Control

What controls can be put in place to sustain?

Define improvement goals. At a process level goals might be to reduce defect levels or increase

yields. Apply data mining methods to identify improvement opportunities.

Measure the existing system. Establish valid and reliable metrics to help monitor progress toward

the goal(s) defined in the previous step. Begin by determining current baselines.

Analyze the system to identify ways to eliminate the gap between the current performance or

process and the desired goal. Apply statistical tools to guide the analysis.

Improve the system. Be creative in finding new ways to do things better. Use project management

and other planning tools to implement the new approach.

Control and institutionalize the new system.
