DMAIC PDF DESCRIPTION

This product (Lean Six Sigma DMAIC Poster) is a 3-page PDF document with a supplemental PowerPoint document, which you can download immediately upon purchase.

Lean Six Sigma combines the two most important improvement trends of our time: making work better (using Six Sigma) and making work faster (using Lean principles). Presented in a systematic DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) approach, this powerful and proven methodology can be applied to improve your workplace, meet your goals, and better serve your customers. Lean Six Sigma DMAIC helps companies flourish in a new world where customers expect high quality and fast delivery at minimal cost.

As an improvement method, Lean Six Sigma DMAIC uses data to identify and eliminate process problems. As an improvement engine, it establishes a whole new set of roles and procedures inside an organization that work to continuously generate results.

The Lean Six Sigma DMAIC Poster describes the five key phases of process improvement based on the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC methodology. As a quick reference guide to the step by step DMAIC phases and deliverables, it is a useful tool for Green and/or Black Belts who are managing and documenting their projects for certification.

The poster is available in two distinct themes: a vibrant color scheme and a professional monochrome version. In both formats, the poster comes in a convenient PDF as well as an editable PPTX format, enabling effortless printing on A3/A4-sized paper from standard office copier machines. This versatile resource can be prominently displayed on employee workstations or distributed alongside your training materials.

In addition, the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC Poster supplements your Lean Six Sigma Green/Black Belt training presentation materials. It serves as a takeaway and summary of your process improvement presentation.
