Quality Function Quality Function DeploymentDeployment
A process of translating customer requirements into technical requirements during product development and production. QFD benefits companies through improved communication and teamwork between all constituencies in the value chain, such as between marketing and design, between design and manufacturing, and between purchasing and suppliers

1. Identify customer requirements.2. Identify technical requirements.3. Relate the customer requirements to the
technical requirements.4. Conduct an evaluation of competing
products or services.5. Evaluate technical requirements and
develop targets.6. Determine which technical requirements
to deploy in the remainder of the production/delivery process.

FlowchartsFlowcharts
A flowchart or process map identifies the sequence of activities or the flow of materials and information in a process. Flowcharts help the people involved in the process understand it much better and more objectively by providing a picture of the steps needed to accomplish a task.
Benefits of FlowchartsBenefits of Flowcharts
Shows unexpected complexity, Shows unexpected complexity, problem areas, redundancy, problem areas, redundancy, unnecessary loops, and where unnecessary loops, and where simplification may be possiblesimplification may be possible
Compares and contrasts actual versus Compares and contrasts actual versus ideal flow of a processideal flow of a process
Allows a team to reach agreement on Allows a team to reach agreement on process steps and identify activities process steps and identify activities that may impact performancethat may impact performance

Check SheetsCheck Sheets
Check sheets are special types of data collection forms in which the results may be interpreted on the form directly without additional processing.
Benefits of Check SheetsBenefits of Check Sheets
Creates easy-to-understand data Creates easy-to-understand data Builds, with each observation, a Builds, with each observation, a

HistogramsHistograms
Histograms provide clues about the characteristics of the parent population from which a sample is taken. Patterns that would be difficult to see in an ordinary table of numbers become apparent.
Benefits of HistogramsBenefits of Histograms
Displays large amounts of data that are Displays large amounts of data that are difficult to interpret in tabular formdifficult to interpret in tabular form

Pareto Diagrams Pareto Diagrams
A Pareto distribution is one in which the characteristics observed are ordered from largest frequency to smallest. A Pareto diagram is a histogram of the data from the largest frequency to the smallest.
Benefits of Pareto Benefits of Pareto DiagramsDiagrams

Displays the relative importance of Displays the relative importance of problems in a simple visual formatproblems in a simple visual format
Helps prevent “shifting the problem” Helps prevent “shifting the problem” where the solution removes some where the solution removes some causes but worsens otherscauses but worsens others
Cause-and-Effect Cause-and-Effect DiagramsDiagrams
A cause-and-effect diagram is a simple graphical method for presenting a chain of causes and effects and for sorting out causes and organizing relationships between variables.
Benefits of Cause and Effect Benefits of Cause and Effect DiagramsDiagrams
Enables a team to focus on the content of Enables a team to focus on the content of a problem, not on the history of the a problem, not on the history of the problem or differing personal interests of problem or differing personal interests of team membersteam members

Control ChartsControl Charts
Control charts show the performance and the variation of a process or some quality or productivity indicator over time in a graphical fashion that is easy to understand and interpret. They also identify process changes and trends over time and show the effects of corrective actions.
Benefits of Control Benefits of Control ChartsCharts

Poka-Yoke (Mistake-Poka-Yoke (Mistake-Proofing) Proofing)
An approach for mistake-proofing An approach for mistake-proofing processes using automatic devices or processes using automatic devices or methods to avoid simple human or methods to avoid simple human or machine error, such as forgetfulness, machine error, such as forgetfulness, misunderstanding, errors in misunderstanding, errors in identification, lack of experience, identification, lack of experience, absentmindedness, delays, or absentmindedness, delays, or malfunctionsmalfunctions
Three Levels of Mistake-Three Levels of Mistake-ProofingProofing Design potential errors out of the product
or process – Eliminates any possibility that the error or defect might occur
Identify potential defects and stopping a process before the defect is produced – Requires time to stop a process and take corrective action.
Find defects that enter or leave a process – Eliminates wasted resources that would add value to nonconforming work, but clearly results in scrap or rework.

Kaizen BlitzKaizen Blitz
A kaizen blitz is an intense and rapid improvement process in which a team or a department throws all its resources into an improvement project over a short time period, as opposed to traditional kaizen applications, which are performed on a part-time basis.
Creativity and InnovationCreativity and Innovation
CreativityCreativity – the ability to discover – the ability to discover useful new relationships and useful new relationships and ideasideas
InnovationInnovation – practical – practical implementation of creative ideasimplementation of creative ideas
Fostering CreativityFostering Creativity
Remove or reduce obstacles to creativity.Remove or reduce obstacles to creativity. Match jobs to individuals’ creative abilities. Tolerate failures and establish direction. Improve motivation to increase productivity
and solve problems creatively. Enhance the self-esteem and build the
confidence of organization members. Improve communication so that ideas can be
better shared. Place highly creative people in special jobs
and provide training to take advantage of their creativity.
