This phase focuses on identifying and outlining the problem or improvement area, establishing project goals, and defining the value stream. The value stream represents all the activities, both value-added and non-value-added, that are necessary to bring a product or service from conception to delivery.

Understanding the Value Stream

The value stream is a critical concept in Six Sigma, as it helps to visualize and understand the entire process flow within an organization. By mapping the value stream, teams can identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas of waste, enabling them to target specific improvements that will have the most significant impact on overall performance.
