</p><p>Last week Google bought Motorola Mobility division for $12.1 Billion dollars. Such a massive deal all p0int to Google primarily interested in Motorola&#8217;s large patent chest as a way to protect the Android operating system. As this deal made the news, what I thought about was this: what else is Google getting?</p>
<h2>Six Sigma Trademark</h2>
<p>Motorola won the trademark on &#8220;Six Sigma&#8221; in 1993. History teaches us that Motorola invented the Six Sigma methodology and approach to reducing defects by attacking process variation. &#8220;Six Sigma&#8221;, the trademark, could very well be part of what Google just bought.</p>
<p>If that&#8217;s true, then Google will own the trademark to &#8220;Six Sigma&#8221;. Interesting. Then again, the use of <a title="google six sigma" href="http://www.shmula.com/my-interview-job-offer-from-google/31/">Six Sigma at Google</a> would be so surprising, since that is a requirement for many jobs there. Of course none of this really matters, but is only interesting insofar as patents and trademarks are interesting. The answer of which is not much at all.</p>
<p>Below is the trademark document for &#8220;Six Sigma&#8221; from the US Patent Office (USPTO):</p>

</p><p>The Six Sigma methodology is well rooted in statistics and statistical mathematics. Today, we&#8217;re not talking about the <a title="six sigma dmaic methodology" href="http://www.shmula.com/the-dmaic-framework/369/">DMAIC Methodology</a> or <a title="six sigma dmaic framework" href="http://www.shmula.com/lean-six-sigma-the-dmaic-framework/2874/">DMAIC Framework</a> of <a title="dmaic define" href="http://www.shmula.com/lean-six-sigma-elements-of-define/3231/">Define</a>, <a title="dmaic, measure" href="http://www.shmula.com/lean-six-sigma-elements-of-measure/3234/">Measure</a>, <a title="dmaic, analyze" href="http://www.shmula.com/lean-six-sigma-elements-of-analyze/3238/">Analyze</a>, <a title="dmaic, improve" href="http://www.shmula.com/lean-six-sigma-dmaic-improve/3241/">Improve</a>, or <a title="dmaic, control" href="http://www.shmula.com/lean-six-sigma-dmaic-control/3244/">Control</a>. Rather, we&#8217;re talking about the statistical definition of &#8220;Six Sigma&#8221;.</p>
<p>What does it mean to be &#8220;Six Sigma&#8221;? Six Sigma at many organizations simply means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. But the statistical implications of a Six Sigma program go well beyond the qualitative eradication of customer-perceptible defects. It&#8217;s a methodology that is well rooted in mathematics and statistics.</p>
<p>The objective of Six Sigma Quality is to reduce process output variation so that on a long term basis, which is the customer&#8217;s aggregate experience with our process over time, this will result in no more than 3.4 defect Parts Per Million (PPM) opportunities (or 3.4 Defects Per Million Opportunities – DPMO). For a process with only one specification limit (Upper or Lower), this results in six process standard deviations between the mean of the process and the customer&#8217;s specification limit (hence, 6 Sigma). For a process with two specification limits (Upper and Lower), this translates to slightly more than six process standard deviations between the mean and each specification limit such that the total defect rate corresponds to equivalent of six process standard deviations.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-9058 aligncenter" title="six_sigma_statistical_definition" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2011/08/six_sigma_statistical_definition.gif" alt="" width="491" height="235" /></p>
<p>Many processes are prone to being influenced by special and/or assignable causes that impact the overall performance of the process relative to the customer&#8217;s specification. That is, the overall performance of our process as the customer views it might be 3.4 DPMO (corresponding to Long Term performance of 4.5 Sigma).</p>
<p>However, our process could indeed be capable of producing a near perfect output (Short Term capability – also known as process entitlement – of 6 Sigma). The difference between the &#8220;best&#8221; a process can be, measured by Short Term process capability, and the customer&#8217;s aggregate experience (Long Term capability) is known as Shift depicted as Zshift or sshift.</p>
<p>For a &#8220;typical&#8221; process, the value of shift is 1.5; therefore, when one hears about &#8220;6 Sigma,&#8221; inherent in that statement is that the short term capability of the process is 6, the long term capability is 4.5 (3.4 DPMO – what the customer sees) with an assumed shift of 1.5. Typically, when reference is given using DPMO, it denotes the Long Term capability of the process, which is the customer&#8217;s experience.</p>
<p>The role of the Six Sigma professional is to quantify the process performance (Short Term and Long Term capability) and based on the true process entitlement and process shift, establish the right strategy to reach the established performance objective</p>
<p>As the process sigma value increases from zero to six, the variation of the process around the mean value decreases. With a high enough value of process sigma, the process approaches zero variation and is known as &#8216;zero defects.&#8217;</p>
<p>So, decrease your process variation (remember variance is the square of your process standard deviation) in order to increase your process sigma. The end result is greater customer satisfaction and lower costs.</p>

</p><p>Those involved in continuous improvement have one thing in common: our aim is to improve how things are done. That means that one common phenomena in processes is that there <em>was</em> a way of performing a task and a <em>new way</em> of performing a task. In any change process worth measuring, it&#8217;s important to determine through hypothesis testing whether there was a statistically significant change in the process. One common way to see if there was a statistically significant change in the process is to use the Paired T-Test.</p>
<h2>When to Use a Paired T-Test</h2>
<div id="attachment_8707" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 222px;">
<p><a href="http://www.sigmaxl.com/SigmaXL_Information_Shmula.htm" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-8707  " title="statistical-software-sigmaxl-image" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2011/05/statistical-software-sigmaxl-image.jpg" alt="statistical software sigmaxl" width="222" height="236" /></a></p>
<p class="wp-caption-text">Free SigmaXL Download</p>
</div>
<p>Suppose you run a call center. One metric most call centers monitor is Handle Time &#8211; or the total time a customer service representative is on the phone. Now, let&#8217;s assume you have 3 CSR&#8217;s and their average handle times were as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>CSR1: 434 Seconds</li>
<li>CSR2: 567 Seconds</li>
<li>CSR3: 123 Seconds</li>
</ul>
<p>Now, say you decide that the current process contains several steps that you consider to be waste; you identify those steps, and you make changes in the customer service process. After the change, those same CSR&#8217;s now have the following average handle times:</p>
<ul>
<li>CSR1: 987 Seconds</li>
<li>CSR2: 276 Seconds</li>
<li>CSR3: 877 Seconds</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=1350745" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-9038 aligncenter" title="free-lean-six-sigma-training-ad" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2011/08/free-lean-six-sigma-training-ad.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="423"></a></p>
<h2>Null Hypothesis</h2>
<p>But before you make any claims on the change process, it&#8217;s important to understand the Null Hypothesis in the case of a Paired T-Test.</p>
<p>For this example, our Null Hypothesis is that:</p>
<ul>
<li>There is no difference in the mean handle times before the process change and after the process change.</li>
</ul>
<p>Looking only at the before and after results doesn&#8217;t guarantee that there was a statistically significant change in the process, however. We use the Paired T-Test for that.<br />
Let&#8217;s use another example.</p>
<h2>Order Fulfillment Picking Process Change</h2>
<p>Picking is a process in Order Fulfillment. Now, suppose you manage the outbound department and Picking was a process you managed. Now, imagine that your pickers are measured by the Pick Rate, or the number of items picked per hour.</p>
<p>Because you are a diligent and motivated manager with skills in continuous improvement, you decide that as a team you would improve the picking process, with the hope of increasing Pick Rate with no change in labor. Below are the results of the process change:</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-9009 aligncenter" title="pick-rate-picking-process" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2011/08/pick-rate-picking-process.jpg" alt="pick rate picking process" width="538" height="281" /></p>
<p>In the table above, we have pick rates for the pickers before the process change and after the process change. We also calculate the mean and standard deviations before and after. Then, using excel, we simply do the standard calculations for a Paired T-Test, which gives us the results below:</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-9010 aligncenter" title="paired-t-test-results" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2011/08/paired-t-test-results.jpg" alt="" width="402" height="143" /></p>
<p>The data shows that we can reject the Null Hypothesis. In other words, we can reasonably conclude that the process change resulted in a statistically significant change in the mean pick rates of the pickers before and after.</p>
<h2>Paired T-Test Examples</h2>
<p>There are many example in business where you could use the Paired T-Test. Here are just a few:</p>
<ul>
<li>New drug efficacy (pain before and after, weight before and after, etc.)</li>
<li>Logistics &#8211; change in the mean time-in-transit from supplier to customer (change in route, trucker rest times, pedal acceleration, etc.)</li>
</ul>
<div>Think about your processes.

</p><p>Continuing our investigation into Crazy Correlations, today we look at a case that completely validates the mantra that correlation is definitely not causation; put another way, just because there appears to be a relationship between one event and another event, it doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean that they are related. Today we look at Kmart Jobs and Casey Anthony.</p>
<h2>Who is Casey Anthony?</h2>
<p>In all honesty, I am very clueless as to current media hype events. But, apparently, Casey Anthony is a person who allegedly killed her daughter. In the United States, this has been a big deal with news of the murder trial all over the television. Last week, I guess, Casey Anthony was found Not Guilty by the Jury and the court released from Jail. Anyway, that&#8217;s all I care to know. Moving on. Not quite yet. Writing this post was a bit painful because I truly don&#8217;t care who Casey Anthony is or the media circus surrounding her murder trial. But, her case does serve to illustrate something interesting about regression analysis. Anyways, I&#8217;ll suffer through the embarrassment in order to illustrate something about the regression model. What is really interesting is the relationship between the phrase &#8220;Casey Anthony&#8221; and &#8220;Kmart Jobs&#8221;:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-8923 aligncenter" title="casey-anthony-jose-baez" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2011/07/casey-anthony-jose-baez.jpg" alt="" width="582" height="342" /></p>
<p>The correlation coefficient or, R^2,  shows 0.9160 which means that almost all of the variation can be explained by the regression model. In other words, without any other context involved, there&#8217;s definitely a strong relationship between Casey Anthony and Kmart Jobs. But is this true? In all honesty, I don&#8217;t care and you probably don&#8217;t either. Here&#8217;s the point: just because there appears to be a strong relationship between one variable to another, that doesn&#8217;t really mean there are necessarily related. Unless of course Casey Anthony will be working at Kmart now that she&#8217;s out of jail. Previous Correlation exercises:</p>

</p><p>We know that the majority of keyword searches on Google are no longer single words, but phrases and, to a growing extent, phrases in conjunction with other phrases such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>lawn mower and honda</li>
<li>swimming pool and contractor</li>
<li>etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>And sometimes, a phrase is searched in conjunction with a location, which is our Crazy Correlation for today.</p>
<p>Using Google Correlate, I searched for the phrase &#8220;lean six sigma certification&#8221; and the surprising keyword phrase with a high correlation coefficient was &#8220;Doral Florida&#8221;. This might mean that a good percentage of professionals living in Doral Florida are interested in obtaining lean six sigma training and certification.</p>
<p>I validated this hunch with another Google tool called Google Insights for Search, which shows us keyword searches by location. And, the result validated the relationship between &#8220;lean six sigma certification&#8221; and &#8220;doral florida&#8221; as can be seen below:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-8797 aligncenter" title="lean-six-sigma-doral-florida" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2011/06/lean-six-sigma-doral-florida.jpg" alt="lean six sigma certification, doral florida" width="576" height="768" /></p>
<p>This relationship begs the question: what is going on in Doral Florida? What companies in Doral Florida have a demand for professionals with lean and six sigma experience?</p>
<p>This sparked my curiousity. So, I went to Indeed.com, a vertical search service for jobs. There, I searched for &#8220;lean six sigma&#8221; jobs in Doral Florida. Here&#8217;s what I found:</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-8800 aligncenter" title="lean-six-sigma-jobs-florida" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2011/06/lean-six-sigma-jobs-florida.jpg" alt="lean six sigma jobs" width="610" height="242" /></p>
<p>There were 64 jobs posted looking for lean six sigma professionals in Doral Florida. Based on the lean six sigma jobs search, Ryder, Watson Pharmaceuticals, and Hertz appear to be companies that are currently hiring professionals with lean six sigma experience.</p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>

