FMEA, RPN, and Process Sigma

When processes cycle infrequently the FMEA, RPN, and conversion to Process Sigma level provide the means to quantify the improvement. FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) is a powerful tool for identifying, defining, and quantifying root causes to operations issues. The RPN quantifies the impact of a potential root cause providing the means to rank the root causes. Converting the RPN into a Process Sigma Level is shown in a handy table.

Lean for the Office Clip – Creating the Perfect Day

Lean isnt just for the shop floor anymore. While Lean is most often thought of as a tool for improving manufacturing production, manufacturers who employ Kaizen in their offices routinely improve their productivity two- or threefold. Whether you work in human resources, purchasing, order entry, customer service, R & D or accounting, all administrative functions can be improved using the principles of Continuous Improvement. Once you and your employees realize that waste exists in these operations too, you and your team can begin to identify all of the opportunities for streamlining administrative processes to produce a significantly more efficient office. Let’s face it… there’s waste in ANY process. And who knows better how to remove that waste than the people doing the work everyday? But the challenge – and sometimes it seems an insurmountable one – is that employees in the office invariably believe “We work in an office. We’re not in manufacturing. Lean ideas don’t apply to us.” How then can you convince managers, supervisors, and front-line employees your offices world that they can and should look for the waste that’s right under our noses to find small, inexpensive ways to eliminate it? “Lean for the OfficeCreating the Perfect Day” is a 35-minute video which introduces and demonstrates Lean tools applied to all of these administrative operations and more.

PULL vs. PUSH By: Ma. Lourdes Carrillo and Myriam Jardon Edition: Myriam Jardon, Yordi Vargas Garibay The purpose of this video is to explain one of the differences between Push and Pull systems, which is level of inventory. The video shows huge inventory in the Push system, performed by Lourdes Carrillo, by a high level of inventory in packaged products. On the other hand, Pull system performed by Myriam Jardon has only one box. The details had the purpose of show some particularities of each system, for example the next mentioned. Wardrobe: Pull (Myriam Jardon) is dressed with a Kimono, this had the intention to stand out the origin of the system thats Japan with Taiichi Ohno. Whereas Push (Lourdes Carrillo) appears dressed with an occidental type, due to the fact that this system is the most used in the occidental production systems. Finally, it is worth to bring out that in the video, it is mentioned the different ways of production. The resources of the push system are provided to the customer based on forecast or schedules, while the Pull system produced only what the customer has actually consumed.
