Process Optimization

The Shainin - Method -
Clearly determine the most important improvement and work it out with highest priority.

Benefits of Shainin Methods:

"Talk to your parts and they will respond to you more clearly than engineers will ...." That is essentially the message Dorian Shainin stated as the basis of his methods for statistical analysis of tests and failures. The target is to increase the quality and reliability of products, processes and services.

The Shainin methods look for the "Big Red X" as the main root cause of product deficiencies. They help to identify the failed part in a few iterative steps, so that the failure can be fixed quickly with minimum cost.
