Step 2: Measure Map it, Map it and Map it!
22
DMAIC: Measure
Pain point
Gather relevant stakeholders
Use appropriate process mapping tools
Map the current process
Stop
Start
“Measure” the process baseline
23
DMAIC: Measure Process Maps: Where do I begin? • Write down each step on a post-it note
• Remember: Every step counts! • i.e. Milk for your coffee
• Each person’s steps should be mapped in their own row • Don’t forget to include wait time as a step
