DMAIC and DFSS
Gemba Consulting's team specializes in breakthrough
improvement. Our primary focus is to ensure that the improvement supports
your business strategy. Whether it be through implementing DMAIC
in response to a deficiency with an existing process (reactive) or helping
you apply DFSS in the ground-up
design of a new product or process, we coach and mentor you towards a
significant ROI.
DMAIC
DMAIC is an acronym for Define,
Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. Typically
companies implement DMAIC before considering DFSS. They do so in response
to a problem with an existing product, process, or service. Making a
significant and measurable improvement quickly is the first priority, but
inexperienced and short-sighted "quick fixes" always carry higher
long-term costs.
Alternatively, implementing a long-term
corporate-wide initiative and waiting for staff to graduate with Black
Belts does not address the immediate need.
With Gemba Consulting's depth of experience, we
are able to coach you through the immediate problems and help you make
significant improvement while at the same time develop a stable base of
improvement on which you can build and increase value.
We combine the most appropriate techniques for
your particular situation because one solution does not work for all
situations. This is where our experience plays a crucial role. Simply
applying a process improvement technique does not guarantee success and if
applied incorrectly, or to the wrong situation, can actually make the
problem worse. However, make no mistake about it: process reform done
correctly - or what we call "intelligently" - will result in
stellar improvements.
