This PPT slide, part of the 182-slide Six Sigma - DMAIC Problem Solving Process & Tools PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured worksheet designed for the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) problem-solving process, specifically focusing on the issue of leaks in red felt tip markers. It is organized into several key sections that guide users through identifying and analyzing the problem.
The first part, labeled "Problem Statement," prompts users to articulate the core issue, which is to identify what is wrong with the product. Following this, the worksheet encourages a detailed examination of the problem by addressing several critical questions: What is the object? Where is the defect located? When was the defect first observed? How significant is the defect?
Under the "What?" section, the object is identified as a red felt tip marker, with the defect being leaks. The "Where?" section asks for specifics about the defect's location, suggesting that it may occur at the tip or barrel of the marker. The "When?" section highlights the timeline of the defect's occurrence, indicating it was first seen 2 weeks ago. The "How Big?" section prompts users to quantify the extent of the issue, which is noted as affecting all red felt tip markers.
The slide also includes sections for distinguishing what the issue is not, changes that have occurred, and testing for root causes. This structured approach not only helps in identifying the problem, but also in understanding its context and potential solutions. The worksheet is a practical tool for teams aiming to apply Six Sigma methodologies effectively, ensuring a thorough analysis of the defect and guiding them toward actionable insights.
This slide is part of the Six Sigma - DMAIC Problem Solving Process & Tools PowerPoint presentation.
