Problem-Solving Six Sigma projects have five phases: –Define –Measure –Analyze –Improve –Control (note similarity to PDSA)
5
Problem-Solving Define –Identify the problem/project –Define the requirements –Establish the goals to be achieved
6
Problem-Solving Measure –Gather information about the current process Define and measure key process steps and inputs –Refine the problem statement and goals
7
Problem-Solving Analyze –Identify potential root causes of the problem –Validate the cause and effect relationship –Identify the vital few root causes
8
Problem-Solving Improve –Implement solution to address root causes of problem –Test solutions –Measure results
9
Problem-Solving Control –Evaluate and monitor improvements Make adjustments as needed –Establish standard procedures
10
