CTQ’s are the basic elements to be used in driving process measurement, improvement, and control. Define Phase –The first phase of DMAIC, where business opportunities are reviewed and projects are clearly defined. See Define Overview for more background. Design of Experiments (DOE) –Pre-...
Pareto analysis is helpful when multiple causes contribute to a single effect (a problem). It is used in various departments and different sectors of a business and organization. The analysis involves assigning each problem a specific numerical score based on the level of impact on the business....
