DMAIC/A3 cycle
How can we move closer to
our target?
What are some ways to resolve
these issues?
A3 I
Think about the causes you have found
5. Develop a Solution:
What outcomes should we achieve?
How can we test our
ideas?
A3 I
Think about how you can verify your solutions
6. Test the Solution:

1. Develop a solution2. Make a plan to put
the solution in place3. Envision how the
solution will look throughout the process
4. Verify that stakeholder needs are met
5. Implement the solution
Tools:• ✔ Benchmarking• Implementation Plan• Stakeholder Analysis• ✔ Future State Map
• What root causes can we fix?
• How can we fix those causes in permanent, not short-term, ways?
• Which solutions are economical and feasible?
• Can we implement this in a reasonable timeframe with available resources?
• Which will improve key performance indicators?

If you are missing key skills, recruit new
members to complete your Implementation
Team
Now that you have a solution, verify that your team has all of the skills
you need.
Implementation Team
• Check that your solution will in fact resolve your problem!
• Find a small-scale opportunity for a test run.
• Verify that there are no negative repercussions from the change.
• Use people from outside the team whenever possible.

Tool: Future State Map
Purpose: Visualize how the process will function after the solution is put in place.
This gives you a reference point against which to compare real changes and a way to assess how well the solution works.

Now revise the A3 Develop a Solution

Develop a Solution, Example

5. Develop a Solution:
Specific changes addressing root cause: Charge a fee to receive a check; implement a policy stating we will pay vendors in 30 days.
Steps to get closer to target: identify the top dollar vendors and work towards capturing discounts from the top 10 initially.

Test the Solution, Example

6. Test the Solution:
We are assuming vendors want to be paid quickly. Once the system is set up to pay vendors in 30 days, we will take a sample to determine whether they will accept the discount.
Clemson is still in the process of determining how best to charge a fee for writing checks. Some technical difficulties need to be resolved.

Revisit, Verify, UpdateRevisit and Verify:• At the end of every
phase, review your:– Project Charter
– Stakeholder Analysis Tool
– Communication Plan
• Check that you are on track!
Update:• Every quarter you will
receive an email from the Lean Office asking for your updated Project Charter to be submitted to the Board of Trustees
• Modify your plans as circumstances and developments require
Remember to communicate and engage
• Develop a solution that is feasible and effective.
• Make a plan to implement it, establishing who, what, and when for each step.
• Verify that it works while meeting stakeholder needs.
• Implement, verify, adjust, and document.
