The Lean Six Sigma DMAIC Poster describes the five key phases of process improvement based on the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC methodology.

The poster comes in two themes: color and monochrome. Formatted in PDF and in editable PPTX, the poster can be easily printed on an A3-sized paper from an office copier machine and displayed on employee workstations, or distributed together with your workshop handouts.

The LSS DMAIC Poster complements your Lean Six Sigma Green/Black Belt training presentation materials. It serves as a takeaway and summary of your process improvement presentation.
