Repeatable and Measurable - Module 4

The document discusses continuous improvement and quality control. It states that for a process to be improved it must be repeatable and measurable. Several approaches to continuous improvement are described, including a seven step process, a four step structured approach, Deming's PDCA cycle, and Six Sigma's DMAIC methodology. Finally, it discusses tools that can be used for continuous improvement such as flowcharts, checksheets, histograms, Pareto diagrams, cause-and-effect diagrams, scatter diagrams, control charts, and root cause analysis.

 Improvement means changing the performance to a new

REPEATABLE level. To be able to improve the process, it must be


repeatable and measurable.
AND
measurable Repeatability means that the process must recur over

time. The cycle may be long, as with the product
development process or it may be short, as with a
manufacturing operation or an order entry process.
 In other words, you need the ability to learn from both
successes and failures.

Improvement process
Seven steps for accelerated continuous improvement:
1. Focus and pinpoint;
2. Communicate;
3. Translate and link
4. Create a management action plan;
5. Improve processes;
6. Measure progress and provide feedback; and
7. Reinforce behavours and celebrate results.

A structured improvement approached, which
describes a logical, data- driven process for solving
problem, generally includes four key steps:

1. Redefining and analyzing the perceived problem


2. Generating ideas,
3. Evaluating ideas and selecting a workable solution and
4. Implementing the solution

can be learned and applied by everyone in an organization is the

Root cause analysis is an approach using statistical ,


quantative or qualitative tools to identify and understand
the root cause, or the source of a problem.
