Project Charter
The Charter should cover the following
elements:
A.The Business Case:
The rational behind initiating the Six Sigma / Re
engineering project from the business perspective. This
part should answer why the project is important to the
business and if it is addressing Short/Medium or long term
challenges/Objectives.

Project Charter
B.The Problem Statement:
The description of the issue the way the team stated it in
the project.
C.Process mapping and how it was done.
D.Identify Critical to Quality and to Process
Indicators , please indicate how these
indicators were recognized.
4
Project Charter
E.The Goal Statement.
Description of the set objective.
F.The teams involved:
Please indicate team and Organizational roles.
G.Stakeholders model:
Describe the relations and interests.
H. The project timelines.
Need to describe original set time limits for the various parts of
the project vs actual completion dates.
I. Quick Win opportunities (If any)
5
Measure
A.Measurement Plan listing and description
plus the rational behind it.
B.Measurement system Analysis
for the above if needed Gauge R&R or measurement
system limitations or reliability
C.Determine Process Capability
6
Analyze
A.Problem Statement
Identification of factors contributing to the
issue/problem. This is done through data
stratification methods
B.Validation of the Root Cause:
Please indicate how this was carried out utilizing
tools such as Design of Experiments or any
other Statistical Methods.
7
Improve
A. How were potential solution alternatives developed?
B. Indicate Solution Criteria that was set by the team
C. Show Evidence of Solution Evaluation
D. Show Solution Selection Process
(For Example this could be the ranking method)
E. How was implementation planned, carried out and
monitored?
F. Process performance before and after implementation
G. Improvement results – Cost saving/ revenue addition
results verified by Finance deptt.
H. Intangible improvements, if any
8
Control
A.Controls put in place to ensure that the gains
are locked in and that the process is stable.
(Describe the control system elements)
B. Describe the roles of the stakeholders in this
process
C.How long the stability of the process was
monitored? What was the result of monitoring
(e.g. process capability, control chart limits etc.).
9
Project Closure

Check Do
A.Learnings from the project
B. Where there any horizontal deployment
opportunities.
C. Plan for further refinement of the process
D. Team recognition.
Indicate how the team was recognized.
