Continual ImprovementContinual ImprovementOne of the most fundamental

elements of total quality.This concept applies to processes

and the people who are operating them as well as to the products resulting from the processes.

Rationale for Continual Rationale for Continual ImprovementImprovementContinual Improvement is

fundamental to success in the global market place.

Customer needs are not static; they change continually.

Management’s Role in Management’s Role in Continual ImprovementContinual ImprovementIn his book Juran on Leadership for

Quality, Joseph Juran writes:“ The picture of a company reaping big rewards through

quality improvement is incomplete unless it includes some realities that have been unwelcome to most upper managers. Chief among these realities is the fact that the upper managers must participate personally and extensively in the effort. It is not enough to establish policies, create awareness, and then leave all else to subordinates. That has been tried, over and over again, with disappointing results”.

Cont’d…Cont’d…Management should play necessary

role in continual improvement by doing the following:

• Establishing an organization-wide quality council.

• Working with the quality council.• Providing the necessary moral and

physical support.• Scheduling periodic progress reviews.• Building continual quality

improvement in to the regular reward system.

Customers Needs Change Customers Needs Change ContinuallyContinually

“ Quality improvement is needed for both kinds of quality: product features and freedom from deficiencies”.

Improvement Must Be Improvement Must Be ContinualContinual

“Improve constantly and forever the system of production and service. Improvement is not a one-time effort. Management is obligated to continually look for ways to reduce waste and improve quality”.

Improvement Is Not Putting Improvement Is Not Putting Out FiresOut Fires“Putting out fires is not

improvement. Finding a point out of control, finding the special cause and removing it is only putting the process back to where it was in the first place. It is not improvement of process”.

Collecting Meaningful DataCollecting Meaningful Data

Before collecting meaningful data, decide exactly

What data are needed How they can be best collected Where the data exists How they will be measured How you will know the data are

accurate

organizations attempting to solve symptoms rather than problems. Total quality tools will help in separating problems from causes.

Importance of Statistical Importance of Statistical ThinkingThinking

“Statistical thinking is critical to improvement of a system. Only by use of properly interpreted data can intelligent decisions be made”.

Improvement Can Be Improvement Can Be MeasuredMeasuredImprovement can be measured and monitored

by using performance indicators. Some of the examples are listed below:

Number of errors or defects Number of or level of need for repetitions of work tasks Efficiency indicators Number of delays Duration of a given procedure or activity Response time or cycle Useability/cost ratio Amount of overtime required Changes in work load Vulnerability of the system Level of criticalness Level of standardization Number of unfinished documents

Standardize the processStandardize the process• Identify the currently known best

practices and write them down• Test the best practices to determine

whether they are in fact the best, and improve them if there is room for improvement

• Make sure that everyone is using the newly standardized process

• Keep records of process performance, update them continually, and use to identify ways to improve the process even further on a continual basis

Goldratt’s Theory of Goldratt’s Theory of ConstraintsConstraintsAn approach to managing that helps

organizations continually improve.It is an intuitive (instinctive)

framework for managing organizations.

Starts with:◦1. clearly defined goals for the

organization.◦2. establishing measurements to

determine the impact of any action on those goals.

What Is So Different?What Is So Different?

Does not apply the traditional system for measuring results (profits)

Uses throughput, inventory, and operating expense.

Page 37: Continual Improvement Methods with Six Sigma, Lean, and Lean …pingliu/tec5133/resources/fa… · PPT file · Web view · 2016-04-25Lean Operations Lean=Lean Manufacturing=Lean

What’s Different?What’s Different?It is based on the assumption

that every organization faces constraints.

Greatest negative impact on performance is policies as opposed to materials and resources.

Goldratt Defines RestraintGoldratt Defines Restraint

“anything that limits an organization from achieving higher performance vis-à-vis (in comparison with) its goal.

How Is It Applied?How Is It Applied?Identify: any factor that tends to

constrain.

Exploit: how can the factor be turned into positive factors, eliminated, or circumvented.

CEDAC ApproachCEDAC ApproachCEDAC = cause-and-effect with

additional cards.3 conditions must exist for continual

improvement to occur.◦A reliable system (standardized and

reliable)◦A favorable environment (favorable to

improvement)◦Practicing as teams (Total Quality is

performed by teams. Teams must practice)

=LNtEW4DVRkE&feature=relatedIntroduced by Motorola in the

mid-1980’sPurpose: to improve the

performance process to where defects rate was 3.4 per million or less.

Designed for high volume production settings.

Six Step ProtocolSix Step Protocol1. Identify the product

characteristics wanted by customers.

2. Classify the characteristics in terms of their criticality.

3. Determine is the classified characteristics are controlled by part and/or process.

ProtocolProtocol4. Determine the maximum

allowable tolerance for each classified characteristic.

5. Determine the process variation for each classified characteristic.

6. Change the design of the product, process, or both to achieve Six Sigma performance.

Six Sigma: The NameSix Sigma: The NameFrom the concept of standard

deviation signified by lowercase Greek letter sigma: σ

Processes and outputs typically measure in their standard deviations from the mean (ideal point).

What Does That Mean?What Does That Mean?Most good companies operate

between 3 and 4 sigma.Or: 99.73% of process output will

fall between± 3 standard deviation at 3 sigma or 99.9937% at 4 sigma.

3 sigma operation will yield 2700 defective parts for every 1 million produced.

Six Sigma and Total Six Sigma and Total QualityQualitySix Sigma is an extension of Total

Quality.Six Sigma is a total quality

strategy, like all others, to achieve: superior performance, that is continually improved, forever.

Six Sigma is achieved by improving process performance.

concept thus lean manufacturing.Lean Operations: because it is

found to produce good results in both manufacturing AND service sectors.

deliver better services using less resources.

Doing more with less and doing it better.

Defining LeanDefining Lean

Based on the Toyota Production System (TPS).

Lean Operation: a better product is developed or a better service is delivered by using less of everything required.

get the right things, to the right place, at the right time, in the right amounts.
