Who Benefits from Shainin Certification?

The Rolling Top 5® are the Top 5 problems or high risk areas that, at any moment, prevent the achievement of strategic business objectives. Rolling Top 5 certification enables executives and managers to maximize savings by changing the problem solving and problem prevention cultures in their organization. They learn to quickly identify the Top 5 problems or high risk areas, convert them to projects, monitor progress, and find solutions that boost customer enthusiasm and shareholder value.

The Green Y® is the key product feature or function that the end user cares about. Green Y certification provides design, quality, and reliability professionals with the ability to identify and eliminate high-risk weak links before products and processes launch — a competitive advantage that is all too rare in the industry.

The Red X® is the product feature or process setting that drives the Green Y. Red X certification benefits manufacturing, process, product, and quality professionals, providing them with the skills to solve existing problems quickly and efficiently.

The TransaXional® methodology focuses upon problem solving and prevention within business processes and systems. TransaXional certification benefits business and Information Technology professionals, providing them with the skills to solve existing problems quickly and efficiently, to design enhancements and new business processes, and to prevent installation surprises for internally and externally developed business processes and systems.

Shainin teaches executives and managers to reach beyond their existing business structure to find and solve their most costly problems, and prevent them from recurring. You can also tailor your Shainin training according to your needs, by selecting from our four certification paths that we created to reflect the way your own organization works.

Our four distinct paths help you train personnel in the precise areas of expertise you need: Rolling Top 5® for improved business performance, Green Y® for problem prevention, Red X®  for problem solving, and TransaXional® for business process problems. These strategies effectively cover the range of critical problems of the clients who come to us for help.

Here are testimonials from independent sources on the benefits that Shainin can provide your organization as a whole. The first is from the book World Class Quality, 2nd edition, by Keki Bhote, p. 75;

"Without Deming, the U.S. would not have had a quality philosophy; without Juran, it would not have had a quality direction; without Shainin, it would not have solved quality problems!"

The second is from the Harbour Report – North America 2001, which has been providing a competitive analysis of automotive manufacturing in North America for the last 20 years. The Spotlight on the North American operations describes GM Powertrain Toledo as the number one ranking transmission plant. They go on to state:

"One of the plants biggest successes is its Red X strategy, which goes beyond fixing an individual problem and instead targets the root of that problem. With its Red X strategy, Toledo completely solves a problem and thus eliminates future problems. It should come as no surprise, then, that the plant's quality levels also have risen throughout the transformation."

In fact, four of the top five transmission plants in North America are significant clients of Shainin's.
