What is Five Focusing Steps, and how do you use it?
Five Focusing Steps is an interactive LSS.WIKI learning tool in Theory of Constraints, within the Line Simulation module. Press 'elevate the constraint' on a DBR line: output steps up and the red drum markers migrate to the new slowest station — a constraint always exists, it just moves. Explore Five Focusing Steps with the interactive controls and compare the resulting scenarios. It supports Lean Six Sigma training, process improvement, quality, and operational-excellence work.
Open interactive toolHow do you use Five Focusing Steps?
Open the tool, adjust its inputs, observe the visual response, and connect the result to a real training, process-improvement, or quality decision.
Where can teams use Five Focusing Steps?
- Method instruction in Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, Black Belt, and internal training programs.
- Shared analysis for process improvement, quality, cost, and continuous-improvement projects.
- Interactive practice that makes statistical or management concepts observable and discussable.
Frequently asked questions
