In practice, these companies use one of two paths to implement six sigma: DMAIC, which contains five phases ( Define , Measure , Analyze , Improve , Control ) , and DMADV which includes ( Define , Measure , Analyze , Design , Verify ). The first path is covered in details by our course materials.

In this assessment, picture yourself as a Quality Records Investigator. In order to improve a current process, product or service, you were requested by the quality manager to create a project plan using six-sigma methodology specifically (DMAIC).

To work on this assignment, choose a product or service, or process that you think it needs to be improved. Create a project plan that explains the following:

1. Measure stage: ( 1 point) ( 100 - 150 words )

2. Analyze stage : (1 point) ( 100 150 words )

Based on your process flowchart and your desired outcomes, Define the Sources of Process Variation. (Causes of problem, or non-value processes)