</p><p>Not surprisingly, the term Black Belt has its roots in the exotic realm of martial arts. Like a person skilled in the Oriental sport of karate, the Six Sigma Black Belt is self-assured and knowledgeable, the result of intensive training and real-world experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=1350745"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8699" title="lean-training-six-sigma-certification-online-free-image" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2011/05/lean-training-six-sigma-certification-online-free-image1-e1306331271975.jpg" alt="lean training, lean certification, six sigma training, six sigma certification, online" width="610" height="358" /></a></p>
<p>Motorola, the company that holds the Six Sigma trademark, says the data-driven defect-reduction process has saved the company more than $16 billion over the past 15 years. Six Sigma has generated similarly stunning results at companies here and abroad in the manufacturing, transactional, and service sectors. All businesses &#8212; regardless of sector, size, or project &#8211; link their success to one factor. In Six Sigma parlance, it&#8217;s the Black Belt.</p>
<p>The term Black Belt refers to project leaders, skilled in the use of statistical methods and interpersonal communication, and dedicated to using Six Sigma methods to ensure customer satisfaction. Green Belts require less training than Black Belts and take responsibility for leading fewer projects, while Master Black Belts spend nearly all of their time consulting, mentoring, and training Green Belts and Black Belts.</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, the term Black Belt has its roots in the exotic realm of martial arts. Like a person skilled in the Oriental sport of karate, the Six Sigma Black Belt is self-assured and knowledgeable, the result of intensive training and real-world experience. The Six Sigma Black Belt is disciplined, purposeful, and decisive, able to lead highly focused efforts aimed at improving a company&#8217;s bottom line. And, to ensure continued improvement, the Black Belt works affirmatively to identify and mentor new Black Belts.</p>
<p>The evocative term is not without its detractors, however. For some, martial arts is synonymous with violence, attack mode, and bravado, all of which run counter to the term&#8217;s intended meaning: a methodically executed self-defense. Some companies have changed the names of their process improvement change leaders to move away from these images. Raytheon, for example, has replaced the words Black Belt with Expert, as in Six Sigma Expert and Six Sigma Master Expert. Mount Carmel Health System refers to Black Belts as Guides, and Master Black Belts as Master Guides. Countrywide Financial Corporation has left the Six Sigma and Belt terminology completely behind; instead, they refer to Master Black Belts, Black Belts and Green Belts as Gold, Silver, and Bronze certification levels, respectively. The Vanguard Group has even gone as far as to call their process improvement efforts &#8220;Unmatchable Excellence,&#8221; although much is based on the Six Sigma methodology.</p>
<p>While the late Bill Smith, a Motorola senior engineer and scientist, commonly gets credit for initiating the Six Sigma concept, the wordsmith who originated the belt argot is Dr. Mikel Harry. In 1986-1987 Harry, on authorized sabbatical from Motorola, spent three months at the Unisys Salt Lake Printed Circuit Facility, where he worked as a technical consultant with Unisys facility manager Clifford Ames. Harry&#8217;s mission was to solve a costly circuit board production problem.</p>
<p>According to Harry, once the problem was solved, Ames asked him to train others at Unisys. Harry referred to those he trained as process characterization experts, the term he had previously used for trainees at the Motorola Government Electronics Group. Harry remembers brainstorming with Ames to come up with something a little catchier. When Harry suggested Black Belts, Ames responded enthusiastically: &#8220;That&#8217;s sexy! I can sell that.&#8221; And the rest, as they say, is history.</p>
<p>Because a team approach is the norm among Motorola scientists and engineers, the belt-naming convention may appear to some to have occurred over time and osmotically among Motorola executives. However, Harry cites contracts, reports, and other artifacts that document the terminology&#8217;s introduction and implementation. The belt terminology, first articulated in a 1988 contract between Unisys and Harry, appears that same year in strategy papers from the first Unisys Black Belt trainees. Harry says he formally introduced the terminology to Motorola in a 1989 white paper, A Strategic Vision for Accelerating The Implementation of Six Sigma at Motorola, a paper he prepared for then CEO Robert Galvin.</p>
<p>By the early 1990s, the Black Belt nomenclature was hot. Recently retired Quality Director John Lupienski complements Harry&#8217;s version of the origins of Black Belt terminology in a time line Lupienski prepared for a 1990s Motorola Six Sigma presentation. Lupienski, who participated in Motorola&#8217;s first Quality Council meetings with Bill Smith and Jack Germain (Motorola&#8217;s first Vice President of Quality), says the Black Belt program began in 1990 with the organization of a DOE symposium committee. Additional Motorola employees who were present at this time verify these facts.</p>
<p>The following year, Harry established Motorola&#8217;s Six Sigma Research Institute, which he had proposed in his 1989 Strategic Vision white paper, and served as its founding Director and a senior member of the technical staff. The Institute, a research and testing site, offered a reasonable alternative to the factory floor for simulations and statistical problem solving. As the Institute&#8217;s Director, Harry relied on the Black Belt framework to move Six Sigma methodology across the corporation.</p>
<p>Harry successfully nurtured the Black Belt model, encouraging other companies to implement it in 1992. Harry says he persuaded those other companies &#8212; Texas Instruments, IBM, Kodak, Digital Equipment, and Asea Brown Boveri &#8212; to share expertise and work with Motorola and the Institute to craft a mutually beneficial training program.</p>
<p>David Hallowell, the Digital representative at that time, recalls the common Black Belt curriculum that the consortium identified, developed and piloted. The statistical part of the body of knowledge was easy to see, but a key insight was the inclusion of a healthy measure of soft skills to deal with the change management, business awareness, and team dynamics critical to real Six Sigma success. The Six Sigma Technical Institute was soon deploying that training for Black Belt candidates. By the end of 1992, the first half-dozen Six Sigma Black Belts had gained recognition in Asia and the United States.</p>
<p>The Black Belt jargon has stuck. In fact, an online Google search for Six Sigma generates a whopping 554,000 keyword matches, many of them about Black Belt training. Just as Six Sigma has outlived early skepticism about its long-term survival, the Green Belt/Black Belt/Master Black Belt designations have emerged as generally accepted business terminology.</p>

<p>In this post, we&#8217;ll cover the final phase of the DMAIC Methodology in Six Sigma, Control.</p>
<h2>DMAIC &#8211; Six Sigma &#8211; Control</h2>
<p>If you recall, the <a title="improve phase, six sigma, dmaic" href="http://www.shmula.com/lean-six-sigma-dmaic-improve/3241/">Improve Phase of DMAIC</a> focused on implementing the practical solutions to the root causes identified in the <a title="analyze phase, six sigma, dmaic" href="http://www.shmula.com/lean-six-sigma-elements-of-analyze/3238/">Analyze Phase of DMAIC</a>. In this phase of DMAIC, Control, we focus on verifying whether or not the changes we made in Improve led to the expected changes. Part of the Control Phase is also verifying how much improvement was made, if any at all.</p>
<p>Here are a few critical questions in the Control Phase:</p>
<ol>
<li>How do you know the problem has been reduced?</li>
<li>How do you know that the problem will not come back?</li>
<li>How do you know you are measuring the right process indicators?</li>
<li>What did you learn while leading the project?</li>
</ol>
<p>In general, the critical output in Control is a before/after chart as shown below:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3245 aligncenter" title="control-six-sigma" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/07/control-six-sigma.JPG" alt="control-six-sigma" width="581" height="187" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/bAm4BH" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-7149 aligncenter" title="ctq-tree-for-software-development" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/07/ctq-tree-for-software-development.jpg" alt="critical to quality, ctq tree, software development" width="583" height="297" /></a></p>
<p>Depending on the problem and the process, a <a title="six sigma, control chart" href="http://www.shmula.com/control-charts/3516/">Control Chart</a> showing the Pre-Intervention and Post-Intervention is a good way to demonstrate whether the changes made, made an impact or not.</p>
<p>In terms of the overall picture, the Control Phase might be visualized below:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-8046 aligncenter" title="dmaic-control" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/12/dmaic-control.jpg" alt="six sigma dmaic control" width="589" height="447" /></p>
<p>Part of the Control Phase Tollgate will be to also discuss what other problems might or should be considered next after the completion of you current project. And, a cost/benefit analysis is also important to complete at this step.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>In previous posts, we discussed the DMAIC Methodology in Six Sigma. We discuss the previous phases of DMAIC here:</p>
<ol>
<li><a title="dmaic, define phase" href="http://www.shmula.com/lean-six-sigma-elements-of-define/3231/">Define Phase</a>, <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">D</span></strong>MAIC</li>
<li><a title="dmaic, measure phase" href="http://www.shmula.com/lean-six-sigma-elements-of-measure/3234/">Measure Phase</a>, D<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">M</span></strong>AIC</li>
<li><a title="dmaic, analyze phase" href="http://www.shmula.com/lean-six-sigma-elements-of-analyze/3238/">Analyze Phase</a>, DM<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">A</span></strong>IC</li>
</ol>
<p>And in this post, we&#8217;ll discuss the Improve Phase of DMAIC.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s revisit, from a high-level, the DMAIC storyboard:</p>
<p>In Define, we discuss the problem and make sure to obtain agreement on the problem from the <a title="stakeholders" href="http://www.shmula.com/stakeholder-analysis/3276/">stakeholders</a>. In the Measure Phase, we discuss data collection methods, how to appropriately display information, and how to analyze and synthesize and decide where the team will focus their efforts in the next phase, the Analyze Phase. In the Analyze Phase, we discuss <a title="root cause analysis" href="http://www.shmula.com/jeff-bezos-5-why-exercise-root-cause-analysis-cause-and-effect-ishikawa-lean-thinking-six-sigma/987/">root cause analysis</a> and <a title="hypothesis testing" href="http://www.shmula.com/lean-six-sigma-hypothesis-testing-chi-square/7264/">hypothesis testing</a>.</p>
<p>In this phase, the Improve Phase, we assume that root causes were reached and some or most were validated. Given that context, below is the rough outline of the Improve Phase in DMAIC.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-7717 aligncenter" title="dmaic-improve-phase-six-sigma" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/07/dmaic-improve-phase-six-sigma.jpg" alt="dmaic, six sigma, improve phase" width="538" height="407" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/cRuxLB" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-7246 aligncenter" title="poka-yoke-human-error" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/11/poka-yoke-human-error.jpg" alt="poka yoke, mistake proof, error proof, poka yoke examples" width="406" height="233" /></a></p>
<p>Here are some questions that can drive the overall tone of the team in the Improve Phase:</p>
<ul>
<li>What possible actions or ideas will help us address the root cause(s) of the problem and achieve our goal?</li>
<li>Which of these ideas form workable potential solutions?</li>
<li>Which solution(s) will most likely achieve our goal with the least cost and disruption?</li>
<li>How do we test our chosen solution to ensure its effectiveness and then implement it permanently?</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3242 aligncenter" title="improve-six-sigma" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/07/improve-six-sigma.JPG" alt="improve-six-sigma" width="359" height="246" /></p>
<p>In the Improve Phase, the work is driven from the assumption that root causes were identified and verified. The next step is to utilize the following tools:</p>
<ol>
<li><a title="Solution Selection Matrix" href="http://www.shmula.com/dmaic-solution-selection-matrix/7718/">Solution Selection Matrix</a>: To brainstorm the potential practical methods to address the root causes.</li>
<li><a title="Action Plan" href="http://www.shmula.com/action-plan-template/7720/">Action Plan</a>: This is typically a Gantt Chart showing people responsible for which action item and a date by which it should be completed.</li>
<li>Barriers and Aids Diagram: This is an exercise that shows what the change management challenges might be for implementing the improvements &#8211; this will usually contain issues related to people.</li>
<li>Cost and Benefit Analysis that shows the cost of the project and the potential benefit. In most organizations, this step is completed by both the project lead and the Chief Financial Officer of the site Controller.</li>
</ol>
<p>For those familiar with <a title="lean manufacturing" href="http://www.shmula.com/category/lean/">Lean Manufacturing</a>, this step should remind you of PDCA &#8211; indeed, <a title="DMAIC came from the PDCA cycle" href="http://www.shmula.com/lean-and-six-sigma-pdca-and-dmaic-comparison/3179/">DMAIC came from the PDCA cycle</a>.</p>
<p>When the items above are completed, then the project team is ready to tollgate the Improve Phase. In the next section, we&#8217;ll discuss the last phase in the <a title="DMAIC" href="http://www.shmula.com/lean-six-sigma-the-dmaic-framework/2874/">DMAIC</a> Methodology, the Control Phase.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>In the DMAIC methodology of Six Sigma, parts of it are managed with standard project management tools, but within the context of an improvement project. The Action Plan, also called a Gantt Chart, is usually used in the Improve Phase, where the root causes are identified and the countermeasures have been decided.</p>
<p>Within the context of the DMAIC Six Sigma Methodology, the Action Plans catalogs all activities that must be performed to ensure successful implementation of the proposed solution(s). This includes the practical methods that were identified on the <a title="dmaic, solution selection matrix" href="http://www.shmula.com/7718/dmaic-solution-selection-matrix">Solutions Selection Matrix</a> and any solutions to barriers discovered in the Barriers &amp; Aids analysis that were not cancelled by offsetting aids.</p>
<p>Action Plans answer these basic questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Who?</li>
<li>What?</li>
<li>When?</li>
<li>Where?</li>
<li>How?</li>
</ul>
<p>Action Plans define an organized, effective implementation of selected solutions.</p>
<h2>DMAIC Action Plan Construction</h2>
<p>Below are some helpful steps in creating an action plan (within the context of a DMAIC project):</p>
<ol>
<li>Analyze the proposed improvement or solution and break it down into manageable steps</li>
<li>List the activities that must be done to ensure successful implementation of the improvements</li>
<li>For each activity, identify the resources needed / responsible for each step</li>
<li>List the remaining barriers from the barriers-and-aids analysis and any actions that can be taken to overcome these barriers (and who will do them)</li>
<li>Brainstorm, if necessary, for other items of possible significance</li>
<li>Add Due Dates for each activity</li>
<li>Track the status of each activity on the master list</li>
</ol>
<p>Below is an example of what an Action Plan might look like.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>As key tool in the Six Sigma DMAIC Methodology is the use of the Solution Selection Matrix. By contrast, this same approach in Lean Manufacturing is typically called a Countermeasures Matrix, which shows all the potential countermeasures for each root cause.</p>
<p>A solution selection matrix will contain the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>The problem we&#8217;re trying to solve.</li>
<li>The root causes attached to the problem, in a sideways branching tree diagram.</li>
<li>The practical solutions attached to each root cause &#8211; a root cause can have several practical solutions.</li>
</ol>
<p>Then, there can be a number of likert scale attributes to judge the effectiveness or feasibility of the proposed solutions.</p>
<p>A Solution Selection Matrix example is shown below:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-7719 aligncenter" title="solution-selection-matrix-dmaic" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/12/solution-selection-matrix-dmaic.jpg" alt="dmaic, solution selection matrix, countermeasure" width="563" height="237" /></p>
<p>This exercise should be done as a team, involving the right stakeholders and decision makers in order to be effective. This exercise can have the potential to create strong supporters or strong resistors, so take caution because going forward, we are thinking less and less about data, but more and more about people-related issues and making change happen in an organization.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The third Phase in the 6 Sigma DMAIC methodology is Analyze. Previously, we discussed the steps in the DMAIC <a title="dmaic, define phase" href="http://www.shmula.com/3231/lean-six-sigma-elements-of-define">Define Phase</a> and <a title="dmaic, measure phase" href="http://www.shmula.com/3234/lean-six-sigma-elements-of-measure">Measure Phase</a>. In the Define Phase, the focus is on agreement of what the problem is, it&#8217;s impact on customers, the firm, and with initial quantification of the &#8220;pain.&#8221; In the DMAIC Measure Phase of <a title="6 sigmas, six sigmas" href="http://www.shmula.com/2874/lean-six-sigma-the-dmaic-framework">6 Sigmas</a>, the focus is on data collection, to validate that what was thought of as a problem truly is a problem. In the Analyze Phase, the focus turns to identifying the root causes for the problems the firm, the customer, and the employees experience.</p>
<p>Below is a general roadmap of items to remember and satisfy in the DMAIC methodology of Six Sigma in the Analyze Phase.</p>
<h2>DMAIC: Analyze Phase Storyboard</h2>
<p>Visually,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3239   aligncenter" title="analyze-six-sigma" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/07/analyze-six-sigma.JPG" alt="analyze-six-sigma" width="359" height="245" /></p>

