How to Scope DMAIC Projects

Abstract

IX SIGMA SUCCESS is supported by abundant training materials such as texts, videos and audio programs. These materials do an excellent job of telling the history of Six Sigma, providing case studies about extraordinary results at some organizations and explaining the Six Sigma DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve and control) process. The materials also cover some of the tools that need to be used and steps that must be taken during successful implementation of the Six Sigma DMAIC process. But there is little information about some necessary steps and tools. Many are not emphasized or not even addressed in Six Sigma training programs. As a result, those implementing Six Sigma have to rely heavily on learning through trial and error. One such step is the effective scoping of DMAIC projects. Scoping is a vital part of the define phase and can have a long-term impact on a Six Sigma program’s ultimate success.
