LEAN shouldn’t be only for big money companies! I’m very glad that small companies are interested to some…[Read more]

Vids,
I totally agree with Eric and Amit.
And what can you expect?
from minitab : “no main effect is aliased with any other main effect or two-factor interaction. Two-factor interactions are aliased with each other”.
Will this be enough to you?

Harsh,
In my opinion, DOE is the best solution, but as you mentioned as impossible, than regression may be quiet helpful.

A defect is a defect.
Waste is waste.
But waste can be consider a defect. Why not? “A defect is a failure to conform requirements” – Crosby ‘Quality Is Free’.
Why can’t we insert some waste in this sentence? To me, depending of the project) we can consider waste a defect.
Now back to other comments, when you say “because the cause of…[Read more]

What is Cost of Quality?
I believe you talking of Cost of no-Quality!
If is that so, the post from michael is ok to direct costs, but i think you should also look into inderect costs.

Sorry guys,
I simple just desagree with you (except Simon), cause does anyone knows what kind of process or defect you are comment?
Without knowing the process, is not correct to assume that waiting time couldn’t be a defect!
Some even mix waiting time with delay time?!
If a process consider that a part should wait 30 seconds (to dry, to heat…[Read more]

Hi Novicejoe
I believe that in your post, when you say circle time ~103min, you are meannig 103seconds, with machine idle time of 500 sec/hr, right?
If you take a good look to idle time, 500sec is 8,3min/hr. Provably this is due to changeover or set-ups. (do you have high complexity of parts?).
How many changeovers you perform in a hour? In…[Read more]

Guys, Come on!
This is suppost to be a good forum…

Hello,
Forgive if my english is not good.
My (and i think generally) TAKT TIME is calculated dividing avaiable time by costumer needs. TAKT TIME  = avaiable time / costumer needs.
 
This means that you should install or have a process capable to produce equal or under this value. Your process cicle time (actual) must be under or equal to T…[Read more]
