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.)
