Walk a GSM spike through DMAIC
Navigate a GSM variation problem through Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control decisions.
The pressure GSM is high on three machines, yarn cost is visible, and a global stitch-length change is tempting. The wrong lever can create width and shrinkage defects while appearing to solve weight. Framework DMAIC for textile process variation Move from problem definition to controlled fix in phases: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control. Shortcut Change stitch length everywhere. Less cost without new variation. No improvement phase is strong if the measure phase is weak. 01 Define 02 Measure 03 Improve Frame the problem Production says GSM is high and wants action before the next batch.
