MEASURE STAGE

MEASURE STAGE

The goal of the Measure phase of a Six Sigma DMAIC project is to get as much information as possible on the current process so as to fully understand both how it works and how well it works. This entails three key tasks: creating a detailed process map, gathering baseline data and summarizing and analyzing the data.

 The Measure Stage date have been gathered over the last three months and represents number of Total Measurements and Total Re-measurements. Since the problem have been highlighted we can observed major difference between the beginning of the project and now. The number of re-measurements is declining, as project is still in progress.

 During the Define Stage, the project team established CTQs representing the customer expectation for quality. The CTQ measures and specifications will be used to calculate a process sigma score for the baseline process, so gathering data on those specific measures is a primary focus at this point in the DMAIC project.

We have calculated Total Labour Cost for Total Measurements, Re-measurements and for Good Measurements to see what how much money the company XYZ is wasting on measurements errors.

DPMO

 At this stage, the collected data is evaluated and sigma is calculated. It gives an approximate number of defects. There are 20 opportunities for a measurement error during the MicroVu process. (More details in the Interim Report).

FY Final Yield   

Final Yield and other yield metrics served as baseline scores Measure Phase. we have calculated Yield for further analyzes of the process progression.
