This guide has been designed as a quick reference for the use of Inferential Statistics to extrapolate information about your project from a sampling of data. Since we typically cannot gather 100% of the information we need to proceed with our project we must employ some tools that allow us to make acceptable conclusions with less than all the data. That is the benefit Inferential Statistics gives us – we are able to make reasonable conclusions from less than all the information. This is a 16 page reference guide including any applicable templates and data sets.

This guide has been designed as a quick reference for the key elements of implementing waste reduction, workplace organization and poka-yoke – elements of the Lean methodologies. The essence of Lean is to concentrate effort on removing waste while improving process flow to achieve speed and agility at lower cost. The focus of Lean is to increase the percentage of value-added work performed by a company. Lean recognizes that most businesses spend a relatively small portion of their energies on the true delivery of value to a customer. While all companies are busy, it is estimated for some companies that as little as 10% of their time is spent on value-added work, meaning as much as 90% of time is allocated to non value-added activities, or waste. This is a 18 page reference guide including any applicable templates and data sets.

This guide has been designed as a quick reference for the key elements of creating and using a Value Stream Map. A Value Stream is all of the actions (both value-added and non-value added) currently required to deliver a product or a service. It is the work activity and information flow occurring as raw material or information becomes a product/service that is delivered to a customer. It is the flow of paper and information from its origin or initial request, to the desired service or action, to its final delivery to the user or customer. It is the entire flow, from door to door. It can be comprised of several key process areas that together achieve the deliverable. This is a 18 page reference guide including any applicable templates and data sets.

This guide has been designed as a quick reference for the key elements of creating and using an X-Y Matrix Analysis. The Cause and Effect Matrix, also known as an X-Y Matrix, is a relatively simple matrix used to relate and prioritize X's to process output Y's through numerical ranking using the Process Map as the primary source of information. It can also be used with input from brainstorming tools like the Affinity Diagrams. The goal of the Cause and Effect Matrix is to numerically estimate the relationship of Y=f(X), based on the combined knowledge of the improvement team.
