E24: The 8 Nelson Rules for Detecting Out of Control Conditions in a Statistical Process Control (SPC) Chart - Lean Portland Happy Hour - July 2023 1:05:11

2 years之前1:05:11

1:05:11

When using Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts to monitor your process, you are comparing your current data to historical data to determine if the process is similar or different. The basis for this decision lies in the Western Electric Rules (now called Nelson Rules) for detecting out of control conditions. For example, if you detect 6 consecutive data points going upwards from the previous data point, that is considered a trend, and the process should be stopped to investigate if there is a problem or not. Brion Hurley, Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt with Business Performance Improvement, will discuss these rules in depth, and explain how they can help you more quickly identify problems in your process. Q&A will follow the presentation.

E23: Calculating Financial Benefits for Improvement Projects - Lean Portland Happy Hour - July 2022 1:11:15

1:11:15

After making improvements to your processes, a best practice is to calculate the benefits to the organization. Calculating financial benefits is an important part of building momentum for improvement with upper management. However, this can be confusing for those not familiar with financial data, and is not done very often in organizations. Brion Hurley will discuss commonly used methods for capturing financial impacts of process improvement work. The 5 categories are: • Income Statement • Cash Flow • Growth • Avoidance • Soft Savings We will define each category, go through a few examples, and go through a practice exercise as a group.

At our April 6th Happy Hour, we are delighted to feature long-time member of Lean Portland, Sheilah "Paddy" O'Brien, who recently finished writing her latest book, “Facilitating Rapid Process Improvement Workshops (RPI), a Self-Study Guide for Lean Leaders.” This is a follow-on to her first book, “Lean for the Nonprofit, What You Don’t Know Can Cost You." With two books under her belt, we wanted to have a conversational Happy Hour with her and ask: “What was it about our Lean culture and practice that compelled you to write these books?” We think you will find the answers will pique your interest. We will collectively discuss, "How do I continue to learn after my initial training to Lean? What’s next to advance my improvement skills?” Also, we will discuss the nature and challenges of taking Lean into non-manufacturing environments. Paddy will briefly outline the content of her book(s), and, through a casual interview format, share her journey, insights, and lessons learned from years of experience facilitating events and applying Lean in state government and non-profits.
