Cause & Effect (XY) Matrix Example

Click SigmaXL > Templates & Calculators > DMAIC & DFSS Templates > Cause & Effect (XY) Matrix to access the Cause & Effect (XY) Matrix template.

This is a simple Cause and Effect Matrix example for a Call Center. If prompted, please ensure that macros are enabled in order to allow Pareto Charts to be created.

Notes:

1. Weight the Output Variables (Y's) on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 indicating most important to the Customer.
2. For Root Cause Analysis, assign the association/effect multiplier score for each X to Y using a scale of 0, 1, 3, 9, where 0 = None, 1 = Weak, 3 = Moderate, and 9 = Strong. Initially this assignment will likely be a team subjective assessment. Data should be collected and the degree of association should be validated with Graphical and Statistical Tools.
3. For Project Selection or Solution Selection, assign the association multiplier score for each X to Y using a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 indicating strong association.

Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA) Example

Click SigmaXL > Templates & Calculators > DMAIC & DFSS Templates > Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA) template.

This is a simple Failure Mode and Effects example for Stocking Inventory. If prompted, please ensure that macros are enabled in order to allow sort by RPN.

If you hover the mouse cursor over the Severity, Occurrence or Detection heading the recommended scale will appear as a comment:

The recommended scales for Severity, Occurrence, and Detection are shown below:

Click Risk Priority Number (RPN) Sort to sort the rows by RPN in descending order.

Click Revised Risk Priority Number Sort to sort the rows by Revised RPN in descending order.

Click Row Number Sort to restore the FMEA worksheet to the original row order (ascending).
