Module 4: Analyze Phase
Advanced Root Cause Analysis Methods: Utilizing advanced root cause analysis
techniques such as fault tree analysis, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and
Pareto analysis to identify and address underlying causes of process variation and defects.
Multi-Vari Analysis: Analyzing the simultaneous effects of multiple variables on process
performance using techniques such as Taguchi methods and multivariate regression
analysis.
Regression Analysis: Conducting regression analysis to model the relationship between
process inputs and outputs, identify significant factors, and make predictions for process
optimization.
Design of Experiments (DOE): Designing and executing complex experiments to
systematically explore and optimize process parameters, identify critical factors, and
achieve maximum performance with minimum resources.
Module 5: Improve Phase
Solution Evaluation and Selection for Maximum Impact: Evaluating potential solutions
using criteria such as effectiveness, feasibility, and sustainability to select the most
suitable improvement strategies for implementation.
Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) Principles and Tools: Applying DFSS methodologies,
including quality function deployment (QFD), robust design, and failure mode avoidance,
to design new processes or products with built-in quality.
Theory of Constraints (TOC) and Constraint Management: Applying TOC principles to
identify and manage bottlenecks or constraints that limit process performance and
implementing strategies to optimize throughput and efficiency.
Lean Six Sigma Integration and Waste Reduction Strategies: Integrating Lean principles
such as value stream mapping, 5S, and kanban with Six Sigma methodologies to
streamline processes, eliminate waste, and improve overall efficiency and customer
value.
Module 6: Control Phase
Advanced Control Plan Development and Implementation: Developing comprehensive
control plans to sustain process improvements, including key performance indicators
(KPIs), control charts, and response plans for out-of-control situations.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) for Ongoing Monitoring: Implementing SPC techniques
to monitor process stability and capability, detect deviations from target or specifications,
and take timely corrective actions to maintain process performance.
Advanced Monitoring and Sustaining Techniques: Implementing advanced monitoring
techniques such as real-time process monitoring, predictive analytics, and dashboards to
continuously monitor process performance and identify improvement opportunities.
Project Closure, Handoff, and Transition to Operations: Formalizing project closure by
documenting lessons learned, updating standard operating procedures, and ensuring a
smooth transition of project deliverables and responsibilities to operations for sustained
performance improvement.
