Improve: During the improve phase of a DMAIC project, Six Sigma teams brainstorm possible solutions for the root causes identified in the analyze phase and rank those solutions according to costs, how effective the solution would be, and how likely the solution could be implemented.
Solution Selection Matrix: in an analytical tool that lets teams propose and rank solutions for any of the root causes identified in the analyze phase.
Cost Benefit Analysis: When teams include the appropriate individuals in the process, a solutions selection matrix is very adept at identifying the best possible solutions for implementation.
Payback, or Pay Off, Analysis: to conduct a payback analysis, Six Sigma teams must have an estimated cost for the project as well as the estimated financial benefit per year.
-
Piloting a Solution: Once a solution is selected and word done to bring it into production at a minimal level, the Six Sigma team is ready for a pilot.
Analyze Pilot and Test Results: Six Sigma experts can use all the tools associated with the analyze phase to test whether solutions have a positive impact during testing or pilot programs.
Planning Implementation: Once solutions have been verified through tests ana analysis, teams can begin the work of implementing changes on a large scale.
Documentation: The Six Sigma team must have documented all of its work so far during the DMAC process.
Training: Strong documentation is key to the next part of implementing improvements, which is staff training.
Transition: During the improve phase of a DMAIC project, teams should begin to consider the need to transition a process back to the business and traditional process owner.
