Lean D-M-A-I-C Rpt

D-M-A-I-C or DMAIC (Design-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) is a five-phase improvement roadmap for Six Sigma. This app provides fundamental information on Six Sigma's Design-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (D-M-A-I-C or DMAIC) methodology in a visual manner to a particular improvement project with the ability to document each phase with text and images in a standardized, customizable, and sharable format on the cloud. Learn the importance on how a consistent approach to learning, applying, and documenting Lean Six Sigma tools by stimulating dialogue and creative problem solving can better engage employees. The main Lean Six Sigma tools will be thoroughly explained relative to the D-M-A-I-C methodology (along with a Prepare Phase). The D-M-A-I-C Report is simple and practical, and will efficiently display relevant information for a continuous improvement or problem solving project.

The Dynamic Kanban Action Item Board allows Action Items to be visually managed using 4 “buckets” of To Do, In Progress, In Review, and Done allowing for Assignor to track progress by a simple drag and drop function to each bucket. Emails are automatically sent to Assignee(s) for all Action Items.

The 4 buckets functions as follows:

To Do – The Assignor will create the Action Item and reside there until the Assignee receives the email notification and acknowledges receipt to the Assignor via email or text. The Assignor then moves it to In Progress.
In Progress – The Assignee will work on the Action Item and once completed notify the Assignor. The Assignor then moves it to In Review.
In Review – The Assignor will ensure the Action Item is completed and move it to Done, or if not completed, make comments and move it back to In Progress, and subsequently notify the Assignee.
Done – The Assignor moves the Action Item to Done once they are satisfied that it has been fully completed.

Beyond educational purposes, this app provides suggested activities for each D-M-A-I-C phase for a customizable and standardized use of a D-M-A-I-C report and Action Item tracking.
