Mark the situations that pose a problem.
The customer complains about 3 parts in this week and the cause of the error is unclear. Every Monday, the committee is higher than Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Although a training concept on paint defects has reached every employee, the scrap in the paint shop is constantly poor. **Every time when you don't know the reason of a state or situation you can call this a problem.
26
What is a failure, what is a problem?
failure • mismatch of your determined requirements • unwanted status (e.g. product/process) problem • if the path to your solution is not obvious • unwanted status reoccurs **A failure is not necessarily a problem. It becomes a problem if your activity to fix the failure is not successful and you don't know the root cause of the failure.
27
What is an abnormality at a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) in your Shopfloor Management?
if a KPI bounces significantly if a value changes without influencing the process
28
Which of the following statements about the 8D report are correct?
* The 8D method is suitable for complicated problem solving * If I have a simple problem, I solve it and monitor whether the problem reappears. If there are repeated errors, I go into a new process with an 8-step problem solving sheet * For an 8D process I need a team of several experts
29
Which of the following statements are correct for problem solving?
Good shopfloor management is an early indicator of problems. On a control chart I can see the course of my value as well as the customer requirements for the value and the intervention limits in the factory.
30
Assign the tools necessary for simple problems to the need for advanced tools.

KPIs • Define counter measures • Check progress on problem-solving; escalate if support is required Problem-Solving • Following problem-solving according to PDCA / A3 Problem- solving process • Derive & implement preventive measures based on prognoses
42
What are the criteria for the evaluation of the SFM phases?
Preparation Process • Analogue: manually on paper based on observations & discussions • Automatic: data will be recorded, processed & visualized automatically • Digital: manual execution based on digital data SFM Meeting • Visualization: answer to what happened is given • Transparency: answer to why it happened is given • Prognoses: answer to the question what will happen is given • Autonomy: system derives & executes measures Problem-solving • on premises analogue: Problem-solving process is documented and tracked on paper-base • Integrated digital system (MES): access for every stakeholder – link to affected KPI’s is given • anywhere digital: documentation & tracking in document-based systems
43
