DMAIC is an acronym that stands for Define,
Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. It
represents the five phases that make up the process:
efine
Define the problem, improvement activity, opportunity for
improvement, the project goals, and customer (internal and
external) requirements.
Project charter to define the focus, scope, direction, and
motivation for the improvement team
Voice of the customer to understand feedback from
current and future customers indicating offerings that
satisfy, delight, and dissatisfy them
Value stream map to provide an overview of an entire
process, starting and finishing at the customer, and
analyzing what is required to meet customer needs
easure
Measure process performance.
Process map for recording the activities performed as
part of a process
Capability analysis to assess the ability of a process to
meet specifications
Pareto chart to analyze the frequency of problems or
causes
nalyze
Analyze the process to determine root causes of variation,
poor performance (defects).
Root cause analysis (RCA) to uncover causes
Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) for identifying
possible product, service, and process failures
Multi-vari chart to detect different types of variation
within a process
mprove
Improve process performance by addressing and
eliminating the root causes.
Design of experiments (DOE) to solve problems from
complex processes or systems where there are many
factors influencing the outcome and where it is
impossible to isolate one factor or variable from the
others
Kaizen event to introduce rapid change by focusing on a
narrow project and using the ideas and motivation of the
people who do the work
ontrol
Control the improved process and future process
performance.
Control plan to document what is needed to keep an
improved process at its current level
Statistical process control (SPC) for monitoring process
behavior
5S to create a workplace suited for visual control
Mistake proofing (poka-yoke) to make errors impossible
or immediately detectable
