Overview:

The Define phase is the cornerstone of any successful Six Sigma project, setting the foundation for the entire DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) process. In this webinar, "Define Phase in DMAIC Framework of Six Sigma - Identifying Key Metrics and Setting Objectives," we will explore how to effectively launch a Six Sigma initiative by clearly defining the problem, identifying critical metrics, and setting actionable objectives. 

Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to articulate the problem or opportunity that their project aims to address, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and customer expectations. A significant focus of the webinar will be on identifying Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) metrics-those specific measures that directly reflect customer needs and are essential for assessing the success of the project.
