(Git06: 4.1. Steps of the Define Phase)

• Define Phase: Objective: Understand the problem category(Wed06, ch01)
  • The Define Phase of the DMADV model has five components: 1 establishing the background 1 develop the business case; 1 Compute the benefits of the Six Sigma project. 1 assessing the risks and benefits of the project; 1 forming the team; 1 Activate the PD team. 1 developing the project plan; 1 writing the project objective. 1 Pass the Define Phase tollgate review.
    • If a Six Sigma project does not pass the Define Phase tollgate review, then it is revised and resubmitted for a future tollgate review, or it is abandoned as an unfruitful area of inquiry.
• Measure Phase: The Measure Phase of a Design for Six Sigma project has three steps: 1 segmenting the market; 1 designing and conducting a Kano survey; 1 using the Kano survey results as Quality Function Deployment inputs to find critical-to-quality characteristics (CTQs).
• Analyze Phase: The Analyze Phase of the DMADV model consists of using creative techniques to develop a set of potential high-level design concepts, using a Pugh Matrix to compare and contrast the alternative design concepts, reducing the set of design concepts based on their potential for risk, optimizing Total Life Cycle Cost of the best design, developing a process model for the best design (perhaps a discrete event simulation, if appropriate), and preparing design scorecards for the best high-level design. The Analyze Phase contains four steps: The aim of these four steps in the Analyze Phase is to develop high-level designs. 1 design generation 1 design analysis 1 risk analysis 1 model design. 1 In addition to this, the designs will be evaluated per risk assessments. 1 Finally, nominal values are established for all CTQs in the Analyze Phase for the "best" design.
  • Output:
    • A high-level design (including CTQs and high-level CTPs).
    • A set of design scorecards for the best high-level design CTQs and high-level CTPs.
• Design Phase: The Design Phase of a Design for Six Sigma project has three steps: 1 constructing a detailed design of the "best" design from the Analyze Phase; 1 developing and estimating the capabilities of the critical-to-process elements (CTPs) in the design; 1 preparing a verification plan to enable a smooth transition among all affected departments.
• Verify/Validate Phase: The intent of the Verify/Validate Phase is to facilitate buy-in of process owners, to design a control and transition plan, and to conclude the DMADV project.
