DMAIC cf., to A3
DMAIC
is a foundational, data-intensive project methodology primarily utilized within the Six Sigma domain to systematically improve, optimize, and stabilize existing business processes.
Conversely, an A3 report provides a highly concise, visual overview typically limited to a single page, maximizing collaboration and quick communication rooted in Lean thinking.
The visual rendering below reflects these structured concepts juxtaposed alongside a metaphorical strategic chess match observed by global lead

Standardized Plans
- DMAIC: Built for complex, chronic, or vague process variations that require deep statistical analysis (such as regression or hypothesis testing).
- A3: Designed for straightforward, well-defined problems or localized issues that can be captured and resolved rapidly.
Timeframe:
- DMAIC: Typically spans 3 to 6 months as a formal project.
- A3: Completed much faster, ranging from a few days to a couple of weeks…
Documentation Format:
- DMAIC: Generates extensive project documentation, data sets, and control plans.
- A3: Fits the entire narrative—from background and root cause to countermeasures and follow-up—on a single 11x17 inch sheet of paper…
Core Focus:
- DMAIC: Emphasizes reducing statistical defects and variation through strict data governance.
- A3: Emphasizes visual management, collaborative storytelling, and team consensus-building…

Pull/Push Theory
The three core components—or pillars—of the push-pull supply chain theory are the push process, the pull process, and the push-pull boundary.
.1. The Push Process (Forecast-Driven)
- Definition: Activities in the supply chain start before actual customer orders arrive.
- How it works: Companies use past sales data and market analytics to predict future demand. They buy raw materials and build products ahead of time.
- Goal: Achieve economies of scale and lower production costs through bulk manufacturing.
DMAIC is a five-phase, data-driven problem-solving framework used in Lean Six Sigma to improve, optimize, and stabilize existing business processes. The acronym stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control
Define
- Identify the core problem, project goals, and customer requirements.
- Write a project charter and map out the initial process.
Measure
- Collect data to find out how the process performs right now.
- Build a baseline to see the size of the gap.
Analyze
- Look at the data to find the real root cause of the issue.
- Test ideas and remove extra waste or steps.
Improve
- Create and test new fixes for the problem.
- Put the best solutions in place to fix the root cause.
Control
- Watch the new process to make sure it keeps working well.
- Set up new rules so the old problems do not come back.
The Operational Theory: Push vs. Pull on Tubi
- The Pull Phase (Current State): Tubi operates primarily on a Pull System. They host content like Taleson an ad-supported (AVOD) model. The content sits in a digital inventory, but value is only created when a viewer clicks play. The viewer’s click serves as a Kanban signal (demand trigger) that pulls data from the server directly to their screen.
- The Push Phase (The Strategic Pivot): When viewership metrics explode, the data signals massive, guaranteed demand. The platform shifts to a Push System for that specific intellectual property. They invest heavily in creating or locking down Talescontent ahead of time, aggressively pushing it behind a premium subscription paywall (SVOD) because they have statistical confidence that the market will consume it.
PUSH VIEWERSHIP OF ‘TUBI-Tales’
Click Tubi App on your device, then search ’Tales’ and click ‘Tales Series’.
Share your views of ‘Tubi Tales’ on Social Media streaming services.
PULL DATA RESULTS THAT IMPACTS TRIGGERS
When the Cost-per-subscription Streaming Services move ‘Tubi Tales’ from an ad-based free platform to a Click-for-Cost-Subscription platform.
-As a collective, call Tubi to find out what’s the trigger amount to gain ‘Tubi’s Tales’ attention by subscription-streaming-services; then make movies and campaign for viewership that matches and exceeds that trigger number
-As an establishment, make several movies that reach the trigger number to gain attention, then make one movie that concludes all several movies, this captures the viewship of several successful movies and combines that number to exceed the trigger number to gain attention, instead triggers streaming platforms that are Cost-per-Subscribers…
Catapult Tubi Movies to a New Platform
Use this DATABASE of movies manage viewship clicks that trigger subscription-streamin-services to consider removing from rotation of ad-based free platform to a Cost-to-click platform.
Use the trigger base system to continue producing multiple movies that gain viewership, then combine viewership of all movies to create a Cult Classic following with one movie that CONCLUDES your or The Establishment’s entire genre
