1. Process Design and Optimization It is the systematic effort to analyze existing workflows and design new, highly efficient systems to maximize output while minimizing inputs and waste. 2. The Goal The primary aim is continuous improvement in three main areas: Reduce Waste (Muda): Eliminating non-value-added activities (e.g., waiting, excessive motion, defects, unnecessary inventory). Increase Productivity: Maximizing the ratio of Output / Input (e.g., more units produced with the same or fewer hours of labor and materials). Enhance Quality: Building quality into the process so that products/services are right the first time. 3. DMAIC Cycle (Six Sigma Methodology) The DMAIC cycle is a structured, data-driven approach used in process improvement and optimization to reduce defects and improve quality. D – Define Clearly define the problem , project goals, and customer requirements. Identify process boundaries , stakeholders, and critical-to-quality (CTQ) factors. ...
