Study Notes

Defining the Scope of Level 2 PFM

The scope of Level 2 PFM is defined by identifying the complete associated process and its natural starting and stopping points.
The process is mapped at a Level 2, which includes all the steps involved in the process.

Building a SIPOC

A SIPOC diagram is created to identify the suppliers, inputs, process, outputs, and customers for the key process.
The SIPOC diagram includes:
- Suppliers: ATT Phones, Office Depot, TI Calculators, NEC Cash Register
- Inputs: Pizza type, size, quantity, extra toppings, special orders, drink types and quantities, phone number, address
- Process: See below
- Outputs: Price, order confirmation, bake order, delivery info
- Customers: Cook, accounting, complete call < 3 min, order to cook < 1 minute
- Requirements: Correct bake order, correct address, correct price

Identifying Customer Requirements

Customer requirements are identified by creating a Level 2 PFM process output identification and analysis.
The process output identification and analysis includes:
- Output data: Customer name, metric, measurement, value data, general data/information
- Requirements data: Metric, measurement, value data, general data/information
- Measurement data: System, frequency of measurement, performance level data, value data, general data/information

Identifying Supplier Requirements

Supplier requirements are identified by creating a Level 2 PFM process input identification and analysis.
The process input identification and analysis includes:
- Input data: Supplier name, metric, measurement, value data, general data/information
- Requirements data: Metric, measurement, value data, general data/information
- Measurement data: System, frequency of measurement, performance level data, value data, general data/information

Controllable vs. Noise Inputs

Inputs can be either controllable (C), procedural (P), or noise (N).
Controllable inputs can be adjusted or controlled while the process is running.
Procedural inputs can be adjusted or controlled while the process is running.
Noise inputs are things that are not thought to be controlled, are unknown, or are too expensive or difficult to control.

Process Inputs (X's) and Outputs (Y's)

Process inputs (X's) are identified and analyzed.
Process outputs (Y's) are identified and analyzed.
The relationship between inputs and outputs is established.

Level 3 Process Flow Diagram

The Level 3 process flow diagram is used to identify the process steps and their relationships.
The diagram includes:
- Process steps: Take order, add ingredients, place in oven, observe, check, remove from oven
- Inputs: Ingredients, oven temperature, bake time, room temperature, moisture content
- Outputs: Correctly cooked pizza, hot pizza >140 deg, correct ingredients
