QDD 019 Understanding the Purposes behind Kaizen

QDD 019 Understanding the Purposes behind Kaizen

Understanding the Purposes behind Kaizen

In the quality world, kaizen is a tool for continuous improvement under the umbrella of a Lean philosophy. The quality-tool kaizen is just one layer of a larger, overarching idea that we benefit from small, incremental improvements made consistently.

Kaizen as a tool involves all employees of the company toward continuous improvement. The way kaizen events are done helps to promote the continuous improvement philosophy throughout the business through its effect on culture, time, proof, and teamwork. We talk more about how this all fits together in the podcast.

MD 177 What Does the Next Generation of Maintenance Look Like?

MD 177 What Does the Next Generation of Maintenance Look Like?

“What is the next generation of maintenance?” The answer to that question lays squarely within our control. “As technology gives birth to new ways of working, those who are unable to access new technology will fall behind, while those with the resources needed to build and deploy it will enjoy ever greater success. “

AI will augment innate human traits like creativity and sensitivity in ways that will allow us to solve new problems and redefine the future of maintenance. In this session we’ll discuss how we all can take an active role in defining what the next generation of maintenance is, how it’s valued and how it’s done.

QDD 018 Fishbone Diagram: A Supertool to Understand Problems, Potential Solutions, and Goals

QDD 018 Fishbone Diagram: A Supertool to Understand Problems, Potential Solutions, and Goals

Fishbone Diagram: A Supertool to Understand Problems, Potential Solutions, and Goals

A Fishbone Diagram is named for its looks because it resembles the bones of a fish drawn on paper. Its less creative names are Cause-and-Effect Diagram and Ishikawa Diagram. It’s popularly known to help with root cause analysis. But, we can also use it to help with goals and to evaluate a potential solution.

Why is it a Supertool? Just creating its headings helps us to better define our question. Writing it out as a graphical organizer helps organize jumbled thoughts. And, when paired with a 5W2H approach and the 5-whys, it can help us dig to the root causes.

I’ve included some abbreviated examples of fishbone diagrams; click the thumbnail for a larger version (notice that my root causes follow the 5-whys). And, listen to the podcast (or read the transcript) to learn more about Fishbones and their construction and uses.

SOR 678 Wrapped Around the Axle

SOR 678 Wrapped Around the Axle

Wrapped Around the Axle

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss what it means to be ‘wrapped around the axle.’ It is one of those perfect analogies … especially for people who fall for imperfect analogies! Like that assuming that all we have to do is wait for ‘early failures’ to disappear before we get into to the ‘bottom part of the bathtub curve’ … really?
