Improvement Project Charter $(20\%)$

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to identify an opportunity for process improvement at your workplace, or another organization that you are familiar with, and develop a charter to analyze and implement using the Lean Six Sigma $($LSS$)$ problem$-$solving methodology. The second part of the assignment is to draft a cover "email" to the leader of the area for approval to launch your project.

How to Proceed

Complete the assigned reading, and watch the assigned videos for Unit $5.$

Choose a process that you believe could be improved in your organization, or another organization that you are familiar with. Start by thinking about the $8$ types of lean waste. Examples with non$-$value added steps or waste could include: manual entry of information that is slow and prone to error, processes that include long wait times, or excessive motion $($running around to get what you need$).$

Create a project charter to document what project you have selected and what you want to accomplish. A charter template can be found here. Other formats will be accepted, provided they cover as a minimum, all of the sections in the provided template.

Draft a cover "email" for approval to launch your project $$ your call for action, and why you propose to follow the LSS methodology. Your email should be a maximum of $3$ paragraphs and should be as concise as possible.
