    My current role has recently switched to Revenue Operations. My specific role deals a lot with creating and documenting processes for the company as well as compliance. I’m still newer to these concepts and wanted to find a certification that could help me gain knowledge to do my role but also grow to work on and lead larger projects in the future. I’m looking at the green belt but I was wondering if I should start with the yellow belt or somewhere else.

    Find a lean, kaizen and RCA (Root Cause Analysis) course. I’d stay away from six sigma certifications. You’ll hear others tell you to get the cert but I’ve seen a major shift in the market. Google “Avery point group lean vs six sigma” and you find some data that backs this up. Just my 2 cents.

    If you look at the Baltimore Bridge collapse, there was the issue of the ship losing power, but there is also the issue of the bridge not having adequate collision dolphins for the size of ships moving through the ports. Would you say that in that case there is still only 1 root cause?

  • @learnkaizen
    @learnkaizen28 күн бұрын

    The ship losing power would have a root cause and the lack adequate dolphins would have a root cause - but I’d examine these as two different problems that resulted in the collapse of the bridge. The problem statement would not be: the bridge collapsed. The bridge collapsing is a symptom that resulted from a lack of adequate dolphins and the ship losing power. I’d look at these as two different problem statements. Again, this is just the method I’ve been taught and that always works for me. It forces me to think deeper about the problem and separate the symptoms from the actual problem. Of course in the actual problem statement, I’d include metrics. For example, the bridge dolphins are not suitable for ships of size/weight.

    I disagree.. In many cases , there are multiple Root cause.. You missed your meeting in another town.. And what happened is.. You wake up late.. You set your alarm PM instead of AM .. You were tired and went to bed late the night before .. You worked for 14 hrs the day before ... Bla bla bla ... And digging in this line will take you somewhere to HR , work life balance.. compliance with labour law .... etc. But... What I want to tell you ... is that the address of the meeting location was printed mistakenly!! And even if you set your alarm correctly and started your trip to the meeting on time.. you would have missed the meeting 😂 Ohhh... by the way .. I forgot to tell you.. that the meeting was cancelled because there was power shading at that time in this town .. but the working space owner forgot to tell your organising department.. !!!😂😂 What you were saying about the single Root cause!!!!????

  • @learnkaizen
    @learnkaizen3 ай бұрын

    What process did you have implemented to make sure you got to work on time? If you don’t have a process set up, that is the root cause. If you had a process set up and you still set your alarm clock incorrectly, you made a defect. The cause of not showing up on time was because you made a defect. The defect existed because you didn’t have a robust process implemented with proper Poka Yoke mechanisms preventing the AM/PM mistake. That’s the root cause…know how I know? Because if I implement an alarm clock that sets automatically based on location…blah, blah, blah. Now I’ve countermeasure’d the root cause of waking up late due to the defect. Working 14 hrs the day before is not a root cause - it’s a cause for being tired but you need to consider the timeline of events. Your alarm not going off due to the process allowing you to make the defect - was the breakdown in the process (assuming you have a documented process for waking up). Everything you mentioned about HR, work life balance etc. are all separate causes or symptoms with separate root causes and countermeasures. This is a common mistake I see when people try to remedy every problem because of one mistake. In your example, you went from being tired to alarm clock to HR and work life balance and workforce labor laws!!! That’s a lot of problems that need respective attention but shouldn’t fall under the same umbrella as the alarm clock defect. I see this all the time - it’s a matter of continuing to challenge the problem until you’ve reached the mechanism that can turn each problem on and off at will. Then move to the next issue until you reach the root cause at the process level. So, I’ll stick to my original thoughts. I can work through the problem with you on paper if you’d like. Let me know and we’ll work out the schedules.

    @@learnkaizen 1st of all ... Thanks for your time and prompt response 2. I am not a specialist in this .. but I feel that the linear 5 why thinking .. most likely leads to a fake cause .. I like your statement of turning on and off.. In my example.. turn the root cause of the alarm on and off.. 100 times.. you will not show on time .. because there were other causes .. That is why they used to ask .. What relevant happen just before ? And Was it enough to lead to what happened?? If you hit someone by your car.. We can spend 100 days talking about Training Defensive driving Car status Sleep apnea Braking system Bla bla bla.. While there was another fact that should have been considered in parallel. There were oil on the road !!!! I know it is another problem .. but it happened in the same time and had severe impact on the case.. I can not just ignore it and focus on the other line only .. In life.. problems happens simultaneously... and their line of cause and effect intersects.. And even if we considered that missing a process or procedure to ensure correct execution of something.. Even this .. i can challenge by taking it up in an infinite line !! Why there was not a procedure?🙄🤔 To be honest... Sometimes I feel that this whole RCA was over thought about.. until it became useless..

