The course follows DMAIC
- Define: Understand problem
- Measure: Identify possible causes
- Analyze: Prove true root causes
- Improve: Solve root causes
- Control: Create lasting solution
Day 1

- Process mapping
- Brainwriting, Brainstorming, Fishbone and 5 Whys
Day 2
- Prove root causes
- Observation
- Turn on / off
- Graphical analysis:
- Histogram
- Pareto
- Run Chart
- Box plot
- Scatterplot
- Correlation
- Evaluate solutions and implement the best ones
- Follow-up to ensure lasting result
Practical exercises
We use a Galton board during the training to understand normal and special variation, basic statistics and histograms.
We will also use it for practical exercises and to generate data.
The Galton board provides a good visual understanding of what happens if you overreact to normal variation.
The exercises can be customized based on the need of the company and your own data can be used.
Webmeeting 1
You learn to use an A3 template to solve problems.
- Structured problem-solving; A3, PDCA, DMAIC & 8D

- Measure the current situation
- Set a goal
- Understand Y = f (x)
- Understand the terms symptom, problem, and root cause
- Brainstorm potential causes and group them in a Fishbone
- Make causes measurable and prioritize
- Use 5 Whys to find true root causes
- Prove root cause using observation and turning on / off
