i have a small project I’m interested in completing but I have an issue. I’m trying to work out the difference in time that a new process takes compared to an old process.
The new process is based on an electronic version of an inspection form. We inspect trucks for a living and have converted from paper copies to electronic however using paper these were left in a tray for anywhere from 1 min to 12-24 hours.
how can I start to compare the two processes
any advice?

If I want to know if I made a difference in the entire inspection process then it gets timed from the point where the inspection is requested to the point where the inspection is complete. If I want to know the effect of the computer then it is when the form is picked up to the time it is complete.

I’m guessing here but this looks like a “we’ve changed the process but forgot to see what it actually was before we implemented the change” or it’s pure homework!

new process already implemented
second answer is if the time the inspection paperwork is removed from the tray varies and fluctuates between 1 min and say 12 hours I’m thinking I just need a reasonable time limit to show progress. Yes?

AbztaffyboyParticipant@AbztaffyboyInclude @Abztaffyboy in your post and this person will

Because it was never dispatched we sent drivers home and the truck still sat there due to the communication varying from 1 min to a possible 12 hour

Andrew ParrParticipant@Andy-ParrInclude @Andy-Parr in your post and this person will

Presumably, the piece of paper isn’t the important output the actual output relates to the trucks so you should be able to get a measurement there.
Just my opinion.

There have been what Bill Hathaway from Moresteam refers to as “food Fights” on here. @Darth is the one you need to watch on the homework stuff. He is pretty cranky but he is old too.

His academic background is impressive which is probably the reason he is so tough on homework.

MBBinWIParticipant@MBBinWIInclude @MBBinWI in your post and this person will
be notified via email.@andy-parr, @mike-carnell: Sorry, it’s been a while. Very busy dealing with my own brood. Took on an NPD Dir role a couple of years back with a group of younger engineers who have little background/understanding of DfSS. So, I’ve been busy teaching them and they have been teaching me about commercial ovens and cooking equipment.
Best to you both, and to my friends at iSS.
