ANALYZE (A)

In the Analyze step of DMAIC within lean problem-solving methodologies, detailed examination of collected data is performed to uncover root causes of inefficiencies or defects within the process. By leveraging lean tools such as Value-Stream Mapping (VSM), this phase focuses on identifying waste and non-value-added activities, facilitating targeted interventions to eliminate bottlenecks and optimize workflow for improved performance.

See Below for Lean and Process Map Tools for assisting in the ANALYZE (A) Step of the DMAIC Framework.
