Steps	Examples of tools
1 - Definition - identifying the problem to be addressed	Brainstorming - QQOCQP - affinity diagram
2 - Description of the problem	QQOCQP - Pareto diagram (20/80)  - affinity diagram
3 - Research and evaluation of the causes	Brainstorming -  Diagram Hishikawa
4 - Search and selection of solutions	Brainstorming - Decision Matrix - value analysis - tree diagram
5 - Implementation of the solution	Action plan - Pert - Gantt schedule
6 - Effects Monitoring	Log sheet -  Pareto diagram (20/80)
