Analyse Phase Flashcards
What are the key objectives of the Analyze phase?
The key objectives are to identify the root causes of defects and variations within a process.
What techniques are used for root cause analysis?
Techniques include the 5 Whys, Fishbone diagrams, and Pareto analysis.
What is hypothesis testing in Six Sigma?
Hypothesis testing is a statistical method used to determine if there is enough evidence to reject a null hypothesis.
What data analysis tools are used in the Analyze phase?
Tools include Pareto charts, histograms, scatter plots, and control charts.
What is process capability analysis?
Process capability analysis determines if a process is capable of producing outputs that meet specifications consistently.
Why is it important to understand variation in the Analyze phase?
Understanding variation helps to identify the sources of defects and areas that need improvement.
How is process capability measured?
It is measured using capability indices such as Cp, Cpk, Pp, and Ppk.
What is the significance of identifying root causes in the Analyze phase?
Identifying root causes allows for targeted improvements that address the underlying issues rather than just the symptoms.
