Groupware
• Allows multiple computers to communicate simultaneously.
• Permits nominal groups to be at different locations.
• Makes information widely available.• May cause information overload.

Videotape Analysis
• Operations are recorded so they can be viewed later.
• Multiple people can interact during viewing.• Operator can explain video to team
(autoconfrontation).• Results of meetings may be potential
solutions or indications for further analysis.

Systematic Structured Search
• Identify management’s perception of the problem
• See for yourself• Obtain information from the operator• Get information from the supervisor• Measure light, noise, dimension, etc.

Eliminate Unnecessary Work and Material
• Eliminate unneeded work• Eliminate unneeded work• Use the exception principle• Use self-service
![Page 11: Islamic University of Gaza - Palestine Chapter 5 Search for Solutions](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022083006/56649f345503460f94c51bf9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Simplify Operations
• Provide prepared, written information.• Use jig and fixture designs to simplify
machining.• Shift from counting to sampling.• Use forms, email, phone calls.• Generate less waste.• Automate part of a process (e.g. cleaning).

Alter Sequence
• Simplify (or eliminate) other operations• Reduce idle/delay time
– Do it now vs. do it later– “Inside machine time”– Simultaneous vs. sequential tasks– Central vs. local storage
• Reduce material handling costs– Group technology– “Bus” vs. “taxi” transportation

Requirements
• Quality (capability) costs• Initial vs. continuing costs

Quality (Capability) Costs
• Determine if the level of quality is appropriate and worth the cost.
• Review design tolerances before release to production.
• Allow for concealed costs (unreported rework causes “eddies in the river”).
• Pay attention to indirect materials, supplies, and utility costs.
• Consider selective assembly.

Initial vs. Continuing Costs
• Minimize life-cycle costs, not just initial purchase cost.
• Identify maintenance, operating, and utility costs.
• Expect noneconomic behavior when cost is ignored.

Combine Operations
• Both general purpose and special purpose materials should be considered.
• Specialist job descriptions may be inefficient.• Central departments allow economies of scale.• Advances in communications can be used to
centralize.• Supervisors may resist consolidation.

How Often?
• Use economic lot size calculations.– Trade off setup costs vs. inventory for “make”
items– Trade off purchasing cost vs. inventory for
“buy” items• Analyze maintenance, service, and
inspection activities.• Use red/yellow/green labels to concentrate
resources where needed.