<h2>Lean Six Sigma: Goals for Analyze Phase</h2>
<p>The Analyze Phase in 6 Sigma is designed to accomplish the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use data to help focus the team on finding and verifying the true root causes of problems</li>
<li>Specific objectives for ANALYZE include: Perform Cause and Effect analysis on the problem</li>
<li>Continue analysis to the level of actionable root causes</li>
<li>Select the root causes with the greatest impact to improve the <a title="critical to quality, ctq" href="http://www.shmula.com/3255/critical-to-quality-ctq">CTQ</a></li>
<li>Verify the root causes with data using the appropriate tools and display the analysis and techniques used</li>
<li>Verified Root Causes will form the foundation for solutions in the Improve Phase – failing to find true root causes will cause you to take actions on the wrong things and miss the targeted improvement</li>
</ul>

<p>The DMAIC storyboard for the Analyze Phase above outlines the steps for us:</p>
<ol>
<li>Root Cause Analysis</li>
<li>Identify Root Causes</li>
<li>Create Test Plan to test each Root Cause (a Root Cause is also a Hypothesis)</li>
<li>Test Hypothesis (Test Root Causes) using statistical hypothesis testing</li>
<li>Tollgate to the DMAIC Steering Committee</li>
</ol>
<p>Some Common Tools used in the DMAIC Analyze Phase are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="affinity diagram" href="http://www.shmula.com/3262/affinity-diagram">Affinity Diagram</a></li>
<li><a title="prioritization, digraph" href="http://www.shmula.com/239/consensus-committees-paralysis-digraphs">Digraph</a></li>
<li><a title="root cause analysis" href="http://www.shmula.com/172/root-cause-analysis">Root Cause Analysis</a>, <a title="fishbone diagram" href="http://www.shmula.com/172/root-cause-analysis">Fishbone Diagram</a> / <a title="ishikawa diagram" href="http://www.shmula.com/172/root-cause-analysis">Ishikawa Diagram</a>, <a title="cause and effect diagram" href="http://www.shmula.com/172/root-cause-analysis">Cause and Effect Diagram</a></li>
</ul>
<p>When root causes are identified, we can consider those to be Hypothesis, which need to be validated or invalidated as true root causes. To verify our hypothesis, a few statistical tools are used:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="scatter plot" href="http://www.shmula.com/192/applied-regression-analysis">Scatter Plot</a> or <a title="regression analysis" href="http://www.shmula.com/192/applied-regression-analysis">Regression Analysis</a></li>
<li><a title="contingency table, six sigmas, 6 sigmas" href="http://www.shmula.com/7264/lean-six-sigma-hypothesis-testing-chi-square">Present / Not Present Matrix</a>, <a title="6 sigmas, six sigmas, contingency table" href="http://www.shmula.com/7264/lean-six-sigma-hypothesis-testing-chi-square">Contingency Table</a> (Chi Square Analysis)</li>
<li>And other methods of hypothesis testing (not covered in this post)</li>
</ul>
<p>Once a root cause is verified as a true root cause, then that paves the way for the Improve Phase in DMAIC, where we focus on practical solutions that will surgically attack the root causes we validated in the Analyze Phase.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Part of the Analyze Phase in the DMAIC <a title="6 sigmas, six sigmas" href="http://www.shmula.com/2874/lean-six-sigma-the-dmaic-framework">Six Sigmas</a> Methodology is to verify the potential root causes with hypothesis testing. One common hypothesis test is an application of the Chi Square Test called a Contingency Table, also called a Present / Not Present Matrix.</p>
<h2>What is a Contingency Table</h2>
<p>For something to be a root cause, the defect rate must be higher when root cause is present and the defect must be lower when this root cause absent. The easiest way to show this is to use 2&#215;2 grid and look for patterns.</p>
<p>The data on the grid will make it very clear if what you are looking at is a root cause of the defect that you are after or not. The grid is constructed so that you have a box containing four other boxes (2&#215;2).</p>
<p>On the rows, you add labels “root cause present” and “root cause absent” and across the columns, you label the columns “defect present” and “defect absent.” Then, you fill in the grid with data (numbers of observations).</p>
<p>You will have to go and look at some non-defective parts and see if your potential root cause is present or absent (you may already have data for your potential root cause from MEASURE, if not, you have to measure that too).</p>
<p>For a potential root cause to be considered verified by this tool, most of the data must be “on the diagonal.” This means that it will fall in the “defect present/root cause present” box and the “defect absent/root cause absent” box.</p>
<p>If it fits this pattern, then you can be confident that if you eliminate the root cause, then the defect will go away. If it does not fit this pattern, you  can use more advanced Statistical Tests to verify the root causes.</p>
<p>As an example, let&#8217;s assume the following:</p>
<p class="alert"><strong>Defect</strong>: Packages in Order Fulfillment are rejected by the Packing Scanner</p>
<p>And, during our data collection phase in Measure, we have data that shows the data below:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&amp;node=384082011&amp;tag=randombits-20" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-7362 aligncenter" title="black-friday-amazon" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/11/black-friday-amazon.jpg" alt="black friday amazon" width="300" height="250" /></a></p>

