The essence of Lean is to concentrate effort on removing waste while improving process flow to achieve speed and agility at lower cost. The focus of Lean is to increase the percentage of value‐added work performed by a company. Lean recognizes that most businesses spend a relatively small portion of their energies on the true delivery of value to a customer. While all companies are busy, it is estimated for some companies that as little as 10% of their time is spent on value‐added work, meaning as much as 90% of time is allocated to non value‐added activities, or waste. This is a 18 page reference guide it includes any applicable templates and data sets. QRG Lean Value Stream Mapping This guide has been designed as a quick reference for the key elements of creating and using a Value Stream Map. A Value Stream is all of the actions (both value‐added and non‐value added) currently required to deliver a product or a service. It is the work activity and information flow occurring as raw material or information becomes a product/service that is delivered to a customer. It is the flow of paper and information from its origin or initial request, to the desired service or action, to its final delivery to the user or customer. It is the entire flow, from door to door. It can be comprised of several key process areas that together achieve the deliverable. This is a 18 page reference guide it includes any applicable templates and data sets. QRG LSS Control Plans This guide has been designed as a quick reference for the key elements of installing and maintaining Lean Principles in the workplace.

Open Source Six Sigma Mar. 1 QRG Measurement System Analysis This guide has been designed as a quick reference for the key elements of conducting a Measurement System Analysis. Measurement System Analysis is the entire system, NOT just calibration or how good the measurement instrument is. We must evaluate the entire environment and Measurement System Analysis gives us a way to evaluate the measurement environment mathematically. This is a 38 page reference guide it includes any applicable templates and data sets. QRG MultiVari Analysis This guide has been designed as a quick reference for the application of the data analysis capabilities of Multi‐ Vari Analysis as applied to a Lean Six Sigma project. Multi‐Vari Analysis is a tool that graphically displays patterns of variation. These studies are used to identify possible X’s and/or families of variation. These families of variation can frequently hide within a subgroup, between groups or over time. This is a 30 page reference guide it includes any applicable templates and data sets. QRG Process Capability This guide has been designed as a quick reference for the key elements of conducting an analysis of the subject process’s capability. Capability Analysis provides you with a quantitative assessment of your processes ability to meet the requirements placed on it. Capability Analysis is traditionally used for assessing the outputs of a process, in other words comparing the Voice of the Process to the Voice of the Customer. However, you can use the same technique to assess the capability of the inputs going into the process. This is a 22 page reference guide it includes any applicable templates and data sets. QRG Process Discovery: Fishbone This guide has been designed as a quick reference for the processes used to identify, define and select the Critical X’s for a Lean Six Sigma project. The Fishbone is a commonly used tool to solicit ideas by using categories to stimulate cause and effect relationship identification with a problem. It uses verbal inputs gathered in a team environment. This is a 15 page reference guide it includes any applicable templates and data sets.

Open Source Six Sigma Mar. 1 QRG Process Mapping This guide has been designed as a quick reference for Process Mapping of your Lean Six Sigma project. This activity occurs during the Measure Phase as you are determining the “as‐is” state of your process, determining who plays what role, what departmental interfaces are involved and all the steps in the present process. Additionally, it sets the stage for the development of the metrics critical to measuring the performance of the process. This is a 23 page reference guide it includes any applicable templates and data sets. QRG Process Modeling Regression This guide has been designed as a quick reference for the key elements of conducting Correlation and Regression Analyses. Process Regression Analysis provides means of assessing the inter‐action between two or more variables. Examples are given of what type of data should be collected and how to process that data through the use of MINITABTM. This is a 20 page reference guide it includes any applicable templates and data sets. QRG Project Definition This guide has been designed as a quick reference for the key elements of identifying, defining and selecting a Lean Six Sigma project. This activity occurs prior to undertaking the rigors of DMAIC and is then refined in the Define Phase once a commitment has been made to solve the problem that is the subject of this definition effort. Experience has taught us that defining and scoping a project properly at the front end is a critical success factor to our ability to achieve desired results. Therefore this is the time to assure we proceed carefully and with discipline. This is a 13 page reference guide it includes any applicable templates and data sets. QRG Statistical Process Control This guide has been designed as a quick reference for the key elements of installing and maintaining Statistical Process Control for activities occurring in the workplace. Statistical Process Control provides us means of tracking the performance of our process after project conclusion. SPC becomes the project dashboard to monitor ongoing performance. SPC can serve as an “early warning system” if the output of our process begins to change. This is a 41 page reference guide it includes any applicable templates and data sets.

Open Source Six Sigma Mar. 1 QRG – XY Matrix This guide has been designed as a quick reference for the key elements of creating and using an X‐Y Matrix Analysis. The Cause and Effect Matrix, also known as an X‐Y Matrix, is a relatively simple matrix used to relate and prioritize X's to process output Y's through numerical ranking using the Process Map as the primary source of information. It can also be used with input from brainstorming tools like the Affinity Diagrams. The goal of the Cause and Effect Matrix is to numerically estimate the relationship of Y=f(X), based on the combined knowledge of the improvement team. It is a tool to funnel down the potential contributors to a given problem. This is a 10 page reference guide it includes any applicable templates and data sets.

Training Aids Multipult: A Breakthrough in‐class Training Aid What’s the one thing that hasn’t changed in the Six Sigma industry since the middle 90’s? The good old training Catapult, or as it is better known, the Statapult. We’ve moved from MAIC to DMAIC to Lean Six Sigma and the good old Statapult hasn’t changed once thru it all…until now. In comparison to any other training catapult, the Multipult offers users and instructors several significant advantages in terms of portability, extent of practical application and rate of knowledge transfer. Unlike certain attribute data generated from the traditional catapult the Multipult is infinitely variable allowing for continuous data to be collected across each dimension. In addition the Multipult is much more durable and compact weighing in at under 5 pounds making transportation between training venues a snap. The Multipult itself is milled from ridged PVC plastics and comes with machined aluminum brackets making the unit extremely durable for use time and time again.
