DMAIC Framework
Drive structured problem-solving and performance uplift using the DMAIC methodology—Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control.
DMAIC Framework Overview
Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control—this framework serves as a project management approach for tackling improvement projects with a clear and proven structure.
While some traditional users consider DMAIC a heavyweight method, others believe it can work just as well for smaller projects.
Pre-Project Assessments
Every Mopex project begins with a baseline to track ongoing, step-by-step improvements. It starts with a 7-Dimension Diagnostic for the DMAIC framework, which produces a Maturity Score. This score marks our “As-Is” starting point and helps shape the roadmap toward the “To-Be” state.
This diagnostic is a prerequisite for our projects and is ideally completed by the client first, as they have the best understanding of their operations. However, Mopex Consulting will conduct a full assessment before the project begins. You’re welcome to view and download the DMAIC 7-Dimension Diagnostic to see how you score.
Mopex DMAIC Project Framework
Mopex Frameworks break projects into clear, trackable phases, whether guided by a Mopex consultant collaborating with the client or handled directly by the client using their own Mopex DMAIC Framework package.
DMAIC Project Tracking
DMAIC Project Tracking Documents are connected to a 'Client' Dashboard, giving up-to-date visibility into their DMAIC project. Check out the example video below to see the "active" dashboard in action.
DMAIC A3 Project Reporting
A3 project reporting templates are available for Visual Factory displays, offering a clear overview of DMAIC projects.
DMAIC Project Tools
Mopex Consulting offers a variety of DMAIC tools and templates to capture baseline findings and track progress throughout a project. These are part of the client engagement process for consulting projects and stay with the client. They’re also available as stand-alone DMAIC Framework packages if you prefer to manage the project yourself. You can find them at the Mopex Store, so feel free to take a look.
DMAIC Project Pricing
For all Mopex Framework projects, we use a tier-based pricing system based on the estimated project duration in weeks. Our tiers—Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum—offer price ranges corresponding to the estimated timeframe.
The listed prices are baseline rates, but several factors can drive up the minimum cost, including maturity level, compliance risk, urgency, and the size of your organisation.
We’ve created a convenient calculator to help you estimate costs for Mopex Consulting, with a formal service quote provided once an MSA is agreed upon.
Mopex ROI Forecast Model for DMAIC Projects
Mopex ROI Forecast Model for DMAIC Projects, it’s designed to quantify the financial and operational impact of data-driven process improvement using the DMAIC methodology.
The accompanying diagram is a representative example of DMAIC implementation scenarios. We’ve also developed a handy ROI Forecast Calculator to help you project results based on your specific inputs.
DMAIC Project Tools Available
Mopex DMAIC toolkits, or “Suggested Assets,” are included in the DMAIC Framework contract and are commonly used for project consulting. There are also many other tools available for DMAIC Continuous Improvement, which can be bought individually or as part of the complete DMAIC Framework package. Visit the Mopex Store to explore your options.