<p>Typically, they hypothesis takes the form of:</p>
<p class="alert">H<sub>0</sub>: there is no relationship between dirty shipping labels and packing scanner rejections<br />
H<sub>1</sub>: there is a relationship between dirty labels and packing scanner rejections</p>
<p>Given the data above, we follow this intermediate equation:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-7268 aligncenter" title="chi-square-equation" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/11/chi-square-equation.gif" alt="dmaic, chi square equation" width="305" height="51" /></p>
<p>Then, we follow the Chi-Square Equation:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-7269 aligncenter" title="chi-square-equation-dmaic" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/11/chi-square-equation-dmaic.gif" alt="chi square, dmaic, six sigmas, 6 sigmas" width="153" height="65" /></p>
<p>Which gives us the results below:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-7270 aligncenter" title="chi-square-six-sigmas-example" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/11/chi-square-six-sigmas-example.jpg" alt="6 sigmas, six sigmas, chi square example" width="574" height="386" /></p>
<p>Given the results above, we can conclude the following:</p>
<p class="alert">We Reject the Null Hypothesis</p>
<p>There are many possible applications of the contingency table. Think about your business, the defects that you deal with, and perhaps there might be an opportunity to apply the Chi-Square or Contingency Table to your process.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>This article is a follow-up to my article on <a title="justin bieber" href="http://www.shmula.com/6019/where-six-sigma-is-more-popular-than-justin-bieiber">Justin Bieber</a> and Six Sigma.</p>
<p>To the extent that search terms is a measure of intention and interest, Google Trends is helpful in identifying, by geography, the general interest of that population given the search term.</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, I decided to search on the term &#8220;Lean Six Sigma&#8221; and this is what I found:</p>
<blockquote><p>India is really interested in Lean Six Sigma and so is the United States, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates.</p>
<p>What is going on in India? Why is India so interested in Lean Six Sigma?</p>
<p>United Arab Emirates? &#8211; what&#8217;s going on there that they are so interested in Lean Six Sigma?</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6061 aligncenter" title="lean-six-sigma-training-india" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/10/lean-six-sigma-training-india4.jpg" alt="lean six sigma training india" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/a6qGZQ" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6042 aligncenter" title="certified-six-sigma-black-belt-handbook" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/11/certified-six-sigma-black-belt-handbook.jpg" alt="certified six sigma black belt handbook asq exam" width="549" height="202" /></a></p>
<p>Assuming the data above is correct AND that we can gauge interest and intention based on search term, the following world regions are most interested in the topic of &#8220;Lean Six Sigma&#8221;:</p>
<ol>
<li>India</li>
<li>United States</li>
<li>Singapore</li>
<li>United Arab Emirates</li>
<li>Canada</li>
<li>Australia</li>
<li>United Kingdom</li>
<li>France</li>
<li>Germany</li>
<li>Afghanistan</li>
</ol>
<p>On the one hand, I expected some of the above, but there are some countries that I was very surprised to see on the list, like Afghanistan.</p>
<h2>Lean Six Sigma in India</h2>
<p>So what is going on in India?</p>
<p>Without data to support my claims, we generally know that many back-office processes that were once performed in the United States have been outsourced to places like India, Philippines, and others. Often, this is called &#8220;Business Process Outsourcing&#8221; or BPO for short. This usually includes the following processes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Call Center, Contact Center, Help Desk</li>
<li>Payroll</li>
<li>Billing</li>
<li>Human Resources</li>
<li>Logistics</li>
<li>Financial, Planning, and Accounting (FP&amp;A)</li>
<li>Mortgage Processing</li>
<li>Medical Card Processing</li>
<li>Other Support Functions</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/cjLgCw" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6074 aligncenter" title="asq-quality-improvement-handbook-certification" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/10/asq-quality-improvement-handbook-certification.jpg" alt="ASQ Quality Improvement Handbook Certification" width="501" height="211" /></a></p>
<p>The general trend is to use a third party in a lower cost country to perform these support functions for the company.</p>
<p>And this makes sense: support functions like the ones I describe above are perfect processes for the implementation of Lean and Six Sigma. And with the massive outflow of these types of jobs from the United States and elsewhere to India, it makes sense that the demand and interest for Lean Training, Six Sigma Training, and Certification has grown correspondingly.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6062 aligncenter" title="lean-six-sigma-bangalore" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/10/lean-six-sigma-bangalore.jpg" alt="lean six sigma bangalore" width="575" height="205" /></p>
<p>By region in India, the following have the most interest in &#8220;Lean Six Sigma&#8221;:</p>
<ol>
<li>Bangalore</li>
<li>Chennai</li>
<li>Mumbai</li>
<li>Hyderabad</li>
<li>Delhi</li>
<li>Mahape</li>
</ol>
<p>If we overlayed the number of BPO companies in these locations, I believe that there will be a good match between the number of BPO companies and search interest from Google Trends.</p>
<p>Common Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Lean Six Sigma projects are typically on behalf of the client and can be the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Increase First Call Resolution [for client...]</li>
<li>Reduce inbound non-revenue generating contacts [for client...]</li>
<li>Improve CSAT (Customer Satisfaction) [for client...]</li>
<li>Improve Net Promoter Score (NPS) [for client...]</li>
</ul>
<p>From a historical perspective, below is a the search term &#8220;Lean Six Sigma&#8221; in India, over time, from 2004 to today:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6064 aligncenter" title="lean-six-sigma-india-growth" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/10/lean-six-sigma-india-growth.jpg" alt="lean six sigma india growth" width="587" height="185" /></p>
<p>Based on the chart above, there was a significant jump in interest for the term &#8220;Lean Six Sigma&#8221; around March 2009. I wonder what happened in March 2009 that led to that spike.</p>
<h2>Lean Six Sigma in the United States</h2>
<p>Second on the worldwide regional list for &#8220;Lean Six Sigma&#8221; is the United States.</p>
<p>The growth pattern for the search term &#8220;Lean Six Sigma&#8221; is very interesting for the United States:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6066 aligncenter" title="lean-six-sigma-growth-united-states-certification" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/10/lean-six-sigma-growth-united-states-certification.jpg" alt="lean six sigma growth united states training certification" width="610" height="151" /></p>
<p>An interesting pattern emerges for the search term &#8220;Lean Six Sigma&#8221; &#8211; there is a dip toward the end of the fiscal year and a big spike at the beginning of the proceeding fiscal year. I don&#8217;t know exactly what is driving that behavior, but my guess is that corporate budgets are depleted toward the end of the year and replenished at the beginning of the year and interest in Lean Training and Six Sigma Training follows the same pattern.</p>
<p>By region in the United States, below is the interest map for the search term &#8220;Lean Six Sigma&#8221;:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6068 aligncenter" title="lean-six-sigma-training-united-states" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/10/lean-six-sigma-training-united-states.jpg" alt="lean six sigma training united states" width="588" height="212" /></p>
<p>By Region in the United States, these are the areas that appear to show the most interest in &#8220;Lean Six Sigma&#8221;:</p>
<ol>
<li>Norfolk</li>
<li>Pensacola</li>
<li>Washington</li>
<li>Columbus</li>
<li>Rochester</li>
<li>San Antonio</li>
<li>Minneapolis</li>
<li>Dallas</li>
<li>San Diego</li>
<li>Atlanta</li>
</ol>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure what exactly is driving interest for Lean Six Sigma in these regions. My guess, though, for Norfolk and Pensacola is Government and the Armed Forces &#8211; Army, Navy, Marines &#8211; there is much interest and Lean Six Sigma activity within Government.</p>

</p><p><strong>Note</strong>: If you arrived here searching for Justin Bieber, I&#8217;m sorry but you&#8217;ll see geeky stuff about Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma instead. But, in the hope that I don&#8217;t dissappoint you, skip to the bottom of this article and you can get your Justin Bieber fix with him performing &#8220;Baby&#8221;.</p>
<h2>On to other News</h2>
<p>Assuming that worldwide search trends captures the interest and thoughts of a country, Google Trends is pretty helpful. Using Google Trends, we get some insight into what general worldwide regions are searching and one can compare search terms and view search volume as if we were navigating the intent of humans with a garmin gps.</p>
<h2>Where is Six Sigma More Popular Than Justin Bieber</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/cYlDMB" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6031 aligncenter" title="six-sigma-training-india-pakistan" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/10/six-sigma-training-india-pakistan.jpeg" alt="six sigma training india pakistan" width="333" height="355" /></a></p>
<p>Yup, In India, &#8220;Six Sigma&#8221; as a search term is more popular than &#8220;Justin Bieber&#8221; as a search term (<span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Six Sigma</strong></span><sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-6019-1' id='fnref-6019-1'>1</a></sup>, <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Justin Bieiber</strong></span>):</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-6023 aligncenter" title="six-sigma-justin-bieber" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/10/six-sigma-justin-bieber1.jpg" alt="justin bieber six sigma training" width="430" height="326" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://amzn.to/bk0dCO" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6036 alignright" style="margin: 5px;" title="justin-bieber-baby-shirtless" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/10/justin-bieber-baby-shirtless.jpg" alt="justin bieber baby shirtless" width="135" height="135" /></a>From this same chart, again assuming that search terms are a good way to capture the consciousness of a country, in Hong Kong and Pakistan, Six Sigma and Justin Bieber are competitively close. And, in Malaysia and the Philippines, Six Sigma is no match for Justin Bieber.</p>
<p>Look &#8211; even in Nigeria, Justin Bieber beats Six Sigma<sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-6019-2' id='fnref-6019-2'>2</a></sup> <sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-6019-3' id='fnref-6019-3'>3</a></sup> hands down.</p>
<p>What if we just looked at the worldwide trend for &#8220;Six Sigma&#8221;<sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-6019-4' id='fnref-6019-4'>4</a></sup> <sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-6019-5' id='fnref-6019-5'>5</a></sup> <sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-6019-6' id='fnref-6019-6'>6</a></sup> <sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-6019-7' id='fnref-6019-7'>7</a></sup> as a search term?</p>
<p>Using just &#8220;Six Sigma&#8221; <sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-6019-8' id='fnref-6019-8'>8</a></sup> <sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-6019-9' id='fnref-6019-9'>9</a></sup> <sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-6019-10' id='fnref-6019-10'>10</a></sup> <sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-6019-11' id='fnref-6019-11'>11</a></sup> <sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-6019-12' id='fnref-6019-12'>12</a></sup> <sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-6019-13' id='fnref-6019-13'>13</a></sup> <sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-6019-14' id='fnref-6019-14'>14</a></sup>, below is the worldwide trend:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/cYlDMB" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6042 aligncenter" title="certified-six-sigma-black-belt-handbook" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/11/certified-six-sigma-black-belt-handbook.jpg" alt="certified six sigma black belt handbook asq exam" width="549" height="202" /></a></p>

<p>From the chart above, the interest for the search term &#8220;Six Sigma&#8221; is declining. By geography, we get:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/9kPYq3" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6044 aligncenter" title="six-sigma-training-games" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/11/six-sigma-training-games.jpg" alt="six sigma training games simulations" width="576" height="213" /></a></p>

<p>From the perspective of interest by geography, the following search for the term &#8220;Six Sigma&#8221; in order of highest to lowest:</p>
<ol>
<li>India</li>
<li>Singapore</li>
<li>Hong Kong</li>
<li>Pakistan</li>
<li>Sri Lanka</li>
<li>United States</li>
<li>United Arab Emirates</li>
<li>Nigeria</li>
<li>Philippines</li>
<li>Malaysia</li>
</ol>
<p>At least half of the countries search for the term &#8220;Six Sigma&#8221; are in Asia. I imagine this is true because many of operations (back office operations and shared services) that were based in the United States and Europe have moved or will be moved to Asia based operations.</p>
<h2>It&#8217;s Your Turn</h2>
<p>What do you think of the Google search data above? Any insights I might have missed?</p>
<h2>Unrelated and Cheesy</h2>

<li id='fn-6019-1'>The Big Book of Six Sigma Training Games: Proven Ways to Teach Basic DMAIC Principles and Quality Improvement Tools is a great book that provides The quickest, easiest and most enjoyable way to get employees on track with Six Sigma concepts and tools. Each year Six Sigma methods save companies like Motorola, GE, Sony, and Microsoft billions that would have been lost to inefficiency in business processes. But learning Six Sigma methods can be a confusing experience, especially for people without a technical background. In this book, experienced Six Sigma trainer Chris Chen and Six Sigma Master Black Belt Hadley Roth take a proven, innovative approach to getting people from all experiential levels quickly up and running with basic Six Sigma concepts and tools. The latest in the hugely popular Big Book of Games series, The Big Book of Six Sigma Training Games features 50 games, exercises and activities that provide an enjoyable, non-intimidating way to: (a) Acquaint employees with Six Sigma&#8211;what it is, where it came from and what it can do for them and their companies, (b) Teach Six Sigma roles and organization, (c) Familiarize teams with DMAIC, as well as Failure Mode Effects Analysis, Pareto charts and other key improvement tools, (d) Gear teams up for success, (e) Help them identify problems in business processes and generate innovative solutions. All of the activities can be performed using common, everyday materials&#8211;such as playing cards, water, and paper clips&#8211;and each provides a thorough and enjoyable Six Sigma learning experience. <span class='footnotereverse'><a href='#fnref-6019-1'>&#8617;</a></span></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Producing high quality products and services is key for any organization that wishes to stay in business. Yet, from my individual experience (probably your experience as well), not enough priority is given to quality.</p>
<p>An important goal for any organization is to produce trouble-free products and services and delightful products and services.</p>
<blockquote><p>An important goal for any organization is to produce trouble-free products and services and delightful products and services.</p></blockquote>
<p>By doing so, loyalty is created, reduces costs, and allows the firm to further delight the customer through other offerings.</p>
<p>Deming postulated what I discuss above in what is now known as the Deming Chain Reaction:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5030 aligncenter" title="deming-chain-reaction" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/09/deming-chain-reaction.jpg" alt="" width="530" height="341" /></p>

