Patrick started the topic MRP, Lean Inventory Project – Where to Start? in the forum General 15 years, 7 months ago
I work for a mid-sized manufacturer of highly engineered assemblies (high mix, mid to low volume). We do some in-house manufacturing (machining of castings) and outsource the rest of the components from suppliers around the world. In 2006, a number of internal improvement teams worked on ‘reducing inventory’ and made no progress. Their ap…[Read more]

Patrick replied to the topic DFSS in new product development in the forum General 16 years ago
From my experience, it’s like asking whether one should tear down a house and build a new one in its place or make upgrades to make the rooms more functional.
My usual preference is to merge DFSS into a current process. I am familiar with product development processes that do a reasonable job of defining business processes and busi…[Read more] -
Patrick replied to the topic How to Determine Sample Size in the forum General 16 years, 2 months ago
Hi Manu,
Since your measurement is a continuous variable, I’m wondering if the following would work:
1. Determine the standard deviation (SD) of the sample measurements you’ve collected thus far.
2. Determine the degree of desired precision (P) for your assessment purposes (e.g., to the nearest 1 Newton? 5 Newtons? 10?)
3. Plug this…[Read more] -

I will have to coin a phrase for it but “thinking outside the box” is a good one or “its all hands to the pumps” followed closely by lots of daily management meetings about where its going wrong, then the panic is over and evryone retreats to their offices.

Patrick replied to the topic Challenging Six Sigma environments in the forum General 18 years, 4 months ago
I work for a telecommunications company that is implemeting SS. Considering that we sell a large range of products (bundled in more “custom” packages than you could believe), and that compared to a manufacturing environment our volume would be considered low (hundreds of orders per month, not even 1000 usually), I can relate to your…[Read more]

Patrick replied to the topic When should I use Six Sigma? in the forum General 18 years, 4 months ago
If you know what is causing your biggest problems (and in this case I mean you REALLY KNOW what your root causes are, as in they are very obvious – some people call these “nail in the tire” projects) you probably have a “just go do it” situation. Use some of the tools but don’t kill yourself trying to be too formal with the methodology.
If you…[Read more] -
Patrick replied to the topic Establishing a Six Sigma program in the forum General 18 years, 5 months ago
We are currently in the midst of the same type effort at my company. We are a telecommunications company, so some of the manufacturing specific tools and issues don’t apply to us, but we struggled with the same questions about certification.
We use a consultant to provide 6 days of GB training, and require each GB to complete at least 1 project…[Read more] -

Patrick replied to the topic Calculation of project benefits in the forum General 19 years, 4 months ago
Tie a business case into the results of your project. A good business case will address financial as well as non financial impacts over time.
For nnon financial impact just make sure that the benefit is linked to the clients objective and that the impact is measurable.

Barbara,
I’m not in a position to critique the Six Sigma Exchange conferences as I have not been to one yet. However, I surfed the site today and happened upon a few case studies about projects that seemed interesting… - Load More
