Change need
Lean Six Sigma White Belt Training — 2.3 Define Phase
Define – Understand the task and its financial impact
• Light
• task selection matrix
• SMART review
• stakeholder map
• risk management
• Comprehensive
• SWOT analysis
• process map
• VoC and break down to CtQ
• 7MT
• DMAIC project charter
Lean Six Sigma White Belt Training — 2.3 Define Phase
Key Questions – define the task and its financial impact
• Is the underlying need for this change and the connection to the strategy clearly defined
& understood?
• Is the present baseline & longterm performance (processes, procedures,
measurements, etc.) analyzed & quantified?
• Is the goal definition acc. to the SMART critea?
• Is there a committed business case incl. all savings (direct / indirect) & cost (project /
program / implementation / maintenance)?
• Are key stakeholders identified & committed in affected organizations?
• Are the project & roll-out risks analyzed and addressed?
• Are resources allocated & committed until the Analyze phase?
Lean Six Sigma White Belt Training — 2.3 Define Phase
Example in a banking scenario
• Overall goal: cycle time reduction (as generally in manufacturing)
• Set up a general structure to handle various processes
• Outline schedule
• 2-4 week initial setup
• select process for improvement
• setup team and project environment
• 2-5 days mapping workshop for actual process
• find value add & waste
• find impact on customer satisfaction
• 3-5 weeks for process map validation
• involve other departments
• strengthen the need for change
• 2-5 days mapping workshop for future process
• 5-10 months implementation
• design & implement the new process
• Result: process time reduction to 30 minutes from an initial average of two hours
