Will You Add? - TQM Implementation Project Part 5a - The Improve Phase, How To Do It
When you spend money on an advertisement you want to get the best return possible. To do that you need to get people to STOP and LOOK at your ad.After all, the purpose of your marketing is to deliver your message. And you can't deliver your marketing message if nobody pays attention to your marketing or advertising.Remember, people are busy and they're bombarded with thousands of commercial messages every day. So the odds of them giving your ad much attention are very small unless you give them a good reaso

Job seekers outside of the creative fields are now seeing the value of utilizing portfolios in their job search. Traditionally, only artists and writers have used portfolios when seeking freelance work. With job security less certain, workers need to continually update and enhance their skills, while keeping a record of what they’ve accomplished. Employers like to hire someone whose work they’ve seen. A portfolio can support a resume with concrete evidence of an applicant’s work.Showcase your accomplishments with
Just to recap, tools used in the IMPROVE Phase are listed below. I will deal with tools that are in bold:
Brainstorming of action / solution | Selection Grid | Benchmarking | Cost-Benefit Analysis | Control lot and testing | Pilot the action / solution | Force-Field Analysis | Prevention Planner
How to use Control Lot and Testing
This tool is particularly useful to verify if the corrective action / solution is able to meet the team's objective. It is also used to confirm certain control parameter of changes in process. If the control lot is to verify process capability, then the parameter of this control lot must meet the desire process capability as well.
Let’s see how to do it. In a coating line, the team has decided to change the belt speed of a conveyor line but not sure what level of speed is most optimized to obtain the best coating thickness control. A control lot in this case will be run with various speed adjusted manually. At each speed, the coating thickness is recorded. At the end of the control lot / testing, a correlation is done to verify which speed yield the most optimum coating thickness. All these test is done in a controlled environment.
Once the control lot is satisfied, record the optimized belt speed, them the team is ready for a larger lot in full production mode and some controlled environment.
Pilot the solution
Pilot run is a common practice for a new product resting. For this D.A.I.C. Methodology, we use it to double sure changes to the production parameters are well implemented. The objective if this tool is to implement the optimized belt speed during full production run. However, the volume of run is much lesser and more attention is given to ensure the new speed is communicated and set for the pilot production run.
As the production lot for the pilot run is more compared to a control lot, care should be given to ensure all new belt speed is set accordingly. Due to the fact that this is like a full production run, team need to put extra attention to any drastic changes to other production parameters. During the pilot run, team would record the effect of the pilot run in terms of coating thickness and other quality specifications. Once it is confirmed, it is considered as successful.
In summary, this IMPROVE PHASE Control lot and testing and Pilot the action / solution would be critical to prevent any unwanted element occurred when a solution is put in placed for production. This is the “hardware” of the solution. In most case, it can be tested and adjusted until satisfactory. However, this alone does not guarantee the success of the improvement project. The human factor or the "software” within the process must be addressed in order to ensure full implementation of the proposed solution. In my next article, I will share with you how this can be accomplished with the last two tools of the IMPROVE PHASE i.e. Force-Field Analysis and Prevention Planner

One of the most serious considerations in mining or collection of raw materials is the transporting of these resources to processing or market. Same for oil, natural gas or mining materials; costs of transportation are important in mining. Most mines still in business today are in very close proximity to major rail lines, even with all the regulations and rules that exist some mining still exists in the United States. An example is the Borax Mine near Dagget, CA. The Borax mine was moved from the Harmony Borax Works mine

As everyone knows Monster.com is the leader in job marketing. They provide an avenue for millions to post and read resumes. However there is a problem with these huge job searching companies. That is that when you are looking for a job in a specific area the first 10 or so jobs listed are national job listings. They have no relevance to you and waste your time being there. Why should we be subjected to viewing these? There is no reason.I recently have moved to West Virginia and started a career here. I have

Most importers have seen their businesses grow dramatically in the past years. The drop in the cost of overseas manufacturing coupled with the insatiable appetite of US consumers for more and cheaper goods has created a bonanza for the industry. Both large and small importers have seen the size of their orders - and revenues - grow dramatically. However, for any business to grow successfully in this industry it must be well capitalized, or have a source of financing.Let me give you an example. Let’s say that your
