    Dear Sirs,

    I write a Six Sigma Study, but i have a problem to do make an Outline.

    1. Introduction
    2. Methology
    2.1 Define
    2.2 Measurement
    2.3 Analysis
    2.4 Improvement
    2.5 Control
    3. Conclusion
    4. References

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I made an improvement with measurement equipment.
    So should it be written like following?

    2.2.1 Define
    2.2.2 Measure
    2.2.3 Analysis
    2.2.4 Improvement
    2.2.5 Control
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I made an improvement in a process.
    Then I measured the process, it was much better but still not good enough.

    2.3.1 Analysis
    2.3.2 Improvement

    Then I made another improvement.
    The process was after the improvement measured and was better like before.

    2.3 Analysis
    2.4 Improvement
    2.5 Control

    It seems to me bad, because 2.3. is behind 2.3.1.

    Could somebody help me out how to figure it out?
    Or it would be better to join results from both improvements into a one?

    Thank you in advance

    Peter

    I can't be of any help with this, [Peter], but I think I'll bump up the magnification on my display.

    I saw your post title in the sidebar and I thought it said " Question to outlive " ... I thought " Wow, that's got to be one heckuva question ! "

    Or it should be like that:

    1. Introduction
    2. Methology
    2.1 Define
    2.2 Measurement
    2.2.1 Define (MSA)
    2.2.2 Measure (MSA)
    2.2.3 Analysis (MSA)
    2.2.4 Improvement (MSA)
    2.2.5 Control (MSA)

    2.3 Analysis - TEST 1
    2.4 Improvement - TEST 1
    2.5 Analysis - TEST 2
    2.6 Improvement - TEST 2
    2.7 Control
    3. Conclusion
    4. References

    Thank you in advance.

    Peter

    Would it be correct to say that you followed DMAIC...made some adjustments...ran DMAIC again...made some improvements...ran DMAIC for a third time?

    Personally, I think I would be a bit confused while reading your Six Sigma Story. If my first statement was correct, I would suggest using Section 2 to describe the DMAIC steps and the actions that you took, including the re-testing.

    Then I'd have:

    3. INITIAL RUN
    • 3.1 D...
    • 3.2 M...
    • 3.3 A...
    • 3.4 I...
    • 3.5 C...

    4. TEST 1
    • 4.1 D...
    • 4.2 M...
    • 4.3 A...
    • 4.4 I...
    • 4.5 C...

    5. TEST 2
    • 5.1 D...
    • 5.2 M...
    • 5.3 A...
    • 5.4 I...
    • 5.5 C...
    6. CONCLUSION
    7. REFERENCES

    That said, if you have to stick to the numbering system of 1-4 in your original post, I would put a table into section with column headers of INITIAL RUN, TEST 1, TEST 2
