QU ICK START
Zoom in and out As you work on your poster zoom in and out to the level
that is more comfortable to you.
Go to VIEW > ZOOM.
Title, Authors, and Affiliations Start designing your poster by adding the title, the names of the authors,
and the affiliated institutions. You can type or paste text into the
provided boxes. The template will automatically adjust the size of your
text to fit the title box. You can manually override this feature and
change the size of your text.
TIP: The font size of your title should be bigger than your name(s) and
institution name(s).
Adding Logos / Seals Most often, logos are added on each side of the title. You can insert a
logo by dragging and dropping it from your desktop, copy and paste or by
going to INSERT > PICTURES. Logos taken from web sites are likely to be
low quality when printed. Zoom it at 100% to see what the logo will look

INTRODUCTION
How to launch a new Pizza production unit: The best possible answer is building house of quality as shown below
CASE STUDY
QFD APPLICATIONS
QFD is applied in a wide variety of services, consumer products, military
needs (such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and emerging technology products.
The technique is also used to identify and document competitive marketing
strategies and tactics. QFD is considered a key practice of Design for Six
Sigma (DFSS -as seen in the referenced roadmap). It is also implicated in the
new ISO 9000:2000 standard which focuses on customer satisfaction.
Results of QFD have been applied in Japan and elsewhere into deploying the
high-impact controllable factors in Strategic planning and Strategic
management (also known as Hoshin Kanri, Hoshin Planning, or Policy
Deployment).
Acquiring market needs by listening to the Voice of Customer (VOC), sorting
the needs, and numerically prioritizing them (using techniques such as the
Analytic Hierarchy Process) are the early tasks in QFD. Traditionally, going to
the Gemba (the real place where value is created for the customer) is where
these customer needs are evidenced and compiled.

From the department of: School of Technology
Instructor: Dr. Suhansa Rodchua
Definition: QFD (Quality Function Deployment) is a process of determining
customer requirements and translating them into the attributes that each
functional area can understand and act on.
History of QFD: QFD began nearly 30 years ago in Japan as a quality system
focused on delivering products and services that satisfy customers. It believes
that to efficiently deliver value to customers, it is necessary to listen to the
voice of customer throughout the product or service development process.
House of Quality: One of the tools of QFD is house of quality. It is a
graphic technique for determining the relationship between customer desires
and product.
House of quality is a diagram resembling a house, used for defining the
relationship between customer desires and the product capabilities. As
discussed it is a part of QFD and it utilizes a planning matrix to relate what the
customer wants to how a product is going to meet those wants.
Kano’s requirements: It is a theory od product development and customer
satisfaction model developed by Prof. Noriakai Kano. According to him there
are 3 types of customer requirements to consider and they are like
1. Normal requirements are typically what we get by just asking customers
what they want. These requirements satisfy in proportion to their presence in
the product or service.
2. Expected requirements are often so basic that the customers may fail to
mention them, until we fail to perform them. They are basic expectations
without which the product or service may cease to be of value, their absence
is very dissatisfying.
3. Exciting requirements are difficult to discover because they are beyond
the customers expectations. Their absence doesn’t dissatisfy and their presence
excites.
A Product of Excellence
QFD FOR PIZZA
1. Identify the customer
wants: Identify the main features that any
customer desires in a Pizza and rate
accordingly.
2. Identify how the product
will satisfy the customer’s
wants: In this step, firm’s manager try to
reflect the customer’s desires and
demand into their company product.

