Lean Six Sigma Reflection
Three tools that I found the most useful in Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt were the DMAIC
Property, Fish Bone Diagram, and the Pareto Chart. I like the DMAIC Property because it helped
me figure out how to properly plan and analyze a problem with proper organization. It was a
little tricky at first to get the hang of, but shortly after I figured it out, I really enjoyed it and
started to use it for my own projects. I defined my problem, and have started to collect info to
measure out what needs to be done to make my prototype and solve it. I haven’t yet used
Analyze, Improve, and Control yet, but I know that they will be very useful for my project. The
fishbone diagram turned out to be really easy to understand and I was able to read it a lot better
than the SIPOC diagram. I liked all the different areas that the problem could be coming from
and how I could help attach the problem to the different areas to find out what else could be
affecting the main problem. I found the Pareto chart really useful and interesting in listing out
what causes the problems, and finding the biggest error right before adding them all up and
getting percentages of each problem. Overall, I liked studying in this class and hope that the rest
of the year is just as great, if not better.
