Overview of the Improve phase
- Now that you know which key X's drive the performance of Y you will want to develop and implement solutions to address the key X's in order to improve Y. You are now in the improve phase. Remember, the main steps are, first, generate potential solutions to address proven key X's. Next, evaluate solution alternatives. Then, select the right set of solutions to optimize Y. Last, pilot and implement. Now, before implementing any solutions, you must apply these tools and techniques. New process maps to achieve a common understanding of the improved process. FMEA, or failure modes and effects analysis to mitigate any potential risk of failure and improve process. Also, mistake proofing to prevent any possibility of errors. And pilot testing to make sure it works before full implementation. Various tools such as DOE and process simulation may be used to determine optimal settings. Check out my course, Six Sigma: Green Belt Training for an introduction to DOE. Here, in this Black Belt…
