Improve Phase Flashcards
What are the key objectives of the Improve phase?
The key objectives are to develop and implement solutions to address the root causes of defects and variations.
What methods are used to generate improvement ideas?
Methods include brainstorming, mind mapping, and the use of creativity tools such as TRIZ.
What is pilot testing?
Pilot testing involves implementing a solution on a small scale to evaluate its effectiveness before full-scale implementation.
Why is pilot testing important?
It helps to identify potential issues and make adjustments before wider implementation, reducing the risk of failure.
What steps are involved in implementing solutions?
Steps include planning, communication, training, and monitoring the implementation process.
What tools are used to support improvements in the Improve phase?
Tools include control charts, PDSA cycles, and various project management tools.
How do you ensure successful implementation of solutions?
By thoroughly planning, involving stakeholders, providing adequate training, and continuously monitoring the process.
What is the role of improvement tools in the Improve phase?
Improvement tools help to track progress, ensure consistency, and facilitate the implementation of effective solutions.