<p>Deming&#8217;s point with the Deming Chain Reaction is to show how quality improvement impacts the bottom line.</p>
<blockquote><p>improve quality =&gt; decrease costs =&gt; improve productivity =&gt; decrease prices =&gt; increase market =&gt; stay in business =&gt; provide employment =&gt; return on investment</p></blockquote>
<p>Granted, his assumptions, at the time, was that competing on low price would increase sales, but that approach might not be the brand promise for some firms (Nordstrom&#8217;s and Zappos, for example).</p>
<p>Thinking of the Deming Chain Reaction, how might you apply this simple idea to your business?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The Problem Statement is deceptively simple. Yet, we know it is so difficult to write. Why? And how can we effectively write one that is convincing, rallies people around the cause, aligned and focues, and maintains momentum for the team after the inertia has worn off?</p>
<h2>Clutter</h2>
<p>Before I write about the elements of an effective Problem Statement, let me first address its common enemy: Clutter.</p>
<p>William Zinsser once wrote the following about writing well and the role of clutter:</p>
<blockquote><p>Clutter is the disease of American writing. We are a society strangling in unnecessary words, circular constructions, pompous frills and meaningless jargon.</p>
<p>Who can understand the viscous language of everyday American commerce and enterprise: the business letter, the interoffice memo, the corporation report, the notice from the bank explaining its latest &#8220;simplified&#8221; statement? What member of an insurance or medical plan can decipher the brochure that tells him what his costs and benefits are? What father or mother can put together a child&#8217;s toy—on Christmas Eve or any other eve—from the instructions on the box? Our national tendency is to inflate and thereby sound important. The airline pilot who announces that he is presently anticipating experiencing considerable precipitation wouldn&#8217;t dream of saying that it may rain. The sentence is too simple—there must be something wrong with it.</p>
<p>Perhaps a sentence is so excessively cluttered that the reader, hacking his way through the verbiage, simply doesn&#8217;t know what it means. Perhaps a sentence has been so shoddily constructed that the reader could read it in any of several ways. Perhaps the writer has switched pronouns in mid-sentence, or has switched tenses, so the reader loses track of who is talking or when the action took place. Perhaps Sentence B is not a logical sequel to Sentence A—the writer, in whose head the connection is clear, has not bothered to provide the missing link. Perhaps the writer has used an important word incorrectly by not taking the trouble to look it up.</p></blockquote>
<p>Then, Zinsser offers a solution:</p>
<blockquote><p>How can the rest of us achieve such enviable freedom from clutter? The answer is to clear our heads of clutter. Clear thinking becomes clear writing.</p></blockquote>
<p>Indeed, clear thinking becomes clear writing. So, get clear about your thinking.</p>
<h2>The Problem Statement</h2>
<p>I wanted to set the stage with Zinsser&#8217;s discussion on clutter because unclear writing is often the root cause for poorly-written problem statements. The upshot of a poorly-written problem statement is that the actual problem might actually be important and should be addressed, but if delivered poorly &#8211; or the story isn&#8217;t shared effectively &#8211; then, nobody will likely care.</p>
<h2>What Are We Solving For?</h2>
<p>We must frame the problem appropriately, setting the context for the audience that might not be familiar with the problem.</p>
<p>Here are a few elements that make for an effective problem statement:</p>
<ol>
<li>Focused and Concise: A problem statement should be based on fact and should be just a few sentences.</li>
<li>Create a sense of ownership for the team: creating ownership for the problem can be in the form of how it affects employees, the company, or morale.</li>
<li>Describe the symptoms in measurable terms, using measures such as money, time, customers affected, compliance regulations broken, or other important metrics.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Ineffective Problem Statements</h2>
<p>Here are few elements that make for ineffective problem statements:</p>
<ol>
<li>The problem statement assigns blame to a person, group, or &#8220;it&#8217;s not our fault&#8221; or &#8220;it&#8217;s their fault&#8221; statements.</li>
<li>The problem statement assigns cause.</li>
<li>The problem statement offers a solution.</li>
<li>The problem statement is too broad &#8211; boiling the ocean strategy.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Problem Statement Examples</h2>
<p>The examples below are considered effective problem statements and contain the elements I discuss above.</p>
<ol>
<li>Data gathered between 2/19/04 and 3/5/04 showed that 49% of total case replenishment time was spent in within-warehouse travel. Based on 2004 forecasted labor hours, we will spend approximately $4.5MM on within-warehouse travel costs.</li>
<li>For the western region fulfillment center, an average of 1749 shipments per day miss the 12 and 20 hour deadline for premium shipments. This equates to over 500,000 shipments per year &#8211; over 1/2 million customers that will receive their package later than promised.</li>
<li>In the southwestern call center, we received an average of 323 contacts about missing instructions for product Y in the last 27 days. Annually, this amounts to 4380 contacts at an average cost per contact of $6.75; these unnecessary contacts will cost the company almost $30,000 &#8211; money the company does not have to spend.</li>
</ol>

<h2>Cost of Doing Nothing</h2>
<p>One effective way to set the stage with a problem statement is by showing what will happen if nothing is done about the problem. This might be phrased like the following:</p>
<blockquote><p>For the previous 90 days, company x has documented 35 workplace recordable injuries, resulting in 250 hours of paid time off due to health-related reasons. If we do nothing, we can expect xyz more employees injuring themselves, possibly costing the company in xyz in productivity and abc in annual costs.</p></blockquote>
<h2>Practice Over Theory</h2>
<p>Like with most things in Lean Six Sigma, one learns from doing. So, go try it today and have your peers review and provide feedback.</p>

To establish a task’s capacity rate, simply:</p>
<ul>
<li>enter high-level descriptive information about a task (ID #, unit of measure and description),</li>
<li>enter a “minimum” and “maximum” number of minutes to complete a task unit, then</li>
<li>use sliders to enter percentage estimates for work volumes that fall within five equal time duration quintiles</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;Task Rate Calculator&#8221; will then generate the weighted average amount of time it takes to complete a given task unit, as well as the average number of task units that can be completed per hour. &#8220;Task Rate Calculator&#8221; provides you with helpful information and instruction for each requested piece of data, and allows you to enter Verification Notes to record how data was obtained and when. &#8220;Task Rate Calculator&#8221; also allows you to send data to any email address; once received, the emailed data can easily be copied and pasted into a spreadsheet to form the building blocks of effective performance analysis.</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Task Rate Calculator&#8221; is designed with the following audience in mind:</p>

<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s the description on iTunes:</p>
<blockquote><p>This new book emphasizes the introduction of a new blueprint, called TPS-Lean Six Sigma, for addressing the primary concerns of manufacturing and service in a more sustainable and humanized way. It leads to a High Performance Culture and allows employees to realize their full potential and contribute creatively while the organization benefits from increased profitability, market share, and customer satisfaction. By way of this book, Hubert Rampersad and Anwar El-Homsi are launching a revolutionary, holistic concept which actively has human capital embedded in Lean Six Sigma in a manner that not only stimulates commitment, integrity, work-life balance, passion, enjoyment at work and employee engagement but also stimulates individual and team learning in order to develop a motivated workforce and sustainable performance improvement and quality enhancement for the organization.</p></blockquote>

<h2>Sigmalator: The Six Sigma Value Calculator</h2>
<p>Yes, another six sigma value calculator.  Here&#8217;s their description:</p>
<blockquote><p><img class="size-full wp-image-5276 alignright" style="margin: 4px;" title="six-sigma-value-calculator-iphone-app" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/09/six-sigma-value-calculator-iphone-app.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="190" />Six Sigma is a set of strategies, tools, methods, and training programs proven in many industries to greatly improve work processes. This business management strategy began in manufacturing processes to eliminate defects (errors), but since has been broadly applied to a variety of industries including the airline industry and most recently, healthcare. In Six Sigma, a defect is broadly defined as anything that can lead to customer dissatisfaction.</p>
<p>The term “six sigma” is derived from a field of statistics known as process capability studies and comes from the idea that if there are six standard deviations between the average and the nearest defect, there will be practically no errors. Originally, it referred to the ability of manufacturing processes to produce a very high proportion of product within its specifications. Processes that operate with &#8220;six sigma quality&#8221; over the short term are assumed to produce long-term defect levels below 3.4 defects per million opportunities (DPMO). Six Sigma&#8217;s implicit goal is to improve all processes to that level of quality or better.</p>
<p><a href="http://amzn.to/b9NIEr" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-5312" title="all-in-1-charger-apple" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/10/all-in-1-charger-apple.jpg" alt="" width="226" height="272" /></a>The question is often asked, “What Sigma Level Are We?”. Sigmalator is designed to take the number of defects/errors in a process and calculate a sigma value.</p>
<p>Sigma Levels:<br />
Sigma levels represent the following long-term DPMO values:</p>
<ul>
<li>1 sigma = 690,000 DPMO = 31% efficiency</li>
<li>2 sigma = 308,000 DPMO = 69.2% efficiency</li>
<li>3 sigma = 66,800 DPMO = 93.32% efficiency</li>
<li>4 sigma = 6,210 DPMO = 99.379% efficiency</li>
<li>5 sigma = 230 DPMO = 99.9767% efficiency</li>
<li>6 sigma = 3.4 DPMO = 99.99966% efficiency</li>
</ul>
<p>To account for the real-life increase in process variation over time, an empirically-based 1.5 sigma shift is introduced into the calculation. This is based on the fact that a process that is normally distributed will have 3.4 parts per million beyond a point that is 4.5 standard deviations above or below the average. So the 3.4 DPMO of a &#8220;Six Sigma&#8221; process in fact corresponds to 4.5 sigmas, namely 6 sigmas minus the 1.5 sigma shift introduced to account for long-term variation.</p></blockquote>

<h2>Process Improvement Essentials</h2>
<p>This is a book as an iPhone App.  I haven&#8217;t read it, but is another resource for those on-the-go.</p>
<blockquote><p><img class="size-full wp-image-5279 alignright" style="margin: 4px;" title="process-improvement-iphone-app" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/09/process-improvement-iphone-app.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="193" />By James R. Persse, PhD</p>
<p>Published by O&#8217;Reilly Media (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596102173/)</p>
<p>Today, technology has become too much a part of overall corporate success for its effectiveness to be left to chance. The stakes are too high. Fortunately, the idea of &#8216;quality management&#8217; is being reinvigorated. In the last decade process programs have become more and more prevalent. And, out of all the available options, three have moved to the top of the chain. These three are:</p>
<ul>
<li>The 9001:2000 Quality Management Standard from the International Standards Organization;</li>
<li>The Capability Maturity Model Integration from the Software Engineering Institute; and</li>
<li> Six Sigma, a methodology for improvement shaped by companies such as Motorola, Honeywell, and General Electric.</li>
</ul>
<p>These recognized and proven quality programs are rising in popularity as more technology managers are looking for ways to help remove degrees of risk and uncertainty from their business equations, and to introduce methods of predictability that better ensure success.</p>
<p>Process Improvement Essentials combines the foundation needed to understand process improvement theory with the best practices to help individuals implement process improvement initiatives in their organization. The three leading programs: ISO 9001:2000, CMMI, and Six Sigma&#8211;amidst the buzz and hype&#8211;tend to get lumped together under a common label. This book delivers a combined guide to all three programs, compares their applicability, and then sets the foundation for further exploration. It&#8217;s a one-stop-shop designed to give you a working orientation to what the field is all about.</p>

<blockquote><p>The authoritative hands-on guide to putting the Six Sigma strategy into practice, written by Mikel Harry, co-founder of the Six Sigma Academy, and Don Linsenmann, the Six Sigma champion who helped to implement Six Sigma across DuPont’s eighteen business divisions.The ideal companion to Mikel Harry and Richard Schroeder’s national bestseller Six Sigma, THE SIX SIGMA FIELDBOOK takes readers inside the nuts and bolts of implementing the Six Sigma breakthrough strategy, showing readers how companies can streamline their operations, improve the quality of their products and services, and dramatically increase their profits.Based on DuPont’s multi-year unrolling of Six Sigma throughout the company’s global business divisions, THE SIX SIGMA FIELDBOOK discusses the opportunities, obstacles, and challenges DuPont faced in making the decision to embrace Six Sigma and attempting to adapt it to DuPont’s unique culture. DuPont Six Sigma champion Don Linsenmann reveals the tools DuPont’s managers needed to introduce and sustain Six Sigma quality at every level of the company, from the corner office of the executive boardroom to the factory level. DuPont used Six Sigma to help reshape their entire business model; as a result, they saved billions of dollars. Using as a framework DuPont’s successful multiyear implementation of Six Sigma across its business divisions, THE SIX SIGMA FIELDBOOK reveals the day-to-day obstacles and challenges managers face in coordinating its efforts to implement and sustain Six Sigma and offers a comprehensive road-map on how companies of all kinds can successfully apply Six Sigma methodology to increase profits and improve quality.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Abbott has voluntarily recalled its Similac Brand Baby Formula because evidence of beetle larvae has been found in several containers.</p>
<p>Imagine feeding your cute, little, adorable baby beetle larvae &#8211; yes, very gross and very upsetting and incredibly scary for mothers. I know the reaction in my household has been one of inconvenience, annoyance, and fear. My wife is not happy.</p>
<p>How does beetle larvae enter the production process and result in contaminated baby formula? What would their 5 Why exercise look like?</p>
<p><DIV style="padding: 2px; margin: 1em 1.5em 1em 0.5em; background: #FFFFA0 none repeat scroll 0% 0%; border: solid; border-width: thin; border-color: #AE9F44; display: block; float: left; width: 20em;"><DIV style="padding: 5px; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 9pt;">Amazon Mom</DIV><DIV style="background: #FFFFFF; padding: 0.5em; color: #0062A8;"><a title="amazon mom, dicount baby formula, discount infant formula, discount diapers, 2 day shipping" href="http://amzn.to/b9OxTG" target="_blank">Amazon Mom is a free membership program</a> aimed at helping parents and caregivers, from the prenatal days through    the toddler years, use Amazon to find all the products their family    needs.

