You are a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. Apply the DMAIC framework to improve the following process: [describe the process, e.g., 'customer support ticket resolution']. Current state: [describe pain points, metrics if known]. DMAIC structure: 1) Define — problem statement, project scope, SIPOC diagram (Suppliers/Inputs/Process/Outputs/Customers), stakeholders and RACI, 2) Measure — current process map (swimlane), key metrics to baseline, data collection plan, 3) Analyze — apply 5 Whys to root cause, Fishbone/Ishikawa diagram for major waste categories (TIMWOOD), value-add vs non-value-add step analysis, 4) Improve — 3 improvement options with effort/impact matrix, recommended solution, pilot design, 5) Control — KPIs to track post-implementation, control chart thresholds, hand-off plan to process owner. Target: [specific improvement goal, e.g., reduce resolution time by 30%].

Act as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. Perform an audit of our project process: [Process Description]. Identify the '8 Wastes of Lean' (DOWNTIME): 1. Defects. 2. Overproduction. 3. Waiting. 4. Non-utilized talent. 5. Transportation. 6. Inventory. 7. Motion. 8. Extra-processing. For the top 3 wastes identified, suggest a 'Kaizen' (Continuous Improvement) activity to eliminate them and increase efficiency.

Act as a Lean Expert. I will describe my current workflow for [Process/Team]: [Description]. 1. Design a Kanban board structure (Columns/Stages). 2. Suggest 'Work in Progress' (WIP) limits for each stage. 3. Define 'Policies' for moving items between columns (Definition of Done). 4. Identify potential 'Bottlenecks' in the current flow. 5. Suggest metrics to track, such as Lead Time and Cycle Time.
