002_Lean Six Sigma Roadmaps (PowerPoint PPT)

Lean Six Sigma is a five phased methodology commonly known as DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control). The DMAIC frame work originated with Six Sigma; Lean by itself didn't have a frame work per se. After Lean and Six Sigma were integrated, the DMAIC frame was adopted to Lean to give waste elimination projects more rigor. This is where most Lean Six Sigma implementations stop. In this module, we extend that paradigm to include DMADV as well. Define, Measure, Analyze Design and Validate is another Six Sigma discipline that employs tools and techniques used to design new products and services that are six sigma capable. The "three disciplines" approach is the most comprehensive anywhere.

This roadmap is a lucid guide to steps of this fully integrated methodology, the tools used at each step and the intended deliverable at each step. Never again be in doubt as to what the next step of the process should be for any problem. And as an added bonus, the Shainin roadmap is introduced. This material is suitable for independent study, executive briefing or formal classroom training.
