INNOVATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING USING TRIZ METHODS - QAI

SegmentationScope Black belt projects carefully to ensure that multitude of properly scopedprojects would actually lead to the goal of Six SigmaIncreasing use of sensesEncourage black belts to get out to work place and ensure that they are usingall the five senses to observe and understand the process and thereafterimprove it. Total involvement in the project is the key to successful timeresponsibility of Six Sigma projects is one way to ensure total commitmentEvolution towards decreased human involvementBlack belts today use Human and tool as the interface, wherein software’s likeMinitab etc are the tools used. The future evolution will be interfacing onlinedata collection tools, data mining, neural networks, Simulation and selfpromptingsoftware’s for better and accurate data analysisReducing system complexityThe most ideal scenario for an organization is there is no black belt at all butall persons in the organization are black belts and undertake projects in theirrespective areas on an ongoing methodMono-bi-poly-Similar objectsBlack belts undertake more than three projects simultaneously thus improvingprocesses faster and proliferating Six Sigma in a big wayMono-bi-poly Dis-similar objectsBlack belts work on increasing number of project’s but each of a differentnature involving different skill sets example, Manufacturing, Transactional,DFSS, Value stream improvements etc, this way the black belt becomes morecompetent and also monotony of similar projects is avoidedProject reviewsStrive towards making senior management project reviews as a two-wayinteraction meaning that the black belt can approach senior management forreviews on a more frequent basis and vice versaIncreasing dimensionalityFormulate appropriate Business councils so that project reviews arefreewheeling and will yield in better commitments from all involvedTRIZ 10
