2. Map out the order entry and production planning processes. How long do these processes take? How much of this time is “value-added”? What is the percent value-added time? What accounts for the remainder of the time? 3. Suppose Ellison Textiles would like to use the Six Sigma methodology to structure the improvement effort. How would you describe the “D” step of DMAIC for this particular effort? What kinds of improvements do you think would satisfy the “I” stage? Be creative. Why might it make sense to follow the DMAIC methodology here, even though we might think we “know” what the problem and the solutions are?
