DMAIC is the methodology used to eliminate and control non value added waste. It describes the overarching principles in Lean project management and consists of 5 phases: Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control.
This sketchnote looks at the first phase : DEFINE
When starting up a project, you must first:
- Develop the problem statement
- Develop the goal statement
- Define the project scope – in LEAN, we use SIPOC
- Identify the key individuals involved in bringing about the change
- Define the process – we can use a Value Stream Map to first map the various steps in the current process, while trying to identify the value added and non value added waste times
