Measure Phase Flashcards
What are the key objectives of the Measure phase?
The key objectives are to collect data, determine current performance levels, and identify variations.
What are some methods for data collection?
Methods include surveys, interviews, observations, and using existing data sources.
What is Measurement System Analysis (MSA)?
MSA is a method to ensure the measurement system used for data collection is accurate and reliable.
What is process mapping?
Process mapping is the visual representation of the steps involved in a process.
Why is process mapping important?
It helps to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement within a process.
What are basic statistical concepts important in Six Sigma?
Important concepts include mean, median, mode, range, variance, and standard deviation.
How is data collected in the Measure phase used?
Collected data is used to establish a baseline performance and identify areas of variation that need improvement.
What is the importance of accurate data collection?
Accurate data collection ensures that the analysis and subsequent decisions are based on reliable and valid information.
What is the role of process capability in the Measure phase?
Process capability is assessed to determine how well a process can produce outputs within specification limits.
