* Define Used to identify processes that is in need of improvement
* Measure Support the problem statement definition and establish current performance baseline
* Analyze Enable the identification and validation of the root cause of the problem
* Improve Establish performance targets and future performance state
* Implement Monitor the process as changes are made thereby measuring results
* Control Continue to monitor the process to ensure gains are sustained
The fundamental objective of the Six Sigma methodology is the implementation of a measurement-based strategy that focuses on process improvement and variation reduction. This is accomplished through the use of the DMAIC process (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) to identify, achieve and sustain incremental improvements. Using Informances Downtime Analysis capabilities, manufacturers can determine the variability in their setup times and analyze their TAKT time to provide the critical data needed for each step of the DMAIC process.
* Total Productive Maintenance
* Kaizen
* Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED)/Quick Changeover
* Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
Six Sigma
Lean incorporates a number of tools and techniques that can be significantly enhanced by the Informance solution:
Lean Manufacturing is often described as an approach where waste is targeted and systematically eliminated. Its goal is to incorporate less human effort, less inventory, and less space to become highly responsive to customer demand while producing top quality products in the most efficient and economical manner possible. At its most basic level within a manufacturing environment it involves an attack on rework, inventory, unreliable equipment, poor quality, and unnecessary activities and labor.
