Neeraj:
You certainly need to start with identification of business performance drivers. These drivers are key measures of the business performance. Then look into reducing waste using Six Sigma or Lean principles. This will focus on the bottom line. In addition to reducing waste, you may look into expanding services innovatively.
With these…[Read more] -
Sorour replied to the topic Quality Manual – FMEA in the forum General 15 years, 10 months ago
Hi Neal – yes this is helpful thanks.
I guess the main point that I am arguing for is that if a business is executing FMEAs as part of its Quality Mgt system, then it should be documented.
Thanks

Sorour replied to the topic Difference Between LEAN vs. Six Sigma in the forum General 16 years ago
EdG: Thanks for sharing these three points of TPS, Thinking Production System. But, when you reduce the thinking from this TPS, what is left, Lean Thinking, or the Lean System, one without thinking, just doing.
That’s why TPS discourage layoffs, while with Lean Thinking, layoffs is the first expectation.

Sorour replied to the topic Benderized tolerance analysis in the forum General 16 years ago
Mr. Bender wrote a SAE paper in the 1960s about doing a statistical stack calculation to determine the expected overall dimension for sets of individual dimensional tolerances occurring in a linear path. His recommendation basically was to multiply the square root of the sum of the squared tolerance values by 1.5. Hence when a linear tolerance…[Read more]

No you cannot figure MMC bonus tolerance with runout.
Runout tolerances are always a constant values limiting the variation that a surface revolving about an axis causes a test indicator vary. -

Bill:
P value alone does not determine strength of the correlation. What is the r-sq. value, or the correlation coefficient? If that is small, it implies there is no correlation with 95% confidence.

Sorour replied to the topic How to calculate Ppk/Cpk for true position at MMC in the forum General 16 years, 3 months ago
Geometric tolerances i.e. Ø9.4-8.9 |⊕|Ø0.36Ⓜ|A|B|C| have a variable upper specification limit. That limit can be visualized by making a histogram with both distributions on the same graph, the one for the geometric tolerance and the one for feature size. The scale of the graph begins at 0 and at the geometric tolerance’s specified USL the size li…[Read more]

Mike:
I agree with you about inclusion of seven and many so called TQM tools in the Six Sigma tool box. By saying ‘beyond TQM’ did not mean to exclude TQM, I meant Six Sigma was built upon previously known tools. I hope it clarifies it.
Thanks for your comments,

Sorour replied to the topic Six Sigma/TQM – Which is Better? in the forum General 16 years, 3 months ago
Yes, the improvement initiative must become a culture. They require passionate hardwork in applying proven tools creatively, and a very direct and disciplined leader. One can either make a choice of copying somebody else’s successful practice, or learn from the successful practice and adapt to ones organization. We are too much tuned into…[Read more]

Sorour replied to the topic Six Sigma/TQM – Which is Better? in the forum General 16 years, 3 months ago
We lost track of “Six Sigma/TQM- Which is Better?”
The challenge with TQM was that it was poorly defined, meant different things to different people, and results were promised after three years, which was about the average stay of the Quality Manager on the job. People got tired of trying TQM, which eventually became a Total Quality Mess.

Sorour replied to the topic Downfalls of Six Sigma in the forum General 16 years, 4 months ago
I believe everyone involved in Six Sigma is responsible for its downfall from CEO, trainers, consultants, Champions, and Practitioners. We all jump onto something like Six Sigma and start applying in rote manner. We need to look at each project, decide what’s the efficient approach, and apply necessary tools to get desired results.