As such, we buy A LOT of formula because Costco sells in bulk. That means a bunch of baby formula that we&#8217;ve bought is now waste. And, our infant, who is normally really happy, has been very irritable the last several weeks and has had a fever this week. Now, we are concerned whether her irritability and fever is related to the Abbott Similac Baby Formula. And more: how long has Abbott known about this infant formula beetle larvae contamination? If it&#8217;s been a while, then that means we&#8217;ve been feeding our baby contaminated baby formula FOR MONTHS!</p>
<p>From a reputation and branding perspective, is Abbott doing enough to win the hearts and wallets of mothers across America? Based on the numerous videos I&#8217;ve included on this post, there are some very, very, very mad and angry mothers.</p>
<p>Be sure to check out the videos below of moms speaking with Abbott Customer Service.</p>
<h2>Abbott Similac Recall Process</h2>
<p>So, I went to the Abbott website to check if the infant formula we have is contaminated with beetle larvae. Answer: yes, all of our infant formula is contaminated with beetle larvae.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5157 aligncenter" title="similac-baby-formula-recall" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/09/similac-baby-formula-recall.jpg" alt="" width="295" height="401" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/a2GRBF" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-5169 aligncenter" title="enfamil-baby-formula" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/09/enfamil-baby-formula.jpg" alt="" width="516" height="160" /></a></p>
<p>Great, several hundred dollars worth of our baby formula is now garbage. How can I get my money back?</p>
<p>Well, the next step is shown below:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5158 aligncenter" title="similac-recall" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/09/similac-recall.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="270" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/b9OxTG" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-5171 aligncenter" title="join-amazon-mom" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/09/join-amazon-mom.jpg" alt="" width="509" height="208" /></a></p>
<p>I completed a form with my address, lot number, and then Abbott will send me a FEDEX box where I will return all of our formula. Once Abbott receives the recalled infant formula, they will then reimburse us, which could take 4 &#8211; 6 weeks.</p>
<p><strong>More About the Abbott Similac Baby Formula Recall</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Abbott is initiating a proactive, voluntary recall of certain Similac-brand, powder infant formulas in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam and some countries in the Caribbean.</p>
<p>Abbott is recalling these products following an internal quality review, which detected the remote possibility of the presence of a small common beetle in the product produced in one production area in a single manufacturing facility. The United States Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) has determined that while the formula containing these beetles poses no immediate health risk, there is a possibility that infants who consume formula containing the beetles or their larvae, could experience symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort and refusal to eat as a result of small insect parts irritating the GI tract. If these symptoms persist for more than a few days, a physician should be consulted.</p>
<p>The recall of these powder infant formulas includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Certain Similac powder product lines offered in plastic containers.</li>
<li>Certain Similac powder product lines offered in 8-ounce, 12.4-ounce and 12.9-ounce cans.</li>
<li>To immediately find out if the product in your possession is included in this recall, parents and caregivers should visit www.similac.com/recall/lookup, and type in their lot number to determine if their product is affected, or call (888) 376-2054.</li>
</ul>
<p>No Abbott liquid infant formulas are impacted. Products not involved in the recall include all Abbott Nutrition liquid ready-to-feed and concentrated infant formulas and all powder and liquid specialty formulas, such as Similac Expert Care™ Alimentum®, Elecare ®, Similac Expert Care™ Neosure ®, Similac® Human Milk Fortifier, and metabolic formulas for inherited disorders.</p>
<h2>About the Recall</h2>
<p>The company is implementing a plan to address this matter in the affected manufacturing facility, which is expected to be completed shortly. No other facilities or products are involved in this recall.<br />
Abbott has consulted with the U.S. FDA regarding this recall.</p>
<h2>Information for Parents and Caregivers</h2>
<p>Products with affected lot numbers should be returned to Abbott at no cost to the consumer.<br />
Parents and caregivers can go to www.similac.com/recall/lookup or call Abbott&#8217;s consumer hotline, (888) 376-2054, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.</p>
<p>Both the website and the consumer hotline have specific details on how to complete the return process.<br />
Holger Liepmann, executive vice president, Abbott Nutrition said:</p>
<p>&#8220;Abbott understands that parents expect to feed their children only the highest quality product. We are taking this action so that parents know that the infant formula products they provide unquestionably meet the highest quality standards for which they are known.

</p><p>What motivates an individual and an organization is sometimes not aligned with the rewards system we put in place to encourage a higher level of performance. We see this dynamic in the cigarette sin tax situation where a higher sin tax does not lead to less smoking.</p>
<p>Thinking about the specific Lean Deployment or Six Sigma Implementation you&#8217;re involved in, what rewards system is in place to encourage a higher level of performance? Is that rewards system aligned to what is truly motivating the individual? The organization?</p>
<h2>What Motivates Us?</h2>
<p>In Daniel Pink&#8217;s book Drive, we learn that financial incentives rarely motivate people toward higher performance. Conversely, financial disincentives rarely dismotivate people from doing what they shouldn&#8217;t be doing.</p>
<p>Case in point: the cigarette sin tax. <sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-4936-1' id='fnref-4936-1'>1</a></sup></p>
<h2>The Cigarette Sin Tax</h2>
<p>The cigarette sin tax infographic below shows how much money the federal government and the state government is collecting from the cigarette sin tax. As you can see, as the cigarette sin tax increases, there is a negligible decrease in smoking. In fact, as the cigarette sin tax increases, we don&#8217;t see much of an affect on smoking cessation.</p>
<p>According to Daniel Pink, he argues that the common motivational tactic of &#8220;if you do X, you will get Y&#8221; doesn&#8217;t often work for knowledge workers. Or, in the case of smoking, &#8220;if you do X, you will have to pay Y&#8221; doesn&#8217;t work in reducing the behavior.</p>
<p>If money won&#8217;t help curb the behavior, then what will?</p>
<h2>How to Quit Smoking</h2>
<p>I don&#8217;t smoke, but I&#8217;ve helped people quit smoking while I was a service missionary in ghettos of Ohio. The idea of quitting a very addictive habit and the psychology involved in that is really interesting to me.</p>
<p>According to Daniel Pink, stopping a habit like smoking is better done with what he calls &#8220;implementation intentions&#8221;. Defined, Implementation Intentions are</p>
<blockquote><p>if-then plans that connect anticipated critical situations with responses that will be effective in accomplishing one’s goals.  Whereas … goals specify what one wants to do/achieve (i.e., “I intend to perform behavior X!”…), implementation intentions specify the behavior that one will perform in the service of goal achievement if the anticipated critical situation is actually encountered (i.e. “If situation Y occurs, then I will initiate goal-directed behavior Z!”).</p></blockquote>
<p>In other words, to stop smoking, the person needs more than just the goal of &#8220;I will Quit Smoking&#8221;. There must be the implementation intention of &#8220;how&#8221; one actually does it. Having the goal of &#8220;I will Quit Smoking&#8221; isn&#8217;t enough, but must be supported by intermediate goals of feeling-reaction, such as:</p>
<blockquote><p>I feel X, I will do Y</p></blockquote>
<p>In other words,</p>
<ul>
<li>If I get a craving, I will chew gum</li>
<li>If I get twitchy for a cigarette, I will distract myself</li>
<li>When I want an afternoon smoke break, I will do ten push-ups</li>
<li>When I feel stressed and need a cigarette, I will run up and down stairs</li>
<li>If a friend attempts to peer pressure me into smoking a cigarette, I will walk away and read a book or a magazine and not hang out with that person for a while</li>
</ul>
<p>The idea is simple, but takes the person from a moral-will  or from a simple will power perspective of &#8220;I will Quit Smoking&#8221; to a position where it is more practical and the future behavior has already been decided.</p>

<h2>Motivation and Lean Thinking</h2>
<p>It is important to be aware and plan for the motivations of why people and organizations are undertaking a Lean Deployment or Six Sigma Implementation. And, are the rewards you provide for successful completion of an A3 or a Six Sigma project monetary? If so, you might want to reconsider your rewards system to be more aligned to what is truly motivating that person from succeeding or reaching a higher level of performance.</p>

</p><p>The second phase in the Six Sigma Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) methodology is Measure. In a previous post, we discussed the <a title="lean six sigma, define phase, dmaic" href="http://www.shmula.com/3231/lean-six-sigma-elements-of-define">Define Phase</a> in the Six Sigma DMAIC Methodology.</p>
<p>During the Measure phase, the focus shifts from &#8220;do we agree that X is a problem&#8221; to &#8220;what&#8217;s the phenomena that is happening such that it is a problem?&#8221; For example, if a machine is failing, it would be good to know how often, when it&#8217;s failing, and other items related to the defect.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-3235 alignright" title="measure-six-sigma" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/07/measure-six-sigma.JPG" alt="measure-six-sigma" width="251" height="247" />In other words, collect data.</p>
<p>But, it&#8217;s not just data. It&#8217;s gut or hunch also.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I mean: often times, we begin with &#8220;hunch&#8221; or &#8220;gut&#8221; and that gives us a good place to start of where to collect data. Ideally, we want to marry our gut hunch with data.</p>
<h2>Lean Six Sigma: Purpose of Measure (DMAIC)</h2>
<ul>
<li>Through more detailed analysis, select a problem and problem space that will have the biggest impact on the organization and set an improvement target.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Lean Six Sigma: Tools used in Measure (DMAIC)</h2>
<p>In the Lean Six Sigma phase of Measure, these are often the tools that are used:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Not everything is important. For this reason, we need to prioritize so that we can channel energies and resources in the most prudent way.</p>
<p>The Prioritization Matrix is a simple tool that provides a way of sorting a diverse set of items into an order of importance. It also enables their relative importance to be identified by deriving a numerical value of the importance of each item. Which means that an item with a score of 344 is clearly higher in importance than an item with a score of 133.</p>
<p>There are many types of prioritization matrices, such as Quality Function Deployment, etc. Today, I&#8217;ll be covering the most practical and simple way to prioritize amongst many variables.</p>
<h2>When to use a Prioritization Matrix</h2>
<ul>
<li>Use it to prioritize complex or unclear issues, where there are multiple criteria for deciding importance.</li>
<li>Use it when there is data available to help score criteria and issues.</li>
<li>Use it to help select items to be actioned from a larger list of possible items.</li>
<li>When used with a group, it will help to gain agreement on priorities and key issues.</li>
<li>Use it, rather than simple Voting, when the extra effort that is required to find a more confident selection is considered to be worthwhile.</li>
</ul>

