The tools used in the project

Stage	Tool	Output
Define	Gemba walk	Physically observe the potential of the manufacturing space
	Brainstorming and affinity diagram	Develop ideas ad group them together
	SIPOC	Provides a clear picture of the inputs and outputs for the process
	Project charter	Details the scope, goals, resources and deliverables for the project
Measure	Critical to quality tree	Used to translate the business needs into qualifiable outputs of the new process
Measure	Data collection plan	This will be used to measure the current use of the manufacturing space
Analyse	Pareto chart	This will be used to analyse the current use of the manufacturing space
Analyse	Ishikawa cause and effect	Used in reverse to brainstorm ideas to reach the requirements of the process
Design	Process mapping	Design the new space management and approval process
Design	Gantt chart	Used to plan implementation
Verify	Pilot run	Validate that new process design meets runs smoothly and meets target outputs
	Change management	Manage resistance to new process and ensure that it is meeting its target outputs
	Control plan	Schedule ongoing review of process to ensure that it is meeting its target outputs
	Gemba	Used to physically observe the new process has the desired impact in the manufacturing area
