Thanks you very much for the training and be sure that I’ll not hesitate for the Black Belt!
Thanks again for the quality of your presentation; I learn a lot during these days.

Thanks you again for the training. I’m looking forward to the black belt one.
Please keep me informed. The sooner I know the better, our procedures need some improvements.

Hi Yong
Just a quick note to let you know I have been thrown straight into (MSA) Gauge R&R. I do have an opportunity to carry out a full DMAIC project and I am managing to utilise some of the training you gave me.
Just thought you might be interested and I will keep you informed of my progress
Best regards

Dear René,
First of all, I’d like to thank you for the session. It was very interesting and since the first day, I go on with my vision helped by the LSS tools for the project I’d like to achieve. I remarked that the scope was too big and that I have now to define a smaller scope to be more efficient (thank you for this advice).
All the tools you give me will be a real help in my business. I have to admit that you are fully right with the idea of TEAM WORK, Communication and change management (but I was already aware of those last two)
I have to say that the atmosphere of work was very good.
Thank you.
Regards,
pierrot

To identify sources of variability using historical or current data:
Provides objective solutions to questions which are traditionally answered subjectively
Works for differences in means, or Variances (Standard Deviations), or proportions
§Lean operations display the following characteristics:
üThe elimination of non-value adding activity – waste
üOnly producing what is required, when it’s required
üClose links in the value chain including supply chain input (JIT)
üDoing things right first time
üEnsuring processes are robust
Y = f(x)
DOE was originally developed in 1930’s by Sir Ronald Fisher to improve agricultural methods Fisher used DOE to maximise the yield of agricultural crop (Y) by changing the key process inputs; fertilizers & seed type (x’s) he DOE approach allowed Fisher to understand the main effects of the inputs, and the interactions between the inputs which impact the process output
The objective is to logically organise changes to 2 or more input variables (x’s) and evaluate if any variable, or any combination of the variables, significantly affect the output (Y)
What is Design of Experiments?
A DOE is a set of tests on the process output with at least 2 process inputs, each set at 2 or more levels
The key principle behind the DOE technique is to create a perfectly balanced design which includes an equal combination of process settings
Consider the example below with 3 key process inputs, each set at the high end (1) and low end (0) of their respective specification (or process variation) limits
The key to world class flexibility and high quality is the ability to understand at a glance what is going on in the workplace. Visual Management helps everyone in the workplace become involved in monitoring progress and customer service. Visual Management guarantees increases in efficiency, quality levels, productivity, and reductions in man hrs on the job. VM not only makes problems obvious, it provides a means to solve them The purpose of VM is to make everybody’s job easier VM uses all 5 senses to create a simpler, self regulating facility, resulting in increased Quality, productivity and morale.
Pursue Perfection through Standardisation;
Now that improvements have been made it is important that they become the new STANDARD and the team do not fall back into the old ways of working. It does not stifle creativity, it enhances it.
