In this section, you can find 5 tools which are useful for the people working in quality and manufacturing divisions. The tools are mainly focused on problem solving and quality control.

8D , QC Story, 5 Why Analysis, Pareto, Ishikawa Diagram and Control Table are available with the instructions embedded.

Enjoy!

• 5 Why Analysis :Use this powerful and interactive tool to find out the root cause of a problem. Using this document you can prevent the same problem from happening again, by asking why things happened over and over until you reach the root of the problem.

• 8D : This tool helps you to implement the eight disciplines of problem solving (8D), which is a problem solving methodology designed to find the root cause of a problem, formulate a short-term solution and implement a long-term one in order to prevent recurring problems. You may use this approach when you find out your products are defective or are not satisfying the customers. 8D is a very good first step tool to be used to improve the quality.

• Pareto Diagram: As we all now, the Pareto principle states that, for many events/outcomes, about 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. The template we provide allows you check if the statements is right in just a couple of minute. Please click here to download: Pareto Template

• QC Story: A complex and dedicated method/tool from Total Quality Management for problem resolution in a very structured manner. “It helps to solve a problem in a comprehensive and rationally way, with efficiency A problem solving method based in the PDCA improvement cycle.”Compare the conditions before and after the improvement using data to see the target’s achievement Use at least the same indicators and graphs before and after the countermeasure to confirm the effects, showing progress ” We strongly recommend you to not hesitate to ask our specialists for a dedicated training and/or consultancy. A very well presented example will join you in this discovery. Please click here to download: QC Story_Template_V0