<h2>How to use a Prioritization Matrix</h2>
<ol>
<li>Identify the overall objective. For example, &#8216;Increase the profitability of the x, y, z product line.</li>
<li>Gather the people who are to work on the problem. They should, between them, understand the problem area and how items on the list may be judged.</li>
<li>Produce the list of items to be prioritized. This may be done using other tools, such as Brainstorming or Surveys.</li>
<li>Identify a list of criteria which may be used to judge how well each item on the list from step 3 serves the objective from step 1.</li>
<li>Approaches to identifying criteria may include:
<ul>
<li>Analyze the statement of objectives (e.g. What are the components of profit?).</li>
<li>Identify practical constraints (e.g. How easy is it to do?).</li>
<li>Consider the benefits, costs and risks.</li>
<li>Aim for criteria that can be measured objectively and easily, rather than subjectively or with difficulty.</li>
<li>Word the criteria such that it is clear that agreeing with them is desirable. Thus use &#8216;Low cost of ownership&#8217;, rather than &#8216;Ownership cost&#8217;.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Allocate a weighting number to each criterion to show their relative importance in achieving the overall objective. Thus a criterion with a number of 4 is twice as important as one with a number of 2. In general, these weights are arbitrary but should give you a sense of &#8220;gravity&#8221;.</li>
<li>When allocating numbers in a group, if consensus cannot be reached, give each person the same number of points to spread amongst the criteria or use some other Voting method.</li>
<li>Select the actual criteria to use against the list items to be prioritized. This may be done by:
<ul>
<li>Rejecting criteria which have an importance number which is much lower than others.</li>
<li>Reducing the number of criteria to a small and manageable number, typically around three, by selecting those with the highest importance number.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Define how the list items from step 3 will be scored against each of the criteria identified in step 6. Approaches to consider include:
<ul>
<li>Have a limited set of possible score values, with associated text to describe what they mean. Thus a score of 4 may mean &#8216;item strongly supports the criterion.</li>
<li>Use a Voting system, as in step 5, where each person has a fixed number of points to distribute across items.</li>
<li>Use negative scores for negative effects. An example is where the criterion is &#8216;reduces manufacturing cost&#8217;, but the list item actually increases manufacturing cost.</li>
<li>Use a percentage scale either for direct scoring or to convert the final score into a percentage. This makes it easier to deduce information, for example if one item has a score of 64%, it is clear that all other scores against this criterion total only 36%.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Score each item against each criterion, using the method identified in step 7.</li>
<li>If actual numerical values are available for these comparisons, translate the values into the same score range as identified in step 7. For example, if actual costs are available, but the scoring system uses a total of 100, then divide each cost by the total of all costs and multiply by 100.</li>
<li>Multiply each score from step 8 by the number allocated to the appropriate criterion in step 5 to get the weighted score for each item against each criterion, as in the figure below.</li>
<li>For each item, add up all of the weighted scores from step 8. This gives the final prioritizing score for each item. The scores may left as they are or converted to percentage values.</li>
<li>The final list of prioritized items may be made clearer for communication and decision making by sorting it into priority order and displaying it in a Pareto Chart.</li>

<h2>Plan-Do-Check-Act: A Scientific Approach to Problem Solving</h2>
<p>September 23 &#8211; October 21, Thursdays, 7:00 &#8211; 8:50 PM, Stanford University</p>
<p>From the Stanford University <a title="A3 course, stanford university" href="https://continuingstudies.stanford.edu/courses/course.php?cid=20101_BUS%20211">Course Website</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Most people have experienced organizations that can’t effectively deal with gaps between desired and actual performance. These organizations spend money, energy, and countless hours in meetings — and nothing improves. The problem: poor or inadequate decision-making processes. What’s the solution?</p>
<p>This course introduces the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach to problem solving. It is also known as the Deming Cycle or the “A3 approach” because it is often done on an A3-sized piece of paper (11&#8243; Å~ 17&#8243;). Because it is based on the scientific method, it teaches clear thinking and engages team members at all levels. It also increases the likelihood that the proposed countermeasures will be effective, because they’re based on facts and data gathered at the place where the work is performed, from the people who perform it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/98pjoT" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4171" title="a3-thinking-ad-unit" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/08/a3-thinking-ad-unit1.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>Students will explore the requirements of sound A3 thinking and management by following the stages of learning illustrated in the textbook. They will also develop their own abilities to recognize and create effective A3s. Participants will learn how to use the A3 as a management tool and gain experience in the three basic roles of the A3 process (author, responder, and coach). This course is geared to any managers who wish to lead and manage their organization more effectively, and those who wish to improve their critical thinking skills. This includes HR professionals who are looking to improve the behavior, alignment, and performance of the people in their organizations.</p>

<h2>Key Concepts of Lean in Healthcare</h2>
<p>October 11 &#8211; 12, 2010, Lean Enterprise Institute, Cambridge, MA</p>
<p>From the <a title="mark graban, lean enterprise institute, conference" href="http://www.lean.org/Workshops/WorkshopDescription.cfm?WorkshopEventId=73&amp;WorkshopId=37">Events website</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>This two-day workshop is designed for individuals and teams that want to gain a better understanding of the components and underlying philosophy of lean, and how the elements and philosophy work together to create a lean healthcare organization. This course is designed specifically for healthcare settings, incorporating examples from many departments and patient pathways.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/9mJ5BE" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4162" title="Lean-Hospitals-Improving-Quality-Patient-Safety-and-Employee-Satisfaction-ad-unit" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/08/Lean-Hospitals-Improving-Quality-Patient-Safety-and-Employee-Satisfaction-ad-unit.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>This course explains how the visible tools and methods of lean are based on a mindset, philosophy, and thought process. Special emphasis is placed on balancing Toyota’s equally-important core principles of continuous improvement and “respect for people.” Practical steps will be presented for starting with lean immediately upon returning to your healthcare organization, as well as a way of thinking through a longer-term lean strategy for your organization.</p>
</blockquote>

<h2>Kanban for Software Development</h2>
<ul>
<li>October 12 &#8211; 15, 2010, Hamburg, Germany</li>
<li>October 26, Warsaw, Poland</li>
<li>October 27, Paris France</li>
</ul>
<p>From the <a title="david anderson, kanban for software" href="http://agilemanagement.net/index.php/Blog/fall_autumn_schedule/">events website</a>:</p>
<p><strong>What is Kanban?</strong></p>
<p>Kanban is a new lightweight approach to software development that transfers principles from the Lean Production/Toyota-Production-System to the software development. In this context, two rules are defined:</p>
<ol>
<li> Each process takes work from the previous process (pull principle) in order to avoid overloading.<br /> Work in progress is restricted so that no expensive stocks accumulate.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Advantages of Kanban</strong></p>
<p>Kanban can be introduced with relatively little effort into existing software development environments and also works with a strong division of labor.</p>
<p>Moreover, Kanban delivers an useful perspective to consider the entire value chain beyond the pure software development. For this reason, Kanban is also interesting for companies which are for example already applying scrum successfully for the development.<br /> Agenda</p>
<p>We offer two day kanban trainings with David Anderson.</p>
<p>Each day covers a differnet module, so it´s possible to attend either day one or day two or both days (recommended)</p>

<h2>AME International Lean Conference</h2>
<p>November 15 &#8211; 19, 2010, Baltimore, Maryland (American Manufacturing Association)</p>
<p>This looks to be a really <a title="ame, american manufacturing association, lean conference" href="http://www.ameconference.org/2010-baltimore/whats-new/conference-highlights.html">great conference</a> this year with some amazing Keynote Speakers including:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Malcolm Gladwell</strong>: Malcolm Gladwell has an incomparable gift for interpreting new ideas in the social sciences and making them understandable, practical and valuable. In 2005, Time magazine named Malcolm one of its &#8220;100 Most Influential People&#8221;. His book, Outliers: The Story of Success, is having an even greater impact than his first two. In Outliers, Malcolm suggests an exciting new approach to helping people succeed by using the factors that really foster success. It debuted as a #1 bestseller for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The San Francisco Chronicle, Barnes &amp; Noble, and Publisher&#8217;s Weekly. He is the author of two other New York Times #1 bestsellers, The Tipping Point and Blink. With his first book, Malcolm embedded the concept of The Tipping Point in our everyday vocabulary and gave organizations new tools for understanding how trends work. In Blink, he analyzed first impressions-the snap judgements that we all make unconsciously and instinctively-and explores how we can master this important aspect of successful decision-making. Malcolm is a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine. His editor describes his work as a new genre of story, an idea-driven narrative focused on the everyday and combines research with material that&#8217;s more personal, social and historical. He now has another bestseller, What the Dog Saw, a compilation of essays from his writings in The New Yorker magazine. He was previously a reporter for the Washington Post.</li>

<li><strong>Howard Putnam</strong>: Author of The Winds of Turbulence on leadership and ethics and former CEO of Southwest Airlines, Howard Putnam inspires audiences to a greater vision and new insights. Southwest Airlines changed the way the game is played in the airline industry, creating a new model that focused on low costs, low fares and great customer service. The goal was to expand the size of the pie (market). They hired &#8220;attitudes&#8221; and developed skill sets. Tradition doesn&#8217;t always work in any industry. Sometimes you have to flip your model upside down for a fresh look. You have to have a clear and concise vision if you want your organization to survive and thrive through turbulence. A clear understanding of what business or businesses you are really in is critical. Cultures can then be developed to support the vision and business. Bottom line improvement comes through your people. Howard will share with you how successful organizations get through the maze.</li>

<h2>Value Stream Mapping for Healthcare</h2>
<p>October 14, Lean Enterprise Institute, Cambridge, MA</p>
<p>From the <a title="value stream mapping for healthcare" href="http://www.lean.org/Workshops/WorkshopDescription.cfm?WorkshopEventId=73&amp;WorkshopId=35">website</a>:</p>
<p>This interactive workshop demonstrates how to apply lean principles and value-stream mapping, a fundamental and critical tool, to accomplish what many healthcare organizations find difficult to do: make fundamental improvements in their clinical/administrative processes. You will see how the key elements of lean thinking and value-stream mapping apply to the primary and secondary processes of healthcare organizations, such as emergency medical care, pharmacy, diagnostic procedures (lab and radiology), sterile processing, case management and patient registration, discharge, records and billing. By learning to identify key processes to tackle, draw an accurate current-state map of each process, apply lean principles to envision a leaner future-state for each process, and implement the future-state in a way that can be sustained, you will develop a methodology that leads to improved outcomes and true continuous improvement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>A Check Sheet is one of the Seven (7) Basic Quality Tools. A Check Sheet is a simple tool for data collection. In this post, I&#8217;ll show how to create and use a Check Sheet and provide some basic heuristics and common pitfalls of Check Sheet and data collection overall.</p>
<p>A Check Sheet allows us to use a structured &amp;  standardized format for collecting defect information:</p>
<ul>
<li>Minimizes the chance that different people will collect the data in the different ways</li>
<li>Forces the team to consciously think about what data they want to collect, why they want to collect it, and what they plan to do with the data once collected</li>
</ul>
<h2>What is a Check Sheet</h2>
<ul>
<li>Check sheets are data collection forms constructed to record specific information about a process in a organized manner</li>
<li>Check sheets are designed to answer the question “How often does this event occur and under what conditions?”</li>
<li>Check sheets can be used either to support conclusions concerning a process on its own or may be a step in the process of assembling the data to support one of the other improvement tools</li>
</ul>
<h2>Elements of a Check Sheet</h2>
<ul>
<li> A description of what data is being collected – need to make sure that clear Operational Definitions are established for each variable being collected</li>
<li> Places to put the data (actual ease of data collection / recording needs to be as simple as possible – tally sheets work well)</li>
<li> Room for comments – both for the defect types and general (in case the data either does not fall into one of the pre-set categories or in case something special happens – e.g. a power failure &#8211; that needs to be documented)</li>
<li>Room for potential statistical data</li>
</ul>
<h2><a href="http://amzn.to/dqMEVr"></a></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/dqMEVr" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-3942 aligncenter" title="understanding-a3-thinking-sobek-art-smalley" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/08/understanding-a3-thinking-sobek-art-smalley.jpg" alt="" width="473" height="288" /></a></p>
<h2>Check Sheets &#8211; Key Points</h2>
<ul>
<li>Keep the form simple to use and understand; (the easier you make the sheet to use, the more likely you will get the data you need)</li>
<li>Include only information that you intend to use</li>
<li>Pilot or test the Check Sheet form before you use it on a full-scale basis &#8211; Make changes to it if necessary</li>
</ul>
<h2>How To Create a Check Sheet</h2>
<ul>
<li>As a team, brainstorm to determine the exact data to be collected and how this data will be organized into categories and then subcategories (taking the time to really think this through will greatly aid later on in the project)</li>
<li>Always stay focused on the improvement opportunity (what are you trying to learn about)  and keep asking yourself what you will use the data for</li>
<li>Develop exact Operational Definitions of each variable</li>
<li>Construct the data collection form or forms that will allow recording of the observations or events in their proper classifications as determined earlier</li>
<li>Test a draft copy of the check sheet by confirming that all possible observations or events may be recorded in one and only one place on the check sheet</li>
<li>Make necessary corrections to the check sheet</li>
<li>Collect the desired process data using the check sheet</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3933" title="lean-six-sigma-check-sheets-data-collection" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/08/lean-six-sigma-check-sheets-data-collection.jpg" alt="" width="459" height="228" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/9FbeY3" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-3938 aligncenter" title="uranium-ore" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/08/uranium-ore.jpg" alt="" width="358" height="212" /></a></p>
<h2>Check Sheets &#8211; Points to Remember</h2>
<ul>
<li>Allow extra space on the check sheet to record important observations not anticipated during the design of the check sheet</li>
<li>Determine and record the time period and other process conditions that will be fixed or constant during the observation</li>
<li>Make sure that the data form and the meaning of all the labels are understood equally and consistently by all team members</li>
<li>Allow enough time for all observations to be correctly made and recorded during the collection process</li>
<li>Remember, a check sheet provides only organized raw data.  It may be necessary to use another improvement tool to better interpret the results.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Check Sheets &#8211; Common Pitfalls</h2>
<ul>
<li>Measuring things that do not answer the question being asked</li>
<li>Inability to obtain sufficient sample size</li>
<li>Associates simply not taking measurements or collecting data (sometimes as a result of strong focus on “making their numbers”)</li>
<li>“Lost” check sheets – should keep track of how many are handed out and how many come back</li>
<li>“We can get that from the system” attitude – resulting in spending more time trying to query log files than it would take to manually collect the data</li>
<li>Poor Operational Definitions resulting in large amounts of “noise” in the data</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://www.shmula.com/your-baby-is-ugly/4177/" title="Permanent link to Your Baby is Ugly"><img class="post_image alignright" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/08/ugly-person-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" alt="baby pictures" /></a>
</p><p>No, we&#8217;re not talking about children or infants here. We&#8217;re talking about people who are so invested in their idea, business, and process, which results in hyper tunnel vision and they begin to believe the fantasy that their [enter "whatever" here] is the best and cannot get better. Calling that [thing] imperfect is analogous to calling someone&#8217;s baby ugly.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Because the person is so invested in their endeavor that they fail to see truth.</p>
<p>Here are some examples of Ugly Baby Syndrome:</p>
<ul>
<li>You build a product without identifying a problem to solve or a market need. You love you idea so much, but you continue to build something that nobody wants.</li>
<li>You manage a process in your business that you are very proud of; you believe it&#8217;s perfect and that it can&#8217;t be improved any further.</li>
<li>You own a business and have enjoyed market leadership for a long time; you don&#8217;t believe there are any competitors. You become complacent because you continue to believe &#8220;who will outsmart us? nobody can be better at what we do.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/bMuQ3t" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-4181 aligncenter" title="undercap-head-underpants" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/08/undercap-head-underpants.jpg" alt="" width="427" height="200" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>You manage a process where speed is a <a title="six sigma, dmaic, critical to quality, ctq" href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;cd=9&amp;ved=0CEMQFjAI&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shmula.com%2F3255%2Fcritical-to-quality-ctq&amp;ei=65l7TNeQMIK8lQe72JTsCw&amp;usg=AFQjCNE9yg5fMFcPd_pYBPiZW7_M8gloVA&amp;sig2=LKkJ-6O-rSEjtDJWbo357g">critical to quality</a> metric and you don&#8217;t believe you can deliver any faster.</li>
<li>You believe your creation is perfect and that nothing can penetrate its armor; but, the truth is that there are most likely chinks in the armor that you have failed to see.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you suffer from any of the above symptoms, then a dose of truth and humility is the cure. Most likely, what you believe is likely false. In other words, that baby you feel is so angelic and perfect, is most likely pretty average looking.</p>
<p>So, let go of your ego, acknowledge that nothing is perfect but the pursuit of perfection is an admirable trait, and get to work.</p>

