Hypothesis matrix - measures and tests

Hypothesis	Description	Process	Measures	Benefits
H1	Implementation of 5S	5S eliminates unnecessary steps from production processes	Productivity %	Productivity increase
H2	Implementation of TPM	To increase the constructive efficacy of equipment by emphasizing preventive and preventive maintenance	Defect ppm	Reduces machine downtime and improves overall equipment efficiency
H3	Implementation of VSM	A graphical technique for analysing and streamlining the production process	Time saving in mins/Hr	Reduces process waste and increases value-added time
H4	Implementation of Kaizen Initiative	Daily improvements in problem solving and small change programs	Defect ppm	Tackles the root causes of product defects and empowers shop floor workers to set rectification measures
H5	Workforce engagement	By transforming technical lean operations into actual performance in terms of quality	Lean implementation %	Successful implementation of lean techniques
H6	Lean training	Ensures the long-term institutionalization of lean culture in addition to facilitating its adoption	Employee skill and morale	Boost employee confidence when combined with their ongoing adoption of lean methods
H7	Strong leadership support	Fosters a welcoming environment that facilitates change management and helps align to strategic goal with daily operations	Productivity %	Productivity increase
