    STAR
    - Shift
    - Trend

  • 22.Run Chart
    Astronomical: When there is an outlier
  • 3.Run Chart
    Runs: (too few or too many) - number of times the median line is crossed
  • 24.Value Stream Map
    : a visual representation of activities and flows of information, materials, and services required to accomplish specific objectives.
  • 25.Value Stream Mapping
    : a team based systematic approach to create value stream maps which identify waste in the current state or paint the vision of a future state with less waste.
  • 26.Made to Stock
    Environment where products can be and usually are finished before receipt of a customer order (ex - grocery store)
  • 27.Assemble/Finish to Order
    - An environment a product or service is assembled after receipt of a customer's order
    - Products are typically a mix of standard items and prefabricated modules

  • 30.Push
    a process that relies upon a forecast to create inventory in anticipation of customer orders
    o You push inventory into your supply chain
    o When actual orders don't match forecast, there will be excess inventory or stock
    o AKA Speculative
    o Ex - Buffet
  • 31.Pull
    A process that uses actual customer demand to drive production
    o The order pulls inventory through your supply chain
    o AKA - reactive
    o Ex steak - that is ordered as rare, med rare etc...

    Symbol to identify waster on current state map. The areas to make good.
  • root cause analysis
    underlying causes
  • Pareto Principle
    80/20 rule
    roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes
  • scatter diagram
    A correlation chart that uses a regression line to explain or to predict how the change in an independent variable will change a dependent variable.
  • Benchmarking
    comparing the performance of your products, services or processes with those of competitors and best-in-class organizations.
  • Best Practices
    a procedure, demonstrated by research and experience, which produces superior results and is suitable for widespread adoption as a standard
  • Root cause analysis
    ___________________ is a systematic process for identifying "root causes" of problems or events and an approach for responding to them. RCA is based on the basic idea that effective management requires more than merely "putting out fires" for problems that develop, but finding a way to prevent them.
