Proving root cause of failure in 6 Sigma to guarantee improvement
- 1
Identify possible causes.
Identify all the likely causes of the problem (e.g. poor training, insufficient resources, etc.) and rank them in sequence of likelihood. - 2
Relate causes to the problem.
Gather data about the most likely causes (e.g. do defects rise as volume of work rises, etc.), and use it to compare to the problem. - 3
'Prove' causes using simple statistical methods.
Correlate the 'hypothesised' causes to the problem to identify and demonstrate causal linkage. Acting on proven causal links guarantees significant improvement.
