Tactical Problem Solving: Maximize Organizational Effectiveness, Efficiency, Reliability and Profit
OVERVIEW
Tactical Problem Solving is an analytical approach used to identify and solve problems. Analysis is presented in the Seven Basic Tools of Quality in addition to advanced methods used to increase organizations effectiveness, efficiency andreliability.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Traditional methods of Process Improvement demonstrate high failure rates: Business Process Reengineering (BPR) 50% to 85%, Total Quality Management (TQM) 75% and Six Sigma 90%
Proactive methods used in Process Reliability Modeling (PRM) will identify organizational issues before they result in loss of revenue.
AREAS COVERED
Cause and Effect diagrams (Fishbone or Ishikawa Diagram)
The Ishikawa Fishbone Diagram (IFD) is a tool used to identify and present possible root causes to a problem. IFD was created by Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa; his method was popularized in early 1960s and used in the Kawasaki shipyards.
Check Sheets
A simple document created to collect data in real time. Data may be used to determine process capability and issues needing attention.
Control Charts
A graph used to study process variation over time. Data plotted includes individual process readings, Upper and Lower Control Limits.
Histogram
A special type of bar graph that shows the ‘shape’ of data in pictorial form. Shape includes symmetry and skewness.
Pareto Chart
The most common chart used by management; the Pareto is an ordered histogram that displays defects in order of frequency.
Scatter Diagram
Presents a visual picture of data usually two variables to determine correlation between variables.
Stratification Chart
A method used to separate masses of data into patterns we can see and understand.
