DMADDD (Define, Measure, Analyze,

Part of Motorola’s Digitization
effort, DMADDD is used to drive the cost out of a process by

automate certain tasks. In doing so, employees can be freed
up to work on more important duties.
Define:
Where must we be leaner?
Measure:
What’s our baseline?
Analyze:
Where can we free capacity and improve yields?
Design:
How should we implement?
