Simplex Diagram

Simplex Diagram

Lean six sigma simplex model is a method of analyzing and fixing problems starting with problem finding, fact finding, problem definition, idea finding, selection, planning, sell idea, action. The simplex cycle repeats. The below diagram explains the simplex method.

A sample lss histogram below shows number of defects per batch. Lean six sigma histograms are a good graphic representation of various data points such as defects widely used by the lss methodology.

Push vs pull system

Push vs pull system

Push vs pull system diagram below explains the difference between two key lean six sigma process types. Push system is when material is pushed into downstream workstations regardless of whether resources are available. Pull system – materials are pulled to View diagram Push vs pull system

PDCA cycle

PDCA cycle

PDCA cycle stands for Plan, Do, Check, and Act. Plan for change to bring about improvement, Do change on a small scale first to try them, check to see if changes are working and investigate selected processes, act to get View diagram PDCA cycle
