A project management approach led process improvement ( case study)
Case Study to show how the application of Project Management Approaches can lead to improvement in the process of production without affecting other processes
The 7 steps lean implementation
The 7 steps process was applied to improve the quality control (QC) operation. First, the current processes were mapped and objectives established to focus on customer satisfaction and compliance. A gap analysis identified opportunities to reduce waste, such as unnecessary documentation and long setup times. Non-value adding activities were eliminated through workshops. Testing activities were removed from the critical path to reduce lead times. Finally, a culture of continuous improvement was fostered through training, performance measurement, and an infrastructure for ongoing process improvements.

Problem Solving:9S Methodology
Many organisations who implement ISO Management systems or venture into AS9100 often struggle with implementing a robust root cause and corrective action process.
There are a number of tools out there such as 5 Whys and Fishbone Diagrams but the IAQG along with the aerospace community have devised a supporting standard to the AS91XX series of guidance documents to help organisations with the root cause and problem-solving process. It is called ARP9136 and although you cannot be certified to this standard (currently) it will support your management system controls. It would also help any organisation whether you are certified or not or even have ISO 9001, there is nothing stopping you also implementing this standard.
One of the main non-conformances raised within AS9100, AS9120 and AS9110 assessments is a non-conformance for ineffective corrective actions. Generally speaking that is when organisations have not implemented effective corrective actions and we raise the same issue twice. You need to ensure that corrective actions implemented are effective and have addressed the issue so you do not get repeats. 9S should help you to achieve effective corrective actions.
The guidance document was created to provide a methodology for performing root cause analysis to resolve a significant or recurrent issue (e.g., quality, On-time delivery (OTD), process, documentation), and has used some well-known tools such as 7 Steps, Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA), 8D.
ARP9136 is titled Root Cause Problem Solving (9S Methodology)
It is called the 9S methodology for the simple fact that there are 9 process steps and elements within those steps to take in order to complete an effective root cause and problem-solving process, similar to the theory behind 8D.
You would need to purchase the guidance document to get a full understanding and detailed explanation of each step and element within the steps, you can purchase this from the SAE website.
The slides show the 1st Element "Objective" for each of the process steps to give you a baseline understanding.
Quality Improvement Techniques
This presentation discusses various quality improvement techniques including Kaizen, 5S, Six Sigma, quality circles, and 7QC tools.

The document outlines the stages of conducting a Kaizen, which is a tool used to rapidly improve work processes. It involves documenting the current process, identifying waste, planning countermeasures, making changes to eliminate waste, verifying the changes work, measuring results, and making the new process the standard. The stages include planning and preparation, a multi-day event to implement changes, reporting out results, and following up to ensure improvements are sustained long-term. The goal is to continuously improve processes to better meet customer needs through engaging employees in identifying and eliminating waste.

Project management processes ch3 (1)
The document discusses the key processes involved in project management. It outlines the typical project life cycle stages of initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and controlling, and closing. For each stage, it provides breakdown processes that occur within that stage. It also includes sample questions and answers related to project management processes and terminology.
Deming’s PDCA and Constant Learning
This document discusses Deming's PDCA cycle and message of constant learning. It provides an overview of Deming's philosophy that inefficiency and poor quality are usually due to systemic problems rather than employees. It also outlines Deming's message to Japanese management to see production as a system, make quality a priority set by management, and continuously learn and improve using the PDCA (plan-do-check-act) cycle. The PDCA cycle is described as a four-step model for continuous improvement: plan potential solutions, implement the plan, check the results, and act to standardize successful changes. Guiding questions for each step are provided. The document concludes with discussing Deming's views on constant learning through rigorous screening,
Qa overview
The document discusses a quality assurance pilot program that aimed to improve processes and ensure desired results. It describes activities conducted by the quality assurance team, such as training, evaluations, coaching, and testing of employees and processes. The goal was to continuously improve established standards and procedures. There were six functions of quality management actions, including quality planning, assurance organization, education, standardization, improvement, and auditing. Reports on activities were housed and tracked to monitor goals, errors, and identify areas for coaching or process improvements.
Agile Project LifeCycle
This document proposes an agile project life cycle for managing a project using SharePoint 2010. It includes setting up templates in SharePoint for project documentation libraries, lists for tasks, risks, resources, and a product backlog. It also covers agile concepts like sprint planning, velocity tracking, prioritization, and user stories. The goal is to balance planning and flexibility by regularly updating plans after each sprint based on work completed and new priorities.
Process development and implementation
Creating process documentation and standardization for non-formalized activities. Step by step method for documenting a process.
8D analysis presentation
This is very useful presentation on "8D method" for analysis of customer complaint and rejection analysis.
8D Problem Solving
The 8D problem solving process is an approach to systematically solve problems. It involves 8 steps: 1) establishing a team, 2) describing the problem, 3) implementing containment actions, 4) identifying the root cause, 5) verifying countermeasures, 6) implementing permanent corrective actions, 7) preventing recurrence, and 8) congratulating the team. The process provides a structured way for a team to understand the problem, contain it, determine and address its root cause, and ensure it does not happen again.
