MCAT PROJECT DEFINE PHASE TECHNICAL REPORT

Create a professionally formatted technical repot (format up to you) to your supervisor communicating the results of the Design Phase of Projectile LLCs process improvement project.

Your report should contain the following.

• Executive summary of the problem.

• Results of your Process Walk (interviews, initial discussions). What were some of

  the difficulties with data collection that you observed? Are there any process improvement opportunities that jump out of you from your Go see process walk / baseline analysis?

• VOC analysis.

• SIPOC chart and discussion.

• Discuss your plants quality levels, ability to deliver and overall cost of (poor)

  quality. What are the opportunities that you can pursue? What is the potential cost

  savings to be realized?

• Complete the Catapult QC Report (baseline) and include it in your memo as a figure.

• Complete the MCAT Cost of Quality Analysis. Include the full analysis in an appendix

  and a SUMMARY of your cost of quality analysis (dont just cut and paste the spreasheet! Make your own summary table with the most important, bottom line information.)

• Complete the Project Charter and upload it with your tech memo as a separate document. Though do please reference it in your memo.
