The projectised mantras of production management can be broadly identified as
- Define Measure, Analyze, Improve, Standardize (DMAIS). These projectised
mantras help in identifying, evaluating, and selecting the right improvement
solutions for managing a project. The mantras also help in iden tifying the
critical issues thus assisting the organization to adapt to the changes
introduced through the implementation of different solutions.

The phases associated with each projectised mantra of production management

are:

1. Define: benchmark, customer requirement, process flow map, quality

function deployment, project management plan
2. Measure: data collection, defect metrics, sampling
3. Analysis: cause and effect, failure modes and effect analysis, decision and
risk analysis,root cause analysis, reliability analysis
4. Improve: design of experiments, modeling, and robust design
5. Standardize: control charts, time series, procedural adherence, performance
