Abstract
Measure phase is the second step of a Lean Six Sigma project, where:
-
a “rational” data collection is performed for the scope chosen: this collection requires effective and efficient planning in order to create a database of knowledge to record the process which will highlight the critical issues from an objective standpoint
-
the data is interpreted through statistical tools (in case of samples, to test their significance and how they are seen/shown overviewed)
-
the reliability of data is verified
-
process performance is calculated through the proper KPI (OEE, Takt Time, Process Sigma, Process Capability etc.)
