1. Control Phase Wrap Up and Action Items

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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….
Breakthrough!!

7. 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 there 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 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 drawings?
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 projects?
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 agree this project is complete?
Please read the slide.

8. 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

9. At this point you should:
Summary
At this point you should:
Have a clear understanding of the specific deliverables to complete your project
