Have identified ways to deal with potential roadblocks Be ready to apply the Six Sigma method on your NEXT project Please read the slide.