3. Identify relations between
our how’s: In this step, organization's matrix
between our how’s.
For example, in my cases, some how’s
are related to one-another. According
to our diagram, we got the following
relations.
4. Develop importance
ratings: This step is quite difficult and longer.
In this step, first we will draw the
relationship matrix between the how’s
and the wants, then we determine the
importance ratings for our final work
to be started. As a last step compare
with pizza companies.
Our importance rating 3 45 30 11 12 12

Functions of Poka - Yoke
(The British Standards Institution, 2008).
Poka-Yoke:
Poka-Yoke is a Japanese term and is a synonym for Error proofing which has it’s origin from to Japanese words, Yokeru(to avoid) and Poka
(inadvertent errors)It is a technique that prevents incorrect parts from being assembled and this can be used to identify the flaws. Poka-Yoke truly
first step in genuine error proofing.(iSixSigma, 2015)
Objectives:
Mistake proofing is required to prevent flaws in the process. Poka-Yoke is one such mechanism used to mistake Proof an entire process enhancing
that there are flawless conditions that exist before commencement of any process, to prevent the defects initially and to make the system perfect. If
not, Poka-Yoke acts/functions as defective/Scrutinizing function(ManageMentor,n.d)
Misconception:
There is a lot of misconception among people of various industries that Poka-Yoke is a technique/tool that can be operated by either as optical
inspection system or guide pins or limit switches or automate shut offs only by the engineering dept. But this is ironic in using Poka-Yoke since
this was actually intended to improve any process until it attains zero defects and can be used by people from any department. This flexibility is
using Poka-Yoke makes it versatile in using among different domains. (ManageMentor,n.d)
When and where do errors occur?
Errors occur in almost all industries and services including our day-to-day life and errors are said to be occurring when there is(miscalculation)
between the expected value and actual value concerned with output (Summers, D. C. (2011).
What are the types of errors?
Errors occurs in various domains be it in assembly or in sales, marketing. Errors are generally diagnosed using why-why diagram and there are
four elements that tend to create errors in the processes. They are Men, Method, Machinery and Material. The use of Poka-yoke mechanism in any
process is generalized and explained in the form of a diagram as shown below.
Parameters/examples used as error proofing devices
Guide pins: to assure that parts can be assembled in correct way
Limit switches: They sense the presence or absence of part
Mistake proofing jigs: Detect defects immediately, upstream process ensuring the correct part reach the process
Counters: verify whether the correct number of steps taken or not
Check list: reminds operators to do certain actions(Khameshra,2013).
Introduction Advantages
Encourages individual accountability for excellence.
Discovers and eradicates defects as early as possible in the process.
Presents immediate response, thus minimizing the time for remedial
action.
Creates a process of consecutive verification for each procedure.
Presents self-check actions which provide quicker review than
consecutive verification.
Makes sure that proper circumstances exist before the actual creation,
and prevents defects from taking place.
Doesn’t just identify the causes of errors but eliminates the causes as
well.
Elimination of defects ultimately increases customer satisfaction.
The focal point is on waste reduction in defects and
processing(Whatissixsigma.net,n.d).
Disadvantages
Error–proofing requires many devices like barcodes, radio frequency
identification, and barrier system which are expensive to implement
(Buckley, 2012).
It is not 100% effective, as it cannot eliminate all defects.
Requires special experienced trainer (Vicario, 2011).
Conclusion
Error-proofing releases workers from repetitive activities by giving them an
opportunity for maximizing their building quality roles, in the process, by
decreasing product deficiencies and the related cost of rework. Therefore, in a
long term, it can ultimately lead to significant improvements in overall project
productivity.

Strategies Make it harder to create the error.
Make it possible to reverse the error.
Make it obvious that the error has occurred.
Detect the deviations from procedures or fixed
values(Khameshra,2013).
Design:
Design process so that it tolerates the error and doesn’t result in
outputs with defects.
Design process to decrease complexity, error free and
versatile/flexible in use.(Khameshra,2013).
Approaches to Mistake Proofing
Control approach:
Shuts down the process when error occurs
High capability of achieving Zero defects.(Khameshra,2013).
Warning approach:
Signals the operator to stop the process and correct the problem
or check for a problem.
Lights and sounds to bring attention to the problem.
.(Khameshra,2013).
Examples
1) The 3 Pin Plug: 3 pin plugs are designed so that the plug can
only be put into a socket in one way. This prevents us from an
electric shock and potential death (Ross, 2013).
2) USB Device: USB devices are designed so that it can only be put
into computer’s slot in one way(Gitachu, 2014).

