All About the Analyze Phase
In the analyze phase, we will take a closer look at the data to identify and target the improvement opportunities. The goal is to use various analysis tools to reveal further details about the process or product in question. When the data analysis is successful, you will discover a specific factor or set of factors within the process that leads you to verify the source of the variation or problem.
Process Analysis
Did you know there are 8 major waste that cause defects that take up space, time, materials, money, and manpower for detection, inspection, & defect repair? In this section, we will learn these eight (8) waste then use process mapping to identify & target them for improvement opportunities in the process.
Graphical Analysis
In this lesson, we will introduce you to, and show you how to develop five (5) graphical tools for analyzing both attribute and variable data. The tools are common graphical methods for "dicing and slicing" the data in such a way that the data actually speak to you right off the page to help you see the target opportunities for improvement.
Vital Few
The final step in the Analyze phase is to identify the source of the variation. You will be introduce to a couple more tools to help you verify the potential causes or vital few is valid. We often say, "You have found the root cause when you can remove it and the problem goes away. You can re-introduce the factor or cause, and the problem returns.
