Process Variation Reduction
Improvements in process performance can be realized through variation reduction efforts directed at either special cause or common cause variation. Special causes of variation generally receive immediate attention due to their unpredictable nature and the fact that sources of special … Continue reading
Make Supportable Decisions
Make decisions on hard data – Prioritize your #Lean #SixSigma and #Analytics projects with multi-objective decision analysis tools. #bigdata
Deming’s Continuous Improvement
The key to being successful, in whatever market you serve, is quality and productivity. – W. Edwards Deming #Lean #SixSigma Historically, Lean and Six Sigma were viewed as separate routes to continuous improvement. To achieve the maximum benefit, we must … Continue reading
A Successful Lean Six Sigma Program
When a #Lean #SixSigma Program does not deliver expected results, there usually is a lack of effective supporting processes and systems.
The 3 Faces of Lean Six Sigma
#Lean #SixSigma is a Metric, a Methodology and a Management System. Few have had exposure to Six Sigma as an overall management system.
Measurement System Bias
#Lean #SixSigma Measurement system accuracy is quantified by Bias – the difference between the average of the measurements to the true value.
Lean Six Sigma Measurement System Analysis
The Measurement System Process must be stable first to assess Bias (location), Precision (spread) & Linearity (constancy of bias & precision). #Lean #SixSigma
Components of Measurement System Error
Transactional #Lean #SixSigma measurement system error is the sum of several components – stability (consistency), Bias (location), Precision (spread) and Linearity (constancy of bias and precision).
Lean Six Sigma Measure Phase
If every Measurement System has error, how much error can be tolerated before the data is considered untrustworthy? #Lean #SixSigma
What data needs to be collected to drive Lean calculations?
Collect Lean Data for #ValueStreamMaps?, process step cycle times, wait times, inventory counts, batch sizes, throughputs. for Takt time calculations?, available process time and demand volume. #Lean #SixSigma