</p><p>This is Part 4 of 6 of the Deming Red Bead Experiment Video Tutorial.</p>
<p>But, before we get to the Red Bead Video Tutorial, here are some famous quotes of Dr. W. Edwards Deming.</p>
<h2>Famous Quotes of Dr. W. Edwards Deming</h2>
<ol>
<ol>
<li>“Profit in business comes from repeat customers, customers that boast about your project or service, and that bring friends with them.”</li>
<li>“Quality is everyone&#8217;s responsibility.”</li>
<li>“If you can&#8217;t describe what you are doing as a process, you don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re doing.”</li>
<li>“You can not inspect quality into the product; it is already there.”</li>
<li>“Innovation comes from the producer &#8212; not from the customer.”</li>
<li>“It is not enough to do your best; you must know what to do, and then do your best.”</li>
</ol>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://amzn.to/cAiRlU" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3702" title="red-bead-experiment" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/08/red-bead-experiment.jpg" alt="" width="514" height="221" /></a></p>
<ol>
<ol>
<li>“Learning is not compulsory&#8230; neither is survival.”</li>
<li>“Confusing common causes with special causes will only make things worse.”</li>
<li>“The prevailing style of management must undergo transformation. A system can not understand itself. The transformation requires a view from outside.”</li>
<li>“If you stay in this world, you will never learn another one.”</li>
<li>“The result of long-term relationships is better and better quality, and lower and lower costs.”</li>
<li>“If you do not know how to ask the right question, you discover nothing.”</li>
<li>“We should work on our process, not the outcome of our processes.”</li>
<li>“Quality starts in the boardroom.”</li>
<li>“There is a penalty for ignorance. We are paying through the nose.”</li>
<li>“A manager of people needs to understand that all people are different. This is not ranking people. He needs to understand that the performance of anyone is governed largely by the system that he works in, the responsibility of management.”</li>
</ol>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://amzn.to/cAiRlU" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3702" title="red-bead-experiment" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/08/red-bead-experiment.jpg" alt="" width="514" height="221" /></a></p>
<ol>
<li>“A committee appointed by the President of a company will report what the President wishes to hear. Would they dare report otherwise?”</li>
<li>“Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality. Eliminate the need for inspection on a mass basis by building quality into the product in the first place”</li>
<li>“Break down barriers between departments. People in research, design, sales, and production must work as a team, to foresee problems of production and in use that may be encountered with the product or service.”</li>
<li>“Does experience help? NO! Not if we are doing the wrong things.”</li>
<li>“A system is a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the system. A system must have an aim. Without the aim, there is no system.”</li>
<li>“It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.”</li>
<li>“It is important that an aim never be defined in terms of activity or methods. It must always relate directly to how life is better for everyone&#8230; The aim of the system must be clear to everyone in the system. The aim must include plans for the future. The aim is a value judgment.”</li>
<li>“The job can&#8217;t be finished only improved to please the customer.”</li>
<li>“The average American worker has fifty interruptions a day, of which seventy percent have nothing to do with work.”</li>
<li>“The customer is the most important part of the production line.”</li>
<li>“When asked what single event was most helpful in developing the Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein replied, &#8216;Figuring out how to think about the problem&#8217;.”</li>

</p><p>This is Part 3 of the Deming Red Bead Experiment Video Tutorial.</p>
<p>But, before the tutorial, below is a biography of Dr. W. Edwards Deming (credit to the deming.org), the creator of the Red Bead Experiment.</p>
<h2>Biography of Dr. W. Edwards Deming</h2>
<p>William Edwards Deming was born in Sioux City, Iowa on 14 October 1900 to William Albert Deming and Pluma Irene Edwards.</p>
<p>As an adult, he used the name W. Edwards Deming.</p>
<p>His brother, Robert Edwards was born on 11 May 1902; his sister, Elizabeth Marie, later Elizabeth Deming Hood was born on 21 January 1909.</p>
<p>The family lived at 121 Bluff Street in Sioux City. In 1904, they moved to the Edwards farm located in Polk City, between Ames and Des Moines. The farm was owned by Pluma’s father, Henry Coffin Edwards (Pluma’s mother, Elizabeth Grant, died when Pluma was young).</p>
<p><a href="http://amzn.to/cAiRlU" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3702" title="red-bead-experiment" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/08/red-bead-experiment.jpg" alt="" width="514" height="221" /></a></p>
<p>In an effort to encourage settlement in the West, the United States government granted parcels of land (usually 40 or 80 acres) to citizens who agreed to settle, farm or develop the land.</p>
<p>William Albert Deming filed on 40 acres in Camp Coulter, later named Powell, Wyoming. The family moved to Wyoming in 1907. They rented a house in Cody until they could build on their own land. William Albert learned that his parcel was poor, useless for farming.</p>
<p>Their first dwelling was a shelter, rectangular in shape (like a railroad box car), covered with tar paper, often referred to as a tar paper shack. Water was pumped from a well. There was little protection from the harsh weather. The family was often cold, hungry and in debt.</p>
<p>Eighty years later, on a visit to Powell, Dr. Deming learned that the 40 acres was still referred to as the Deming Addition.</p>
<p>Pluma Irene and William Albert Deming were well-educated and emphasized the importance of education to their children. Pluma had studied in San Francisco and was a musician. William Albert had studied mathematics and law. Young Ed Deming attended school in Powell and held odd jobs to help support the family.</p>
<p>In 1917, he enrolled in the University of Wyoming at Laramie. In 1921 he graduated with a B.S. in electrical engineering. In 1925, he received an M.S. from the University of Colorado and in 1928, a Ph.D. from Yale University. Both graduate degrees were in mathematics and mathematical physics.</p>
<p>Dr. Deming studied music theory, played several instruments and composed two masses, several canticles and an easily sung version of the Star Spangled Banner.</p>
<p>Dr. Deming married Agnes Bell in 1922 in Wyoming. Agnes and Ed had a daughter, Dorothy. Agnes died in 1930. Dr. Deming married Lola Elizabeth Shupe in 1932. They had two daughters, Diana and Linda. Dorothy died in 1984.</p>
<p>Dr. and Mrs. Deming lived in Washington, D. C. for the remainder of their lives in the house that they bought in 1936. With her family at her side, Mrs. Deming died on 25 June 1986. Dr. Deming, surrounded by his family, died at his home on 20 December 1993.<br />

</p><p>Part 1 explained the Red Bead Experiment. In Part 2, I&#8217;ll share the a video tutorial on the Red Bead Experiment &#8211; part 2 of that video series.</p>
<p>Before we get to the video, below are Dr. Deming&#8217;s Fourteen Points &#8211; the principles by which he practiced management and quality management.</p>
<h2>Deming Fourteen Points</h2>
<ol>
<ol>
<li>&#8220;Create constancy of purpose towards improvement&#8221;. Replace short-term reaction with long-term planning.</li>
<li>&#8220;Adopt the new philosophy&#8221;. The implication is that management should actually adopt his philosophy, rather than merely expect the workforce to do so.</li>
<li>&#8220;Cease dependence on inspection&#8221;. If variation is reduced, there is no need to inspect manufactured items for defects, because there won&#8217;t be any.</li>
<li>&#8220;Move towards a single supplier for any one item.&#8221; Multiple suppliers mean variation between feedstocks.</li>
<li>&#8220;Improve constantly and forever&#8221;. Constantly strive to reduce variation.</li>
</ol>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://amzn.to/cAiRlU" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3702" title="red-bead-experiment" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/08/red-bead-experiment.jpg" alt="" width="514" height="221" /></a></p>
<ol>
<ol>
<li>&#8220;Institute training on the job&#8221;. If people are inadequately trained, they will not all work the same way, and this will introduce variation.</li>
<li>&#8220;Institute leadership&#8221;. Deming makes a distinction between leadership and mere supervision. The latter is quota- and target-based.</li>
<li>&#8220;Drive out fear&#8221;. Deming sees management by fear as counter- productive in the long term, because it prevents workers from acting in the organisation&#8217;s best interests.</li>
<li>&#8220;Break down barriers between departments&#8221;. Another idea central to TQM is the concept of the &#8216;internal customer&#8217;, that each department serves not the management, but the other departments that use its outputs.</li>
</ol>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://amzn.to/cAiRlU" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3702" title="red-bead-experiment" src="http://www.shmula.com/http://www.shmula.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/2010/08/red-bead-experiment.jpg" alt="" width="514" height="221" /></a></p>
<ol>
<li>&#8220;Eliminate slogans&#8221;. Another central TQM idea is that it&#8217;s not people who make most mistakes &#8211; it&#8217;s the process they are working within. Harassing the workforce without improving the processes they use is counter-productive.</li>
<li>&#8220;Eliminate management by objectives&#8221;. Deming saw production targets as encouraging the delivery of poor-quality goods.</li>
<li>&#8220;Remove barriers to pride of workmanship&#8221;. Many of the other problems outlined reduce worker satisfaction.</li>
<li>&#8220;Institute education and self-improvement&#8221;.</li>
<li>&#8220;The transformation is everyone&#8217;s job&#8221;.</li>
</ol>
