Lean D-M-A-I-C Rpt 1.0

The D-M-A-I-C (Design-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) methodology serves as a cornerstone for Six Sigma initiatives, outlining a five-phase roadmap for process improvement. This application presents a structured overview of the D-M-A-I-C framework, effectively conveying essential concepts through a visual format tailored to specific improvement projects. Users can document each phase with accompanying text and images, all organized in a customizable and sharable format accessible via the cloud.

The app emphasizes the significance of a consistent approach to learning, applying, and documenting Lean Six Sigma tools. By fostering dialogue and encouraging creative problem-solving, it enhances employee engagement in continuous improvement efforts. Key Lean Six Sigma tools are thoroughly elucidated in relation to the D-M-A-I-C methodology, including an additional Prepare Phase. The D-M-A-I-C Report generated by the app is both user-friendly and practical, serving as an efficient medium for presenting pertinent information related to ongoing improvement or problem-solving projects.

One notable feature is the Dynamic Kanban Action Item Board, which facilitates visual management of tasks across four designated categories: To Do, In Progress, In Review, and Done. This drag-and-drop functionality allows Assignors to easily track progress, while automated email notifications keep Assignees informed about their responsibilities.

• To Do: Action Items are created by the Assignor and remain here until the Assignee acknowledges receipt through email or text. After acknowledgment, the Assignor moves it to In Progress.
• In Progress: The Assignee works on the Action Item and notifies the Assignor upon completion. The Assignor subsequently moves it to In Review.
• In Review: The Assignor assesses whether the Action Item meets completion criteria, moving it to Done if satisfactory; if not completed, they provide feedback and revert it back to In Progress while notifying the Assignee.
• Done: The Assignor finalizes the Action Item status once all requirements have been met.

Beyond its educational offerings, this app includes suggested activities tailored for each phase of D-M-A-I-C, ensuring both standardization and customization in reporting and action item tracking.
