| This TQM article is a continuation of the | | | | understand the extent of the loss for a |
| article titled: TQM Implementation Project | | | | period of last 12 months. The team managed to |
| published on 13-May-2006. This issue is part | | | | collate these data from the production log |
| 2a of the detail article on the subject. It | | | | sheet though manual, data are informative.In |
| will deal with the "How To" part of the | | | | the event data are not available, a data |
| ANALYZE phase of the D.A.I.C. methodology | | | | collection sheet needed to be designed to |
| described in the article. More detail | | | | capture relevant data. The format of the data |
| sequential steps will be explained as well as | | | | collection sheet will depends on the team |
| the use of the appropriate tools in this | | | | member but it should be as simple as |
| ANALYZE Phase. The scope of this article | | | | possible. Team leader need to assign a |

| Charting and Pareto Analysis.The ANALYZE | | | | what, where, when, who, how on data |

| | | | |
| This is a critical phase where the current | | | | With the data collected, team need to create |
| state of the subject matter as well as root | | | | a trend chart which is informative for the |
| causes of the problem will be analyzed in | | | | team to analysis. Simple trend chart such as |
| detail. This analysis is done systematically | | | | a line graph, bar graph will be useful. From |
| and logically as follows:-For the ease of | | | | the trend of the material loss, team can |
| illustration of this article, I would use one | | | | identify whether. From the overall loss |
| typical project as a case study. This is a | | | | data, team need to stratify the data to |
| Reduction of Material Loss project.To recap | | | | understand the "make up" of this overall |
| from my article "TQM Implementation Project: | | | | loss.Pareto Analysis |
| Part 1 DEFINE Phase, example of a "Problem | | | | |
| Statement" is described as follows:- | | | | From these loss components, team need to |
| | | | stratify them such a way that a Pareto Chart |
| - Current State : Material Loss level is 5 | | | | can be developed. As a Pareto Chart is a 80 |
| percent against a target of 2 percent | | | | 20 analytical tool, team will select the top |
| | | | 20 percent of the components that contributes |
| - Impact to Organization : The extra | | | | to the overall 80 percent of the loss.My next |
| material loss has cost the organization | | | | article will continue Part 2b of this ANALYZE |
| $200,000 per year in negative variation in | | | | Phase, i.e. to deal with Fish Bone Diagram |
