Awesome stuff ! Well done, nicely put together, informative and also engaging! Much appreciated!

Great, very insightful

So valuable! Thanks Tom :)

Thanks for the videos Tom. I enjoy the way you present and give us the challenge to think deeper. I am a CIM in the USA and at my company we are working to get better at using the A3 process. We use an eight step or five step version variant. I’ve been watching your videos the last couple of years and appreciate them. Happy New Year all!

in Cpk case, why use Rbar / D2, but just calculate with the ∑ （Xi-μ）^2/n-1. it is not difficult due to the computer developing

I am coming late to this party, but yes I agree as well. My team does this every time we do a Root Cause Corrective Action.

If I understand correctly, is it possible to say that each individual Cpk is a LOT of component production (and there are three LOTs in the video) while the Ppk is a tolerance that represents the change in the component's tester? Thank you.

Very interesting stuff mister Mentink, very interesting! 😃

Hee Tom! Geweldig uitgelegd, heb je het excel template nog steeds beschikbaar?

Good morning, knowing the OEE of all my machines and having some that work in parallel and others in series, how can I calculate the OEE of the whole process? Thanks in advance

Great video on the exact subject I was searching for. I've been tasked with the responsibility of doing a Gage R&R study (my first time doing this) on a backlash measurement fixture I designed and have been using at my company for over 2 years. The parts are lead screws & nut subassembly that aren't always the highest quality machining (due to special material used on the nut). Making it more difficult is the fact that the users I've trained for the study find it difficult (but it's easy for me). We just ran a test and the numbers are pretty high, so we can't validate the fixture so others can use it. My manager is really pressuring me to get this done, and I'm at my wits end.

Hello. I enjoy your videos. Thank you.

Great Video, Tom! Thanks! I am not an expert in the industrial sector (more services), but isn’t it also true that in order to make one piece flow there is so much work to do in balancing the processes first? If you have processes that are not balanced to takt and produce at different cycle tomes, you would still go back to batching and inventory in between processes! Or if you have many defects, one piece flow is almost impossible. One piece flow seems so much valuable but it is true that certain videos and animations simplify its applicability ridiculously. The condition to implement one piece flow is can be pretty hard to achieve

Nice video!

Hi Tom, I’m your big fans also following you on LinkedIn. Thank you for sharing 👏👏👏

Surely you would observe prior to 5S? Otherwise you are making improvements before understanding. IMO

I have an exam tomorrow, what if so 20 10 - 5 - - 10 40 i mean there are two different stations and they are doing same thing but one is doing in 20 sec and the other is in 40 sec ??

How is the Cpk calculated when I have a target value of 0 and the max allowed is 50.

Can I become quality engineer to transition from PhD to industry

That is a really good metaphor and easy to understand. When I started my career as an industrial engineer responsible for plant layout and time measurements, I found that I could implement many improvement projects each year. However, one day I realized that it wasn't enough; I needed to think about how to involve more staff in improvement projects at different levels within my plant. I shifted my mindset from "hunting" to "farming." After one or two years, the plant director told me that I couldn't just create a platform for others to participate; I also needed to have my own projects. He was right. I began to build object detection systems to help inspectors find missing parts, and I returned to "hunting." As the only CI leader in my factory (580 staff total), I must balance my time between hunting and farming. Interestingly, some colleagues prefer to see their CI leader actively involved in projects, as it demonstrates problem-solving methods and engineering skills.

I do enjoy the journey! thank you , Tom

very good videos!

very good videos! thank you for sharing, Tom.

Superb explanation 👌

Wage slavery

Hi Tom. Very insightful video once again Tom, congratulations! I just have two questions: 1- Imagine I want to present this to my management as a way to implement a Performance Excellence Program, how can I estimate the duration of each cycle if I want to present it as a roadmap? And from your experience, how long does each cycle last? 2- Once I reach the Strategy cycle, is it the goal to stay on that cycle indefinitely, or should I revisit the other 2 cycles? PS: I work in an Energy Utility company, specifically in the O&M of a power plant.

many thanks

Great explanation of interconnecting the parts! Powerful!

Thank you, Tom! I wish more people in management and analytics were aware of FMEA.

Excellent job!!!

Really like the simplicity, all the support keep it up Tom!

Hi Tom, you mention there are different fish one categories for different sectors. Where would I find them for strategy pls? Google search not helping. Thankyou.

Eye opening

What a wonderful video you have done here

To boost your own CI analysis skills and up your value to the whole organisation, be sure to check out my course on calculating the financial effect of improvements and problems solved: www.tommentink.com/savings-reporting-course

Unfortunately I had to stop this video as the sound of the pen scratching the paper is unbearable.

thank you so much, very in-depth explanation

Great points! I’ve seen companies struggle with their learning and development programs because every employee has unique needs, and often, employees don’t know where to begin or what to spend their funds on. This uncertainty can be a barrier to fully utilizing available benefits. At Compt , we’ve been talking to dozens of L&D and HR leaders, and it’s clear that the process for managing L&D requests is broken-full of endless spreadsheets, manual forms, and cluttered inboxes filled with questions on balances, budgets, and questions on how employees can spend their funds. Our new L&D feature is designed to address these pain points and improve the employee experience. Our platform streamlines managing requests and budgets for classes, certifications, tuition reimbursement, and student loan repayment-all in one place. One of the most impactful features is the pre-built suggestions tailored to each department, helping employees maximize their benefits by removing the guesswork and making it easier for employees to find relevant opportunities. Thanks for sparking this important conversation-by addressing these challenges, we can help companies and employees focus on what really matters: growth and development!

Hi Tom, I recently finished my degree in industrial engineering and management and I really liked the part about continuous improvement. I got a job in a company and I want to improve processes and systems here in the company. I bought the book New Manufacturing Challenge by Kiyoshi Suzaki and I'm finding it very interesting. As the professional that you are, what would you say I try first, what books, videos of yours, where to start? I feel a bit lost. Thanks in advance

Thank you for this great content.

We are doing alot of this, even with FMEA and Controlplan, the quality of the parts. PPAP. Can we call us Quality Engineers??? What is the difference between a Quality Technician and a Quality Engineer?

This video and presentation are Great I wanted to ask questions but they were answered. Having this kind of education on multiple platforms would be wonderful. There were a little bit of noise upon cuts.

Excelente explanation. Thank you!

Already during the live workshop, people asked me where they can get the file I used during the presentation - it's available in two places: 1. As a stand-alone download from my website: www.tommentink.com (scroll down a bit) 2. It's included in the upcoming Capacity & Labour challenge (www.tommentink.com/sales-page-c5fb244b-4d85-43ec-96eb-ba54b6dcf9ab ), during which you will do this C&L analysis for your department or factory with my guidance and the support of all participants. A great way to learn in practice, receive direct support on any obstacles you encounter, and immediately generate a tangible result for your organisation!

thank you🙏

What are hard skills for this?

Hi Tom, would you be able to make a video on the 3 legged root cause, systemic, detection, specific?

Do you need to be an engineer?
