Lean Six Sigma DMAIC Storyboard Template (PowerPoint PPTX)

The Lean Six Sigma (LSS) DMAIC methodology is a structured problem-solving approach consisting of five steps: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control.

•  Define: Establish the problem statement, project scope, objective statement, and project team.
•  Measure: Collect and verify data to measure the current performance and capability of the process.
•  Analyze: Identify the root causes of the problem using tools such as cause-and-effect analysis and statistical analysis.
•  Improve: Implement potential solutions and evaluate their effectiveness.
•  Control: Standardize the solution and monitor performance to ensure sustained improvement.

Adopting an LSS DMAIC storyboard template offers several benefits to the improvement process:

1. Structured Approach: Ensures all necessary steps are taken, reducing the risk of overlooking critical issues.
2. Consistent Problem-Solving: Helps the project team stay focused on the problem and objectives throughout the process.
3. Enhanced Communication: Improves collaboration among team members by providing a common language and understanding of the process.
4. Time Efficiency: Saves time and reduces errors by providing a clear roadmap with defined deliverables and expectations for each phase.

POWERPOINT TEMPLATE OVERVIEW:

Our PowerPoint template is designed to help your project team compile a comprehensive report or storyboard for Green/Black Belt toll-gate reviews or stakeholder briefings based on the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC methodology.

•  Guidelines: Each slide includes headlines or guidelines on what content to insert, making it easy to follow.
•  Visuals: Images, diagrams, and charts are provided to quickly illustrate what is required under each phase of the DMAIC process.
•  Deliverables List: Each phase includes a list of deliverables to guide you on what to include in the report or storyboard.

Note: This template focuses on providing a structured framework and visual aids for reporting and presenting your DMAIC project. It does not include tools for creating visual representations. Users are encouraged to utilize existing resources within their organizations, such as Minitab, SigmaXL, Microsoft Visio, SmartDraw, and other available tools, for these purposes.

By using this template, you can ensure a thorough and effective presentation of your Lean Six Sigma project, streamlining the process and enhancing clarity and impact for all stakeholders.

The five steps of LSS DMAIC are:

Step 1: DEFINE – Define the problem or opportunity.
Define Phase Deliverables:
1.1 Define business case
1.2 Define problem statement
1.3 Establish baseline project metrics
1.4 Define objective statement and scope
1.5 Form project team
1.6 Identify financial impact
1.7 Complete project charter
1.8 Approved project charter

Step 2: MEASURE – Measure the current performance and capability.
Measure Phase Deliverables:
2.1 Map the process
2.2 Collect process data
2.3 Verify data integrity
2.4 Document process behavior
2.5 Baseline process capability (Sigma level or DPMO)
2.6 Quick wins
2.7 List of potential X's

Step 3: ANALYZE – Analyze to identify root causes.
Analyze Phase Deliverables:
3.1 Cause and effect analysis
3.2 FMEA
3.3 Graphical analysis
3.4 Statistical analysis

Step 4: IMPROVE – Improve by implementing potential solutions.
Improve Phase Deliverables:
4.1 Generate solutions
4.2 Evaluate solutions
4.3 Pilot and implement solutions
4.4 Statement of Y = f(X)

Step 5: CONTROL – Control by standardizing solution and monitoring performance.
Control Phase Deliverables:
