  1. Student-Based Applied Research, SBAR John W. Sinn, QS Professor, BGSU Naj Ahmad, QS Student, BGSU Presented at the January 9, 2008 American Society for Quality, Toledo Section Dinner Meeting Topics • SBAR defined • Top 10 reasons for SBAR • Typical SBAR project anatomy • Infrastructural support, considerations • Opportunities, challenges

  2. SBAR Defined……. SBAR, at BGSU, is currently a modified co-op experience focused on applied research, in partnership with sponsor organization, and with added support and other features. Faculty Student SBAR Organizational Mentor Project Manager Broad-based interaction, dynamic, composing SBAR

  3. Faculty Student SBAR Organizational Mentor Project Manager SBAR Defined……. SBAR, at BGSU, is currently a modified co-op experience focused on applied research, in partnership with sponsor organization, and with added support and other features. Relationally…….. • SBAR engages all on the team, in ways which co-op does not, on applied research. • SBAR has a pre-determined project-focused agenda, not only student work experience. • SBAR is a longer term, continuing commitment, via the project team, for change. • SBAR provides a broader base of talent and resources focused on the project objectives.

  4. Top 10 Reasons For SBAR • Affordable, systematic, disciplined, value-adding, for organizational sponsor and others in mix. • Problem solving that develops critical thinking, leads to robust solutions. • “High end” leadership talent assists in change process, cultural paradigm shifts. • Involves faculty, student and organization mentor relationally as an innovative, creative dynamic. • Future opportunities are built—as trust and confidence grows—leading to new venues.

  5. Top 10 Reasons For SBAR • Stakeholders communicate through a team, using innovative technologies for change. • Documented through a “research report” reflective of documentation needed for change. • Win-Win approach for university and sponsoring organization. • Initiated by a customer proposal, iterative discussions and negotiations lead to contract. • Contracted services on a per hour basis, no benefits paid by sponsoring organization.

  6. SBAR Project Anatomy: Typical Objectives • General data gathering and documentation for SOP’s, work instructions, layouts, value stream mapping, process flow charts, and other related lean sigma foundations. • Improve quality with teams engaged in courses/training for credit and non-credit through BGSU, at graduate and undergraduate levels, focused on lean sigma initiatives. • Lean sigma data-based improvement, data collection, analysis, and experimentation, including assessment and acquisition of appropriate software systems for use. • Data-based documentation, lean sigma, assessing to determine and develop innovative systems/applications collaboratively for increasing robustness.

  7. SBAR Project Anatomy: Growing, Doing A Typical Project Assess project potentials Initial contact New projects being discussed Draft proposal initiated Phase III commences/ project results documented Student identified Phase II communication Contract signed, project commences Phase II commences Phase I communication Objectives tightened

  8. SBAR Project Anatomy:Documenting The Deliverables A multi-chapter “Research report” is typically built over time, to include: • Chapter 1: Introduction • Chapter 2: Review of Literature • Chapter 3: Methodology • Chapter 4: Project phases, findings • Chapter 5: Results, conclusions Developed as “mini thesis”…….documenting progress and improvement for all, assessment vehicle to assure project is on the mark.

  9. Opportunities, Challenges Academic benefits………opportunities • Support, guidance to learn valuable skills • Develop current and future professional skills • Earn while you learn, leadership • Flexible, consistent professional growth • Self investigation, growth, career exploration Industry benefits………opportunities • Applied research problem-solving approach • Seamless technology transfer, change • Project tied to resources on campus • Faculty input, with sponsor champion driving idea • Develop current future partnership, network

  10. Opportunities, Challenges SBAR applies to several areas………challenges • Manufacturing, base of all SBAR experience • Healthcare, Construction, Education, Government • Quality improvement, change, always a challenge QS curriculum is base of SBAR, offers challenges • Seven undergraduate, four graduate courses • Part of new Engineering Technology initiative • Lean sigma focused, project oriented, online teams • Certificates, credit and non-credit merge • Excel SW foundations, shifting to MS Project
