DMAIC (Process):

6 Sigma DMAIC for process improvement (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control).

Worksheets included:

DEFINE

1. 1

   Project Charter: 6 Sigma project charter
2. 2

   SIPOC: use to determine process scope.
3. 3

   CTQ Tree: use to determine and prioritize key output variables.

MEASURE

1. 1

   Process Flow Diagram (PFD): use to document process flow. Structure and parameters can be added under each process step.
2. 2

   Ishikawa Analysis: mind map used to determine potential input variables.
3. 3

   List of Hypotheses: use to keep track of hypothesis to be tested, as well as results obtained.
4. 4

   List of Analyses / Studies: used to keep track of studies conducted to accept or reject a hypothesis.
5. 5

   Cause Effect Matrix: use to correlate key input variables and key output variables, Identifying high priority factors to be prioritized and studied. You can skip may skip the use of the cause effect matrix if the root cause has been determined by hypothesis testing.

What to Add or Combine:

Add more tools and methods as needed using Insert|New Method.
