Dmaic template checklist
A dmaic template can help ensure that six sigma practitioners apply the dmaic methodology (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) as a root-cause analysis for process improvements. start by defining the project goals and listing customer deliverables. next, measure the current performance of the process to quantify the problem. analyze until the root cause has been identified and improve the design, system, and::Or process with assessed and re-evaluated solutions. finally, specify the monitoring and control system in place and complete the dmaic with your digital signature.
What does this form include?
This form contains 16 sections:
What are the project goals?
List customer (internal and external) deliverables
Measure
- Is there a data collection plan developed to quantify the problem?
- Is the current performance of the process determined through benchmarking?
Problem statement
What are the performance objectives?
Identify value/non-value added process steps
Specify the sources of variation
Describe the few vital inputs in relation to the output
Root cause of the problem
Potential solutions
Improve
- Are operating tolerances of the potential system well-defined?
- Were design experiments performed?
- Were potential improvements validated through pilot studies?
- Were potential solutions assessed and re-evaluated?
What is the monitoring and control system in place?
Control
- Was the statistical process control implemented?
Transfer plan (handoff to process owner)
