MEASURE (M)

In the Measure step of DMAIC within lean problem-solving methodologies, precise data collection and process map are conducted to quantify the current state of the process and identify areas of inefficiency or waste. Utilizing process map and waste techniques, this phase emphasizes the importance of establishing a baseline, to enable informed decision-making and targeted improvements for enhanced efficiency and productivity.

See Below for Waste Identification Methods for assisting in the MEASURE (M) Step of the DMAIC Framework.
