Level5
GoalSG 2
PracticeSP 2.1

Implement selected action proposals developed in causal analysis.

Action proposals describe tasks necessary to remove root causes of analyzed defects or problems and avoid their reoccurrence.

Only changes that prove to be of value should be considered for broad implementation.

Typical Work Products

1.    Action proposals selected for implementation

2.    Improvement proposals

Typical Supplier Deliverables

1.    Improvement proposals

Subpractices

1.    Analyze action proposals and determine their priorities.

Criteria for prioritizing action proposals include the following:

·       Implications of not addressing the defects

·       Cost to implement process improvements to prevent the defects

·       Expected impact on quality

2.    Select action proposals to be implemented.

3.    Create action items for implementing the action proposals.

Examples of information provided in an action item include the following:

·       Person responsible for implementing it

·       Description of the areas affected by it

·       People who are to be kept informed of its status

·       Next date that status will be reviewed

·       Rationale for key decisions

·       Description of implementation actions

·       Time and cost required to identify the defect and correct it

·       Estimated cost of not fixing the problem

 

To implement action proposals, the following tasks must be done:

·       Make assignments

·       Coordinate the people doing the work

·       Review the results

·       Track action items to closure

Experiments may be conducted for particularly complex changes.

Examples of experiments include the following:

·       Using a temporarily modified process

·       Using a new tool

 

Action items may be assigned to members of the causal analysis team, members of the project team, or other members of the organization.

4.    Identify and remove similar defects that may exist in other processes and work products.

5.    Identify and document improvement proposals for the organization’s set of standard processes.

Refer to the Organizational Innovation and Deployment process area for more information about the selection and deployment of improvement proposals for the organization’s set of standard processes.
