Plan Do, Study, Adjust Background Current Condition Countermeasures / Implementation Plan Effect Confirmation Follow-up Actions • What? • Who? • When? • Where? (if relevant) Target Condition / Measurable Objectives • Diagram of desired state • Measurable targets – how will we know that the improvement has been successful? • Diagram of current situation or process • What about it is not ideal? • Extent of the problem (metrics) • Problem statement • Context - Why is this a problem? How large is the problem? Root Cause & Gap Analysis • Graphical depiction of the most likely direct (root) causes • What measurable results did the solution achieve (or will be measured to verify effectiveness)? • Who’s responsible for ongoing measurement? • Where else in the organization can this solution be applied? • How will the improved state be standardized and communicated?
