7 Step Improvement Process
1
Elements of process improvement and control
Every process has three (3) elements
1. The area of discovery
Understanding the customer requirements and
developing the process to meet these requirements
2. The method of process control
Assessing performance and variation
3. The element of improvement
Problem solving and quality improvement

•
Focus on weakness
•
Thoroughly explore the
problem/opportunity
•
Carefully select the theme
•
Clearly state the theme
•
Have weakness orientation
•
State as a problem/gaps, not a
solution
•
State in terms of results
7. Reflect on Process
6
Selecting the theme
• Weakness is difference between current situation and the target.
• Weakness orientation focuses on eliminating weakness as basis
of improvement (Closing the Gap).

7. Reflect on Process
• Define your data collection process
• Appropriate to process
• Multi-variable data
• Analyze the data
• Stratification
• Graphics
• Focus on deviation
• Draw a logical conclusion
• Based on facts
• Focus on vital few
“Primary tool used is Pareto Diagram

Frequently used data collection tools
CHECKSHEET
PARETO DIAGRAM
CONTROL CHART
GRAPH (RUN CHART)
HISTOGRAM
Used to systematically collect data or tabulate data.
(e.g. frequency of occurrence of defect types)
Excellent method to identify vital few. (2 levels minimum)
(e.g. Percent of failures due to various defect types
arranged in descending order of occurrence)
Method to identify non-standard process variation
(e.g. Solder paste height versus time)
Method to identify trends in data
(e.g. In circuit test yield versus time)
Method to identify distribution of the data
(e.g. Number or solder paste observations falling into
various height ranges)

7 Step improvement process
1. Select Theme
• Create cause-and-effect
diagram from Pareto
2. Collect Data
• Investigate cause thoroughly
3. Analyze Causes
• Draw logical conclusions
(i.e. supported by data)
4. Plan Solution and Implement
5. Evaluate

Verifying Root Causes
Collect data on root causes
Use run charts, Pareto, Graphs, scattergrams, etc. to
determine strength of correlation between root cause and
problem
If verification fails to validate choices, return to diagram
and choose new root causes to verify.

7 Step improvement process
1. Select Theme
• Focus on the primary root causes
2. Collect Data
• Focus on solution which you can
implement
3. Analyze Causes
• Dont try to fix everything at once
4. Plan Solution and Implement
• Involve those who will be affected
5. Evaluate
• Run a controlled experiment (Pilot)
6. Standardize
7. Reflect on Process

7 Step improvement process
1. Select Theme
• Confirm improvement
(Before and after comparison)
2. Collect Data
• Evaluate all subsequent effects
3. Analyze Causes
• Measure improvement gains over
time
4. Plan Solution and Implement
5. Evaluate

7 Step improvement process
• Analyze strengths and weaknesses
1. Select Theme
2. Collect Data
• Determine the next problem
• Document the Quality improvement
story
3. Analyze Causes
4. Plan Solution and Implement
• Identify the critical difficulties during
the process - using tools, etc.
5. Evaluate
• Identify the critical strengths
6. Standardize
• Identify the key things the team
would do differently
7. Reflect on Process
• Identify what key things the team
needs to learn to improve the 7 step
process.
