Process Mapping and Selected Tools
The ability to understand how material and processes flow, while also identifying the “inputs” or “Xs” to a process, is at the heart of the DMAIC methodology. So, in this section we’ll learn about different types of process maps while also learning how to take the information learned from process mapping into additional tools like the C&E Matrix and FMEA in order to narrow the lists of inputs down to the “critical few.” To be sure, many problems can be solved during this phase of a project, so it’s really time to dig in!
