DMAIC

The DMAIC process of Lean Six Sigma

 

Define problems, customer wants, processes, and project boundaries.

Measure the process as it was, as it is, and as you want it to be.

Analyze sources of variation, performance gaps, and priorities to improve.

Improve the process by designing & implementing creative ways to fix and prevent problems.

Control the improved process - and prevent backsliding into old habits.

 

DMAIC templates

DMAIC templates

Each of the 100+ Systems2win business templates can be used in more than one phase of the DMAIC process,
which is why we don't try to pigeon-hole each continuous improvement tool into one possible way of using it.

At Systems2win, our philosophy is to provide excellent Lean Six Sigma tools and Lean video and online training -
and yet our tools can only be as good as the carpenter that uses them.

In the hands of a skilled Lean facilitator or Black Belt, each one of our Lean Six Sigma power tools can be used in literally dozens of creative ways to produce outstanding deliverables for each of the five phases of the DMAIC cycle.

The Scientific Method

DMAIC is one of many lean six sigma methods to implement the scientific method.

Other lean tools and systems that also employ the scientific method include:

And the closer you look - you will reach your own "aha moment" when you realize that at their core foundation - every single tool within the DMAIC Cycle is a unique way to apply the scientific method to special types of circumstances commonly found on your lean journey.
