Problem solving, as it’s covered in this book, is the systematic investigation of a process to identify the root cause of the gap, taking corrective action to eliminate the gap, and keep the problem from occurring in the future.

• Understand work as a process
• Identify important problems to work on

Teams have often learned about the tools apart from the context of a problem-solving situation. The 7-Step Model presented in this book provides this context.

With the renewed emphasis on Strategic Planning effectiveness, the need is greater than ever before for a strategic planning, deployment and audit system that can help to successfully lead an organization into a competitive future. The Hoshin Kanri methodology offers a means to focus an organization on what is critical for its future and to deploy those goals in such a way that the organization is aligned both vertically and horizontally in its effort to achieve success. It provides the visibility to track progress of the strategic plan strategies and projects so that leaders are able to respond to unexpected challenges and roadblocks as they arise. Hoshin Kanri is the key to driving Lean and Six Sigma initiatives across the organization.

These tools provide a detailed, step-by-step approach to implementing Hoshin Kanri in your organization. The process outlined in this Jogger represents the culmination of years of Hoshin evolution and learnings. In addition to this, it also contains a review of the pitfalls and temptations experienced by organizations that have implemented Hoshin.

Get organized so you can think more clearly;

1. set goals and priorities so you can stay focused on the right things
2. streamline processes so you can eliminate useless work
3. and use the right technology so you can finish work quicker!

Time management involves working on the right things (effectiveness) and doing them the best way (efficiency). Throughout this book, you will examine ways to improve how to get things done. Some changes will involve simple adjustments, while others will require more work upfront to lighten the load later on.

The solutions in this book have been tried and tested in the real world with busy people just like you. To make them work for you, you have to make the commitment to stop the vicious cycle you’re caught up in: the cycle of not having enough time because you’re always wasting it. You have to make the time and take the time to do this. You’ll get it all back and so much more! And unlike dieting or exercising, the results are immediate!

REDUCE COSTS AND IMPROVE VALUE THROUGH FUNCTION ANALYSIS How do you cut costs? And where? One of the most powerful tools you can use to answer those questions is value methodology, a systematic process that improves the value of a project by analyzing its functions. GOAL/QPC s Value Methodology Memory JoggerTM will show you how to apply this practice effectively in your organization. Value Methodology is unique compared to other practices, such as TQM, Lean Manufacturing, and Six Sigma, because analyzing functions and providing the highest value to the customer in a formal, step-by-step process are the foundations of Value Methodology. Function analysis, the multidisciplinary team approach, and the formal job plan make Value Methodology like no other management practice.

More organizations have increased the use of teams to improve processes and solve problems. Quality managers and organizational development specialists see the need for improving the ability of team members to function in team settings.

Specifically, organizations are assisting team members to reach the “perform” stage as quickly and effectively as possible. Maximize your teams’ potential with this pocket guide to help smooth out communication, productivity, and decision-making problems.

The Automotive IATF 16949:2016 Memory Jogger serves as the concise guidebook to the IATF 16949:2016 augmentations of the ISO 9001:2015 Standard. It is designed as a convenient and quick reference book to the specific automotive requirements in the Standard. Each requirement is covered in an easy to navigate and learn question format structure, “What is it?”, “How do I do it?”, “Tools and Techniques to achieve it”, “What documents you can use to prove it?”, “Questions to ensure you know it”, and “How can you fail at it?” to help manage the change, minimize the risk to the consumer, and integrate IATF 16949:2016 into the management system.

Not much has been written to describe how to make use of the IATF 16949:2016 standard and almost all of what has been written is written for the few people in an organization who are responsible for guiding the implementation effort. However, in the end, almost every member of the company will be affected by IATF 16949:2016 and while this Memory Jogger will be a big help to management and the individuals responsible for guiding the implementation effort, it will be an even bigger help in assisting with the education, training, and buy-in of the many members of the company that are relied upon for the day to day execution of the business. 

It goes without saying that all organizations should strive to inspire confidence in their customers with respect to their fundamental business relationships and interactions with them. When those relationships involve suppliers and OEMs, the drive to inspire customer confidence is even more critical.

This book serves as an introduction to the concepts of quality management systems (QMS), ISO, the process approach and the right purpose. As an introduction it avoids much of the detail and the discussion as to how an organization should implement systems and processes. Rather, it is meant to illuminate and illustrate the reasons that commitment to achieving the right purpose of systems and processes can pay rewarding dividends.

The book raises and discusses important concepts, such as:

• “Propósito correto” – O que é e porque é importante?
• Inspiring customer confidence as an organizational strategy
• Elements of an effective Quality Assurance System
• From putting the “customer first” to “inspiring customer confidence”

Getting to the root cause of a problem is critical and The Root Cause Analysis Memory Jogger describes an easy to follow process and set of tools to do just that in an efficient and effective manner.

Getting to the root cause of a problem is critical and The Root Cause Analysis Memory Jogger describes an easy to follow process and set of tools to do just that in an efficient and effective manner. Root cause analysis (RCA) is an investigative process, with the primary goal of determining the underlying factor or factors that caused the problem. Problems start with the occurrence of a nonconformity or undesired event. This RCA process described in the Memory Jogger works to help understand what took place, why it happened, and how to prevent it from happening again. It can be used in virtually all problem-solving methodologies and it ensures the selected solutions will permanently reduce or totally eliminate the problem, rather than superficially address the symptoms.

The process starts with how to establish the team, the charter, and the problem statement. Then it details how to measure and collect the right data. This is followed by aligning the collected data with suspected root causes and then validating these causes. Addressing root causes, implementing solutions, and controlling future performance comes next. Two case studies are used throughout the book to enhance learning and at each major step in the process there is guidance on choosing the most appropriate tools.

Continuous improvement and striving for challenging goals is a common desire and even a necessity in most organizations. Nevertheless, it is hard to implement and even harder to sustain on a daily basis unless we make it a habit as habits actually direct a large part of our daily lives.

It was developed by Mike Rother, based on his study of Toyota’s management approach. This Memory Jogger is based on Mike Rother’s findings published in Toyota Kata Culture (McGraw-Hill, 2017) and The Toyota Kata Practice Guide (McGraw-Hill, 2018).

The Toyota Kata Memory Jogger covers the four basic steps at the core of Toyota Kata. It explains how to get started using numerous Starter Kata and then covers the Improvement Kata and the Coaching Kata in detail. The final two chapters go into depth on how to develop into a better Coach and how to ask the right questions in the right way.
