STEP
OUTPUTS
2. Voice of the
Customers
“WHY” question based on the project
background
 Include picture during VOC
 List of responses with no. of
frequency
 Responses are valid
 Separate slide for VOCs
One affinity diagram for all VOCs
 Themes must be based on the
grouped responses
(commonalities)
 Themes not copied from
previous projects
 Conclusion after the affinity
diagram as the basis in choosing
the process
3. Walk the
Process
Current Process (SIPOC)
 Supplier
 Inputs
 Process
 Output
 Customers
SIPOC and Process Steps (Level 1&2) in
one slide
 Process Map with Storm clouds
 Deployment Flowchart
Graph – data/results of the
current process
 Graph title, labels on x and y
axis
 Graphical presentation (chart
type)
4. Identify
Priority
Improvement
Areas (PIAs)




5. Root Cause
Analysis
(RCA)
Focused Problem Statement:
Anchored from the result of the
current process
FPS - Negatively stated
Focused problem statement and
Objective statement in one slide
Objective Statement – positively
stated
Why-Why Diagram:
 English
 Head – copy the Focus problem
statement
 Quantify the data used in the
storm clouds/VOC
 Have at least 2-3 causes before
arriving at the root cause
