Analyze
This tool is best described by saying this "three-letter word"
What is 5 whys
(Introduction to Analyze page 3)
This tool is used to show the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable
What is a scatterplot
(Using graphs.... page 3)
Removing hazards and dangers
What is "safety"?
(Lean Improvement Tools, page 3)
A technique that reduces the variability due to nuisance factors.
What is blocking
(Design of Experiments page 4)
In this phase, train the staff on the new procedure
What is "run the pilot"
(Pilots...page 4)
This portion of the Analyze phase finds patterns, trends, etc. that suggest, support, or reject theories
What is data analysis
(Introduction to Analysis page 3)
The sample size given a df = 12
What is 13?
df = n - 1
12 = 13 -1
These are considered to be "waste" in a process

Wheel locks on a shopping cart so it won't leave the parking lot is an example of this:
What is error proofing?
(Introduction to Error Proofing page 4)
Process flow maps, Value stream maps, etc. are these type of tools
What are process analysis tools

For this, at least one run is conducted for each treatment or combination of factors and factor levels
(Design of Experiments page 5)
In this phase, you train all personnel
What is "full scale implementation"?
(Pilots page 5)
