Challenge established truths

challenge established truths

To me, Lean Six Sigma is about challenging established truths by asking questions and require facts. Questions enable us to develop and innovate.

Some questions can be perceived as criticism therefore it is important to focus on the process, not the person.

Problem solving

Problem solving

A large cosmetics company received a complaint from a customer. She had bought one of their most popular soaps, but when she opened the box, she discovered it was empty.

The management took the complaint seriously, and identified the problem fast.

Time management

time-management

How do you ensure you spend your time right?

How do you evaluate, plan and improve your time management?

My motivation for being self-employed is the freedom it gives me. The freedom of managing time as I like. 

Measurement error

MSE

All measurements involve uncertainty.

Suppliers of measuring equipment usually specify the measurement uncertainty as a symmetrical interval around the measurement result:

Measurement result ± measurement uncertainty

Example: The length of a special measuring rod is 2000 mm ± 1 mm.

Specific goals

Specific goals

Have you overcome more than you thought was possible?

My family enjoy outdoor activity, and growing up, my dad was leading our trips. Unfortunately, the goal changed along the way:

"We reached this summit, but that summit looks even nicer. Let’s go there!"

"The bus will not leave until several hours. Let’s walk home instead."

Problem solving training

problem solving training Summer is a great time to relax and see things with new eyes. Maybe questioning our routines as this story is a reminder of:

A young girl stood watching her mother prepare baked fish for dinner. The mother cut off the head and tail of the fish, and placed it in a oven-proof dish.

The girl frowns. «Why do you cut off the head and tail of the fish? I thought you should bake the fish whole?»

Variation

variation

Variation can be positive in contexts like "varied workday," "varied training", etc.

For manufacturing companies variation can create headaches and huge cost.

What is the root cause?

rotårsak

I was on a job trip, where the return journey did not go according to plan.

The result was a missed air plane, and Hertz received a damaged car in return.

What really happened and what was the root cause?

Are meetings stealing your time?

tidsstyring

Have you been to a meeting, and questioned the value of the meeting afterwards?

Maybe the meeting was relevant to some of the participants, but not to all of them?

Poor preparation may cause the meetings to last longer.

Thank you for your trust
