Purposedifferent | For a process problem with fluctuating performance, the method brings analysis and improvement into a disciplined sequence. It creates a framework in which numbers, causes, and control come together. | The method makes visible why two seemingly incompatible demands arise and which assumption must be tested to resolve the conflict. |
