Root cause analysis

___________________ is a systematic process for identifying "root causes" of problems or events and an approach for responding to them. RCA is based on the basic idea that effective management requires more than merely "putting out fires" for problems that develop, but finding a way to prevent them.

Challenges to Continuous Improvement - The 20/60/20 Rule -

o 20% will buy in soon after you demonstrate a commitment to lean o 60% will take a wait and see approach looking for confirmation o 20% will never get on board and may even sabotage efforts

- Plan Do Check Act

Market Focus

o targeting a small market segment Concentrating resources on a narrow market or industry segment (ex health care)

Focus Group

Initiating Continuous Improvement - Process

you should run an improvement project to examine your current state and implement an improved future state.

two goals of using the A3 methodology

§ Solving problems using a thought process involving continual dialogue between the owner of an issue and others in the organization. § Making the process of problem solving transparent and teachable in order to create an organization populated with problem solvers.

Two critical reasons why a new future state is just the beginning are -

· All improvement projects have limited resources and cannot possibly create a process which will provide perfect performance at the lowest total cost · Reaching perfect performance, if possible, will always be temporary - the environment is constantly changing and all processes need to respond to these changes

Desired situation

· Describe a desired situation that reflects fixing the bad and leveraging the good in your current situations · What are the best practices and emerging trends

Benefits

· Describe the benefits in terms of improved capabilities and reduced costs · Consider all stakeholders to draw a link to one or more strategic initiatives

Cost

· Describe the costs of the project in terms of time and money · What are the one-time vs on-going costs? · Project team time · Steering committee time · Education time and costs · Food and beverages · Other costs - Travel, software, equipment, construction

Current situation

· Describe the current situation in terms of processes, poor performance and strategic initiatives · What is happening now

Statement of need

· Describe the gap between current and desired situation · What do you need to do · AKA Problem statement

Scope

· Describe the project boundaries · What is included and excluded?

Justification

· If justified, clearly state how the benefits exceed the costs · Which stakeholders will be impacted

An effective procedure will contain elements such as

· Purpose · Scope · People · Location · Resources · Customer · Measurement · Terms

Training may include skills developed through

· Software classes for the programs you use · Apprentice programs from community colleges · On-the-job learning with a supervisor or peer · Targeted classes on your standard procedures - often "practical" to be used immediately.

During Project Closure, you need to

· Tie up all loose ends · Harvest knowledge for use in future projects · Communicate the success to all stakeholders · Celebrate with your team

The "5-Whys" Analysis"

— A simple problem-solving technique that helps users get to the root of the problem quickly. It was made popular in the 1970's by the Toyota Production System. This strategy involves looking at a problem and asking "why" and "what caused this problem". Often the answer to the first "why" prompts a second "why" and so on—providing the basis for the "5-why" analysis.