Value Stream Process Mapping is a lean manufacturing technique
most popular in the automotive industry categorically used to
document, analyze and improve the flow of materials along with
the information that may be used to complete a product or provide
a service eliminating wastes (Muda). VSM is capable of streamlining
any manufacturing process if done effectively in four steps, aptly
identifying the value stream, make current state of the process,
diagnosing each problem end and finally by implementing the
changes. Even the most efficient and profitable companies believe
on doing the VSM at least seven times to achieve accurate results
(Hines, Rich, Esain1999).
INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE and OBJECTIVES
VSM ‘s main focus is to provide optimum value to the
customer through the true usage of a value creation
process with the minimum wastage in design (concept to
customer), build (order to delivery) and sustain (in-use
through life-cycle to service). Taiichi Ohno had developed
material and information flow mapping as a standard
method for mapping for the Toyota production system, this
was later practiced as VSM (Belokar & Kharb, 2012). There
is always a grave & constant concern for automotive
manufacturers over improvising on quality, the delivery &
reducing costs as this would make them more competitive
in the market. The most common problems that auto
makers face are delayed deliveries, longer queues detail
parts, high work in process inventories and improper
efficient use of production lines. These problems increase
the overall cost of production (Singh A & Singh H, 2013).
USES OF VSM IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
Aerospace is a very complex, expensive, technologically sophisticated & redundant
manufacturing businesses. Often aerospace companies tend to plan their production
way ahead of their actual production schedule. This is because of the mandatory
planning and typical lean manufacturing practices that are followed while assessing
and forming the processes for the flow of manufacturing material and its
information. In a typical aerospace assembly manufacturing, the VSM can help
identify wastes as shown in Figure 4. This was a VSM implementation example from
TATA - Sikorsky Corporation JV in India while setting up S-92 helicopter assembly line
which had paid of reduction of a lot of costs.
USES OF VSM IN AEROSPACE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
CONCLUSION VSM has been proven a greatly useful practice to eliminate some
wastes in a every cycle & eventually improves lean practices to be
part of the culture. Identity opportunities are often triggered by a
business requirement for a product or service. The objectives of
VSM is to achieve reduction of wastes in every part of the
manufacturing processes i.e inventory, quality assurance, human
effort, procurement process manufacturing space & the time to
market the product.

VSM helps improve productivity and eliminates wastage by the
usage of lean principles in any particular process. VSM is visual
oriented lean tool which identifies, demonstrates and decreases
wastage in the process and works on implementation in four major
steps as shown below in Figure 2. (Belokar & Kharb, 2012).
VALUE STREAM PROCESS MAPPING

Figure 2. Four major Steps of VSM Implementation (Belokar & Kharb,
2012).
VSM is made possible by using certain VSM class symbols namely
basic flow unit entities and flows, Physical entities, Buffer
entities, Flow control entities and Data table & Measurement. VSM
typically is capable of gathering and displaying a far broader range
of information compared to other typical process maps, VSM can
be used at a broader level involving end to end processes from
receiving raw material to finished products (Lian, & Van
Landeghem, 2007).

VSM tends to be at higher level than other process maps which not only is used to identify where to focus on future projects but also allows us to
work on subprojects and stay on tune with the Kaizen events. A VSM system map not only takes into account the activity of the product but also
the information system and its management into perspective that support the basic processes, this can be handy especially when we are trying to
gain an insight to better decision making flows and working upon reducing cycle times (Lian, & Van Landeghem, 2007).

Performing VSM activity takes serious skill, expertise and perseverance to achieve the goal
of turning all activities and processes lean in each of the functions to obtain its “Value
Stream”. In aerospace, the costs spent on each process has a huge impact on the overall
budget of the program due to its opulent nature. VSM involves following the production path
from End-to-End by drawing the visual representation of each process at the current state &
find improvements and recommendations to be more efficient and effective both
individually and collectively to satisfy the customer demand. Figure 5. Typical VSM activity by function
