| A3
Problem Solving Session with Simulation

|
This is everything your Lean Facilitator needs to teach an effective
A3 Problem Solving class for your associates. The session is designed
for 4.5 hours of classroom time learning the problem solving tools
and how to use the A3 template, followed by the 3.5 hour team-based
simulation.
Problem Solving tools include:
- Root Cause Analysis
- Process Flow Charting
- Value Stream Mapping
- Pareto Chart
- Fishbone Diagram
- Histogram
- Scatter Diagram
- Control Charts & Process Capability
- Error Proofing
This
simulation kit provides an opportunity for the participants to actually
use the 8 steps of the A3 Process and fill out the included A3 form.
The kit is designed for up to three teams (six associates per team).
The simulation gives the team a chance to demonstrate their A3 Problem
Solving knowledge in a simulated, yet "business-like" environment,
and confirms their understanding of these techniques through the
use of team "report-out" activities. The A3 steps are:
1. Identify the Problem or Need
2. Understanding the Current Situation/State
3. Goal Statement--Develop the Target State
4. Root Cause Analysis
5. Brainstorm/Determine Countermeasures
6. Countermeasures Implementation Plan
7. Check Results--Confirmation of Effect
8. Update Standard Work
Kit
Includes:
-
112 PowerPoint slides on a site license CD
- A3 Problem Solving simulation using our standard wood trucks
- A3 template--blank and on CD
- A3 template--filled in per the steps in the PowerPoint slides
and on CD
- 18 laminated problem situation and statement forms
- Implementing World Class Manufacturing book as a reference
for the problem solving tools
-
Set of Poker Chips for a problem solving exercise

| Error
Proofing & Problem Solving Kit

|
Kit
includes simulations for both Error Proofing and Problem Solving.
The kit is designed for up to three teams (six associates per team)
who have been trained in Problem Solving Tools, and should be facilitated
by an experienced Team & Problem Solving Trainer. The Simulation
Kit gives the team a chance to use their Problem Solving Tools and
Error Proofing techniques in a simulated, yet "business-like"
environment, and confirms their understanding of these techniques
through the use of team "report-out" activities.
Problem
Solving:
This simulation kit provides an opportunity to actually use the
following tools:
-
Problem Definition
- Fishbone
Diagram and Multi-voting
-
5 Whys
- Brainstorming
- Developing
an Action Plan
This
exercise takes approximately 3 hours to complete.
Error
Proofing :
After teams have been trained in Problem Solving, this Error Proofing
Simulation is to be used as part of an Error/Mistake Proofing class.
This exercise teaches the team how to apply the following Error
Proofing techniques:
- Design
for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA)
- Detection
in Station
-
Successive Checking
This
exercise takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete.

Into Action (DVD)

Ideas
Into Action looks at the barriers to fresh, profit-related creative
thinking and suggests some simple but powerful ways to overcome
them. This program shows how stimulating constant creativity and
innovation is key to coming up with viable ideas for products, services,
processes, and procedures that your customers really want.
The
program addresses a number of key issues:
- The difference
between a 'dinosaur' and 'dolphin' outlook
- Why we
tend to restrict thinking to self-imposed limits, and how to
think your way beyond them
- How to
improve your problem-solving skills by challenging your own
assumptions
- How to
avoid idea assassination
- How to
assess ideas and solutions in a positive, creative way
- How to
take the initiative and translate ideas into action
Features
and applications:
- Everyone
needs to challenge the way they think, and will therefore benefit
from this video
- Title program
in the Ideas Into Action Series
- Visually
stimulating and highly entertaining resource
