Quiz: Measure Step of Lean Six Sigma

What is the term that describes a numerical indicator of the current problem that a Lean Six Sigma team works on?

• SIPOC

• Organizational Impact

• Metric

• DMAIC

How many metrics should a Lean Six Sigma team include in their improvement project?

• 3-4

• 2-3

• 1-3

• 1-2

If a team only selects ONE metric this provides the team better focus.

• True

• False

Why are metrics important in the DMAIC process?

• They allow a team to pick their results before implementing solutions

• They show how many problems are not important

• They allow a team to develop a solution without needing data

• They allow a team to develop a baseline measure of the problem.

Run Charts are a “picture” of a quality-based problem.

• True

• False

A Pareto chart shows a line graph with results over time.

• True

• False

A Pareto chart is known for this rule in which you identify 20% of the sources that cause 80% of the problem.

• True

• False

With a run chart you calculate the average to determine the baseline measure of the problem

• True

• False

What is the purpose of the measure step?

• To implement solutions

• To form a team and seek the champions input

• To develop a baseline measure of the problem

• To determine the cause and effect of the problem

What is the Lean Six Problem solving methodology called?

• DMAIC - Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve

• PDCA - Plan-Do-Check-Act

• QTC - Quality-Time-Cost

• PPOIPS - Project Purpose, Organizational Impact, Project Scope
