Approach and Mindset

Always keep DMAIC in mind!

Define the problem

Measure the process
Analyse the process
Improve the process
Control the process

Define
Problem

Key Activity: ► Gather data

Tools/Support: ► Matrix (mandatory)

When? What? Where? How Often? How
much?
Does Occur
Does not
► Occur
Pictures (mandatory)
► Yield failure figures (support)
► QC, Quality Control Tools such as Pareto, Histogram etc (support)

Reporting: ► Report problem definition into a project database

► Use standard template

Check Question: ► Does the definition reflect the gap between actual situation and
target?

 Measure

Key Activity: ► Gather data

Tools/Support: ► Yield failure figures (support)

► QC, Quality Control Tools such as Pareto, Histogram etc (support)

Reporting: ► Report production process data, test station data,

inspection data and other relevant data
► Use standard template

Check Question: ► Does the measurements reflect the situation of the process
stability (instability)

 Analyze Determine
Problem Rootcauses

Key Activities: ► Collect as much data as possible and needed

► Identify possible cuases
► Prioritize and select most likely cause
► Identify Root Cause

Tools/Support: ► Brainstorming (mandatory)

► Ishikawa diagram (mandatory)
► 5 Why (mandatory)
► Yield failure figures (support)
► QC (histogram, Pareto…) (support)
► LL DB (review)
► DMS DB (review)
► Experience – ask and investigate regarding trouble shooting

Reporting: ► Analyzis of Directions of Rootcause (statement acc to

yield categorization)
► Follow standard template
► DMS (enclose facts)

Check Questions: ► How does your analysis visualize the problem?

► How was the root casue found?

 Implement
improvement
actions

Key Activities: ► Set up an action plan, review it with regards to risks (FMEA) then
follow it
► Implement and make sure that improvement actions is understood
and will be followed

Tools/Support: ►

Reporting: ► Action/Implementation Plan

- Action (activities)
- Responsible person
- Due Date
- Measure/Follow up on action
► Expectations
► Highlight risks

Check Question: ► How will the solution be implemented?

► How is the implementation progressing?

Control,
verify and
follow up

Key Activities: ► Review iplementation

► Review result
► Make sure the problem stays fixed
► Write final report

Tools/Support: ► Yield figures

► QC Tools (Graphs, Pareto, Histogram…)

Reporting: ► Final Report

► Close DMS (enclose final report)

Check Question: ► How can it be proved that issue is solved?

 Standard-
ization

Key Activities: ► Share the learning across the organization

Tools/Support: ► Lessons Learned (LL) Data Base

Reporting: ► LL with preventive action

► Report to Synchronization Forum and Platform project
► Report to other involved subproduct projects needed

Check Question: ► Has the learning been shared and understood?
