Six Sigma initiatives in the PLAN to PRODUCE disciplines demand innovative techniques that effectively address challenges using advanced DOE techniques to quantify process capability, identify statistically significant cause and effect relationships, prioritize process improvement alternatives, predict the impact of changes and control sustainable process improvements. SherTrack’s Model Based Predictive Analytics enable rigorous application of advanced Six Sigma tools and techniques to reduce variation and operate closer to your feasible process capability.
DEFINE PROJECT SCOPE
DEFINE • • • Gain consensus on process improvement objectives Establish acceptable control targets for all performance metrics Integrate competing metrics into consolidated financial criteria
MEASURE
MEASURE SYSTEM PEFORMANCE
• • •
Identify data repositories and document measurement processes Compute operating ranges and statistical correlation/confidence Document relevant planning policies and decision rules that were active during the historical data collection period(s)
ANALYZE
Continuous Improvement
ANALYZE OPPORTUNITIES for IMPROVEMENT
• • • •
Capture the physical process, planning policies and decision rules into a single integrated Digital Model of the process Correlate operating performance with historical records Determine feasible process capability, statistically significant cause-effect relationships and sensitivity to external factors Evaluate and compare alternative process improvement scenarios
IMPROVE
IMPLEMENT TARGETED PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS
• • •
Select prioritized process improvements and define target range(s) for predicted KPI/CTQ performance Use “FLIGHT SIMULATOR” to perform What If analysis, gain team consensus and reduce implementation risk Use Predictive Modeling and Predictive Analytics as decision support for process improvement activities as appropriate
CONTROL
MONITOR AND CONTROL
• • • •
Monitor performance against Model Predictive Control baselines Continuously update probability models, policies and constraints Track adherence to policies, isolate exceptions and identify the presence and influence of external factors Identify and prioritize incremental improvement opportunities
