Measure Phase

Do you and your team have a good understanding of the current “as-is” process?

Have you mapped the value stream and / or mapped the sub-processes within the value stream, at a high level with 5-10 steps and at lower levels as needed?

Do you have a clear plan for what needs to be measured and have you defined the measures precisely?

Do you have a data collection strategy and have accurate, representative baseline data?

Do you have concerns about the accuracy or reliability of the measurement system being used for collecting your data?

If so, do you have a plan for addressing these concerns?

Do you understand the customer requirements for all CTCs?

Have you assessed the capability of the current process in terms of meeting these requirements, using quality measures such as Cp, Cpk, FPY, etc.?

Have you updated your project/knowledge notebook and any enterprise project tracking database?
