Case study
“Muscle Cars” project: Organizing a production line to build two models of cars in as little time as possible, with no defects.
"Define" and "Measure" phases of the DMAIC model
- Estimating the Gap Analysis between actual performance and the customer’s goal.
- Creating the "Voice Of Customer" (VOC).
- Turning the VOC into "Critical To Quality" (CTQ).
- Making a SIPOC diagram (Suppliers, Inputs, Processes, Outputs, Customers).
- Creating the project charter.
- Drawing the "As Is” process.
- Feedback (each group presents its results).
Case study
Applying the "Define" and "Measure" phases to the "Muscle Cars” project.
"Measure" and "Analysis" phases of the DMAIC model
- Creating the Value Stream Map.
- Identifying the steps of the process to be measured.
- Knowing how to calculate the process’ performance.
- Retaking the measurements if necessary.
- Using MINITAB (hypothesis testing, regression line, one- and two-way Anova).
- Feedback (each group presents its results).
Case study

"Analyze", "Improve", and "Control" phases of the DMAIC model
- Finalizing the analysis and finding the Root Cause.
- Finding solutions: Brainstorming, experiment design with MINITAB.
- Creating KPIs and control charts with MINITAB.
- Feedback (each group presents its results).
Case study
