Controlling Project during Development with a Defect Model, Ben Linders, Euro...Ben Linders
To get more insight into the quality of the product during development, it is needed to measure processes with two views: Introduction of defects, and detection. Introduction is done during the requirements, architecture, design and coding phases; defects are either introduced into documents or into the actual product code. Detection is done in test phases, and in the previously mentioned phases by means of inspections and reviews. By using these two measurements, a project can determine if and what the quality risk is: Too many defects in the product, or insufficient testing done.
The presentation will focus upon:
- Goals: What was the purpose of the model, why was it developed, what did we want to reach?
- How: Both the definition of the model and its implementation and application will be highlighted?
- Tools: The tool that was developed to implement the model, how it works, strengths.
- Results: How did the model and tool help the project? Did it live up to its purpose?
- Success factors: What were the key issues that we have dealt successfully with? Why did we focus on them, and how?
- Future: How is this model used in future projects, what could further increase its benefits?
The presentation will show the benefits that the model/tool has brought to the project and organisation. Mainly it was the ability to manage process & product quality, and support decisions, based on data collected in the project and industrial date, i.e. without having to build up historical data in previous projects.
The defect model uses techniques like Orthogonal Defect Classification and Test Matrices for analysis of the defect data. Feedback of the data towards designers, testers, and project management was key in validating the data, and getting good analysis results for corrective and preventive actions.

The presentation will show how Root Cause Analysis (RCA) can be applied in way that it supports reaching the business goals of an organisation. It is based on the results of an investigation done after applying RCA for several years. This has lead to effective RCA methods, applied at specific points in the processes, with significant results.
Also the role of RCA in Total Quality Management and Statistical Process Control is explained, and RCA as a pragmatic implementation of the CMMI Causal Analysis & Resolution process area is elaborated.

Metrics, KPIs, and Process Insights – Implementing High Performance Manufactu...Northwest Analytics
John Jackiw discusses the optimal strategies to identify and organize the right metrics and use the right analytics to produce the actionable information needed for best-in-class performance.
As recent MESA studies show, the best performing companies most aggressively use manufacturing process metrics to guide decision making. Informed operations and management decisions will push both routine operations and strategic activities to the highest performance levels.
High performance management depends upon actionable intelligence based on the right information. Producing that information depends upon selecting the right metrics and identifying the right data sources.
The first step is to review the available metrics as process parameters in general and determine which are Key Performance Indicators (KPI) in particular. The second is to determine which data is needed. While the easy choice is to use accessible existing data, a more thorough analysis can direct the company to seek out the data that is really critical to understanding process performance.

John Jackiw is Business Development Manager at Alta Via Consulting. He is an active member of MESA International where he is a founding member of the Global education team, a MESA Authorized Instructor (MAI), and serves on the metrics committee as team leader and project manager of the MESA publication “Metrics Framework and Guidebook 2nd Edition”.

Innovation is a key element for companies in providing growth and for increasing results. Innovation means a new way of doing business; it may refer to incremental, radical and/or revolutionary changes in extracting value for a business through a fundamental change in approach to a market, a technology, or a process. A company that overlooks new and better ways of doing business will eventually lose customers to another competitor that has found a better way.
However innovations as any other aspect of a business require an investment and investment is about the future. Sometimes you invest in a future that plays by the same rules as today. Other investment is about a new future that plays by new rules. If you make investment decisions on an extrapolated new future based on the today’s rules then you can make costly mistakes.
Investment decisions can require complex analyses. To make them easier, managers often use tools to help with the financial analysis. The problem with these tools is that they often value innovation and non innovation in the same terms. They encourage managers to make unfair demands on returns on investment for internal innovation projects.
We believe that creativity is a process not an accident (“chance prefers the prepared mind”), although it’s often tempting to believe that individuals are creative or non-creative. Creative people also love to play around with the ideas that they collect. For them everything is connected – part of an overall pattern. Old ideas are moved around, combined, squeezed, and stretched to make new ideas.
Innovation within businesses is achieved in many ways. One way involves the use of creativity techniques. These are methods that encourage original thoughts and divergent thinking (e. g. brainstorming, morphological analysis, TRIZ). New ideas that have been generated by the use of creativity techniques have to be structured and evaluated. In order to complete the innovation process the selected promising ideas have to be deployed into practice.
For this reason we have developed a structured methodology that supports the ongoing evaluation of innovations throughout the prioritization, piloting, and deployment lifecycle We make use of process performance analyses as an input to three levels of statistical thinking that support the innovation process from identified needs to pilot results.
The first step is collect together old ideas – as well as existing facts. You need to know as much about the world in general and get a solid, deep working knowledge of the business situation that underlies the need for a new idea. This may seem daunting or unnecessary, but facts are the raw material for innovation. And because of changes to markets, competition, regulation, and technologies, “old ideas” previously dismissed may, perhaps after further adaptation, take on renewed promise.
It is important to approach innovation and its evaluation through a broad appreciation for causality: al

Game Changing Quality Strategies that Drive Organizational Excellencekushshah
Quality in the past was more related conforming to requirements, in lot of cases as it relates to engineering requirements and not necessarily enthusiastic customer experience. It was a very narrow definition of quality and focused more on Things Gone Wrong. Goal was to reach a level of customer accepted.
Quality definition today is much broader and winning in quality in this highly competitive environment requires deployment game changing quality strategies.
We will discuss how to infuse the voice of the customer into the way we design our products and services so that they exceed customer expectations. Organizations that engage all functions within enterprise and are customer centric will differentiate themselves from the rest of the competition. This presentation will provide an integrated roadmap on how to integrate proactive quality strategies such as Design for Six Sigma (DFSS), Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) along with reactive strategies such as Six Sigma and control plans to achieve organizational excellence.

How to Build Data Governance Programs That Last: A Business-First ApproachPrecisely
Traditional data governance initiatives fail by focusing too heavily on policies, compliance, and enforcement, which quickly lose business interest and support. This leaves governance leaders and data stewards having to continually make the case for data governance to secure business adoption.
In this introductory session, we will share the core components of a business-first data governance approach that promotes organizational adoption, lays the foundation for data integrity, and consistently delivers business value for the long term.
One day overview of Continuous Process Improvement that combines Franklin Covey Project Management, our Systems Thinking Model and the DMAIC Model. The participants apply the learnings to improve the process in a PB&J Sandwich factory.
