| This TQM article is a continuation of the article | | | | production line, the team decided to understand |
| titled: TQM Implementation Project published on | | | | the extent of the loss for a period of last 12 |
| 13-May-2006. This issue is part 2a of the detail | | | | months. The team managed to collate these data |
| article on the subject. It will deal with the "How | | | | from the production log sheet though manual, |
| To" part of the ANALYZE phase of the D.A.I.C. | | | | data are informative.In the event data are not |
| methodology described in the article. More detail | | | | available, a data collection sheet needed to be |
| sequential steps will be explained as well as the | | | | designed to capture relevant data. The format of |
| use of the appropriate tools in this ANALYZE | | | | the data collection sheet will depends on the team |
| Phase. The scope of this article will limit to Data | | | | member but it should be as simple as possible. |
| Collection, Trench Charting and Pareto | | | | Team leader need to assign a member to do the |
| Analysis.The ANALYZE Phase | | | | data collection, agree on what, where, when, who, |
| This is a critical phase where the current state of | | | | how on data collection.Trend Charting |
| the subject matter as well as root causes of the | | | | With the data collected, team need to create a |
| problem will be analyzed in detail. This analysis is | | | | trend chart which is informative for the team to |
| done systematically and logically as follows:-For | | | | analysis. Simple trend chart such as a line graph, |
| the ease of illustration of this article, I would use | | | | bar graph will be useful. From the trend of the |
| one typical project as a case study. This is a | | | | material loss, team can identify whether. From the |
| Reduction of Material Loss project.To recap from | | | | overall loss data, team need to stratify the data |
| my article "TQM Implementation Project: Part 1 | | | | to understand the "make up" of this overall |
| DEFINE Phase, example of a "Problem Statement" | | | | loss.Pareto Analysis |
| is described as follows:- | | | | From these loss components, team need to |
| - Current State : Material Loss level is 5 percent | | | | stratify them such a way that a Pareto Chart can |
| against a target of 2 percent | | | | be developed. As a Pareto Chart is a 80/20 |
| - Impact to Organization : The extra material loss | | | | analytical tool, team will select the top 20 percent |
| has cost the organization $200,000 per year in | | | | of the components that contributes to the overall |
| negative variation in profit margin | | | | 80 percent of the loss.My next article will continue |
| - Desire State : Material loss is reduced to 2 | | | | Part 2b of this ANALYZE Phase, i.e. to deal with |
