Course Overview

Variation in multivariable process control is the enemy; averages conceal it. Most defects in this aspect of quality and productivity management are designed in long before they are detected. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better this strand of quality and productivity management is rarely technical. The programme converts multivariable process control from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Progress on this area of quality and productivity management is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the quality and productivity management discipline rather than to abstract argument. The level assumes working familiarity with the operating process but no prior formal training in multivariable process control. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the wider quality and productivity management agenda. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the quality and productivity management discipline rather than a set of notes.

03

Multivariable process control: mapping the process as actually performed

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Agreeing what good actually means for multivariable process control

  • Apply structured root cause analysis to the top defect in multivariable process control.
  • Close out actions on multivariable process control rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
  • Check that records of multivariable process control answer the questions likely to be asked.
  • Train the team handling multivariable process control in the problem-solving method being used.

Session 2What has to be agreed before work on multivariable process control starts

  • Map the process behind multivariable process control by walking it, not by describing it.
  • Verify that improvements to multivariable process control held six months later.
  • Write standard work for multivariable process control with the people who perform it.
  • Define quality for multivariable process control in terms the customer would recognise.
04

Multivariable process control: cost of poor quality

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Mapping multivariable process control as it is done, not as it is written

  • Assemble certification evidence for multivariable process control as work proceeds, not before the audit.
  • Set sampling for multivariable process control on statistical grounds, not on habit.
  • Arrange the handover of multivariable process control so capability survives staff changes.
  • Rank the weaknesses in multivariable process control by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.

Session 2Removing steps from multivariable process control that add no value

  • Identify non-value-adding steps in multivariable process control and remove them.
  • Choose productivity measures for multivariable process control that do not reward shortcuts.
  • Measure current variation in multivariable process control before attempting improvement.
  • Record what was tried on multivariable process control and did not work, and why.
