  1. Continuous Process Improvement Create a system for constant and continuous improvement

  2. Process Model

  3. Understand the Process: Variations are Major Enemies • Detecting mode (heavy dependence on inspection/testing/control): Fire fighting is not effective • Preventive mode (emphasis on “do it right the first time and all the time): Use FEEDBACK to take corrective actions so that the process can be continuously improved.

  4. Deming’s PDSA Cycle:Embedded in the Continuing System • Plan • Do • Check/Study • Act • Analyze • Plan again • …

  5. Problem Solving: A Continuous Effort • Identify problems as an opportunity • Analyze the problem: to find root causes • Develop optimal and cost effective solutions • Implement changes: system wide • Study the results: worked or not? Need adjustment? • Standardize solution: Keep problems from reoccurring.

  6. Process Improvement Strategy: Finding Cost Effective Solution • Control existing process: i.e., statistical process control (SPC) • Optimize the process: i.e., design of experiment (DOE) • Change the system: hardware, software and brainware • New system: machine, human, materials, method

  7. Six Sigma: Aim High

  8. Continuous Improvement • Build a quality (continuous improvement) culture. Positive and Constructive. • Drive out fear. • Provide organization-structural assurance for continuing feedback system. • Respond to customers needs and solve problems timely. • Standardize the procedure and continuously improve it.
