E24: The 8 Nelson Rules for Detecting Out of Control Conditions in a Statistical Process Control (SPC) Chart - Lean Portland Happy Hour - July 2023
<p>When using Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts to monitor your process, you are comparing your current data to historical data to determine if the process is similar or different. The basis for this decision lies in the Western Electric Rules (now called Nelson Rules) for detecting out of control conditions.</p> <p>For example, if you detect 6 consecutive data points going upwards from the previous data point, that is considered a trend, and the process should be stopped to investigate if there is a problem or not.</p> <p>Brion Hurley, Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt with Business Performance Improvement, will discuss these rules in depth, and explain how they can help you more quickly identify problems in your process. Q&A will follow the presentation.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch the video of this presentation: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmcN25qf49Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmcN25qf49Y</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Learn more about our upcoming Lean for Social Good Unconference on December 5, 2023!</p> <p><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lean-portland-virtual-unconference-tickets-701112705977?" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lean-portland-virtual-unconference-tickets-701112705977?</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>ABOUT US: </p> <p>Lean Portland is a socially-driven community built organization for both new and experienced continuous improvement professionals.

E23: Calculating Financial Benefits for Improvement Projects - Lean Portland Happy Hour - July 2022
<p>After making improvements to your processes, a best practice is to calculate the benefits to the organization. Calculating financial benefits is an important part of building momentum for improvement with upper management.
