This Mind Map shows the 8-step approach to solving any kind of product or service problems. The first step is to clarify the problem — you need to make sure in clearness of the problem and describe how it is connected with your unit mission. On the second step, you need to breakdown the problem, compare the current performance with the desired one and identify the performance gap. Set a target on the third step and determine what level of performance is desired and in what term. On the next steps, it is needed to analyze the root cause to prevent the problem's recurrence, develop the countermeasures allowing countering the root cause of the problem, also see the countermeasures through and verify that they are applied. The final two steps suppose the evaluation of both process and results, and standardization successful processes, so make sure that the countermeasures ensure the predicted and desired results, share your successes, and fix the changes as permanent.

Example 2: Quality Mindmaps — Six Sigma

The Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a lean-management tool used to analyze the current state of the product or service at the implementing the lean manufacturing principles, as well as to visualize the process of turning the raw materials into the ready products sold to consumers. It allows reducing the lean waste as compared to the current state. The Value Stream Maps can help a manufacturing team to visualize the material and information flow required to deliver a product or a service to customers. They are used in the Lean Manufacturing methodology to analyze and identify potential process improvement opportunities. The main purpose of the value-stream mapping is to identify waste and quality problems, to reduce and in ideal to remove waste in value streams. All this contributes to increasing the productivity and efficiency of manufacturing processes.
