UPRA-IMP. TOOLS_Benchmarking/Taguchi, Shainin

Benchmarking is a way of discovering what is the best performance being achieved in a particular company, by a competitor, by an entirely different industry.

Benchmarking is not a good idea to identify gaps in an organization’s processes:

Is a process for obtaining a measure, represent the "how":

Is how we called the measure obtained after the process, simply stated represent the "what":

Focuses on best practices.

Considered corporate spying by some.

Adapting based on customer needs after examination of the best.

Although there are many forms of benchmarking, they can be classified into three categories:

Used in the same company to improve some areas in their own company.

Used when a company wants to evaluate its position within its industry.

Used when identifying and analyzing a company needs going outside of its own industry.

The recommended benchmarking stages are:

Which is the correct order of the benchmarking stages?

The main objective of this stage, is plan the research answering three questions...

Which are the questions to plan and research the benchmarking?

The success or failure will depend on it:

This stage is to identify opportunities for improvement:

This stage is to adapt reference aspects to our company, always implementing improvements:

This will help resume work on subsequent projects:

The meaning of KPI is: key project indicator.

The three main DoE approaches are:

Thomas Edison applied OFAT strategy to invent the light bulb.

The DoE was first applied in mining:

The three approaches of DoE are superior to the OFAT strategy:

William Edwards Denimg was considered as father of quality:

Who used ti said... "Any technique can be useful, if you know and understand its limitations" ?

How many stages were included in the development of classical approach?

Characterized by scientific thought, factorial designs and the ANOVA:

Fractional factorial designs were introduced...

Characterized by the development of the RSM, extended to the chemical industry and industrial processes and R & D areas.

Begins at 80s, appreciating many ideas of the new approaches, the variability reduction began to be an area of much research.

Begins at 90s, Six Sigma and the statistical software, helped DoE to be applied in all types of industry.

The first Taguchi's publication dates from [blank_start]1950s[blank_end]. This approach to DoE was not introduced in the USA or Europe until the early [blank_start]1980s[blank_end]. Taguchi promoted statistical techniques from an [blank_start]engineering perspective[blank_end], in contrast to the [blank_start]statistical perspective[blank_end] of the DoE of the moment. Taguchi developed a methodology for solving problems, which he called: [blank_start]Quality Engineering[blank_end].

Taguchi basic concepts:

What is this image representing?

Who said it?... "Quality is something that can not be characterized only by an average of a desired characteristic, the variability of that characteristic must also be considered."

The American approach (legally protected) to solve problems:

Shainin system is based on:

This factor is the main cause of the variation of the response.

Pale Pink X is the second significant cause of the response variation.

Shainin recommends the use of fractional factorial design:

Taguchi and Shainin were the biggest critics of the classical approach.

Taguchi's methods weren't criticized, there were always great comments about his strategy.

Shainin most criticized tools are: Variable SearchTM Pre-ControlTM

Variable SearchTM is very similar to factorial design:

Shainin presented Pre-ControlTM as an alternative to SPC:

Any of the three approaches is much more efficient than OFAT strategy.
