Advanced Red X^® Strategies For Problem Solving

This highly interactive class builds on the skills developed through the Red X^® Strategies for Problem Solving class to address more difficult problems and to complete the FACTUAL^™ journey. Students will learn to apply Shainin’s disciplined approach to solve complex manufacturing and engineering problems. Cases studies highlight Shainin strategies and techniques for isolating the Red X operation within a complex manufacturing process; attacking destructive event problems; confirming the Red X; developing realistic tolerances; and applying designed experiments.

Objectives:

This course is designed to enable participants to quickly and efficiently:

• Isolate the Red X operation.
• Solve destructive event problems.
• Execute confirmation tests.
• Establish tolerances for one or two key inputs.
• Plan and execute designed experiments.
• Apply the following Shainin tools:
• Active Multi-vari
• Active Concentration Diagrams
• Operations Search^™
• Event to Energy Transform
• Function Models
• Energy Models
• B vs W^™ Tests
• Tolerance Parallelogram^™
• Tolerance Ellipse^™
• Full Factorial Experiments
• The Bennett Method^™

Benefits:

Participants can use the skills and knowledge gained in this course to:

• Solve complex problems quickly and efficiently.
• Apply additional tools and techniques to improve their everyday job functions and tasks.
• Find true root cause and fix the problem rather than applying band aids.

Prerequisite:

Students must have attended the Red X^® Strategies for Problem Solving class (formerly Problem Solving for Manufacturing or Problem Solving for Engineering) class.