    @khaledyehiahasan4729 I appreciate your comment and respect your input and thoughts. You sound quite knowledgeable about the subject matter and you’re spot on about the 5 Whys. The 5 whys generally get misused as a stand alone tool. While it’s good for questioning issues on the fly- the data you receive is generally qualitative and qualitative data can be difficult to remedy. We need quantitative data. That’s why I always utilize an Ishikawa (Fishbone) or affinity first! This allows me to pull information from the experts (the people who work at the process everyday) they are closest to the process and problem Leading them through the Fishbone process - documenting all the possible causes…then we prioritize those possible causes based and start collecting qualitative data…for example: suppose a bolt was loose on a widget. The Fishbone process led us to the machine-torque driver out of spec. Then we verify the actual torque driver readings (quantitative) compared to the spec. We find that it’s out of spec because the calibration is out of date and the it’s set to the wrong setting. Some may consider this 2 root causes but my opinion is that these are these are two causes from which we can derive 2 - 5 whys. Tool was used out of calibration. Why: operator didn’t verify calibration prior to using. Why, process does not indicate visual calibration date check prior to use. Countermeasure: implement process to check calibration sticker prior to using. Next 5 WHY: out of spec - why: torque was used on another machine requiring torque adjustment and not verified when returned/prior to use. Why: process does not require verification of torque prior to use. Countermeasure - update process to verify torque setting prior to use These are just quick examples so don’t beat me up too bad - the real take away is to use something like the Fishbone before the 5 Why…that’s the proper way.

The goal should be to demonstrate your value through projects you’ve completed or demonstrate you understand how use the tools to get results. There is this common misconception that a yellow, green, black or master black belt certification is what companies want to see. It’s not. I know they may ask for it but what they really want is someone who knows how to use the tools within the certification body of knowledge. So after you receive the training, it’s important you build process muscle by applying what you learn and document your results. When I work with my students, I teach them how to apply the 3-top skills companies want - build a project portfolio with documented results, connect their portfolio to their resume/cv, tell their story during interviews and how to get attention through networking on LinkedIn - it’s a 90-day process that I’ve used to help people land CI roles. Hopefully - you can follow what I just talked about out and it helps you!

Do you feel the company would give project priority to candidates who went through the company program?

    I kinda disagree with what you said on having open action items by the end of a kaizen event as a failure. More often than not, the resources to fix the issue is just not there. We put a containment in place to minimize the impact of the issue while we put together a plan for the implementation. Great video as always, looking forward to your future videos! I'd very much appreciate it if you could share tips and tricks on doing CI in a job shop, low quantity high variation, environment!

    Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I see/hear this a lot, but please don’t let this become the norm. A Kaizen Event should countermeasure/improve the process without any actions after the Kaizen. If you have an action list that can’t be completed during the Kaizen, bring in the sponsor to remove roadblocks and get you the resources you need to finish the actions. That’s why having a sponsor is so important to the Kaizen. The sponsor doesn’t have to attend the Kaizen, but should fully support the event (be on stand-by) including having the power to make decisions at a high level. This may be the CEO, Operating Company President , VP, Plant Manager, etc. the only time I allow an action after the Kaizen is to design/install a permanent fixture or device that may need to be ordered - BUT ONLY if the team has proven the device will work by using wit over wallet (or what is known as the moonshine method)- did the team test and prove the new fixture will help improve the process- using items readily available to them. I’ll do a video on the moonshine method but you can also just google it with ‘Lean’ in the search to ensure you don’t end up on a website about how to make moonshine 😂😂😂. Thank you for sharing your experience. I’d encourage you to find ways to eliminate the action list (a few examples how in my comment). It took me years to learn various techniques and strategies that supported the Kaizen team to full completion during the Kaizen with zero actions afterwards. Today, I facilitate Kaizen and Shin Events (4-5 Kaizen Teams in one event) every month. We never have actions after the event. It takes time to learn and that’s why I post videos to help! Thanks again for sharing your comment and experience! 🙏
