Steps
Step 1
Data Collection and Analysis
This step performs systematic analysis of industrial engineering problems, identifying the nature of problems and improvement opportunities. Industrial engineering focuses on system optimization, evaluating system status from efficiency, quality, cost dimensions through data analysis and process modeling. Diagnose root causes using value stream mapping, process analysis, statistical data and other methods.
• Conduct site investigation and data collection, obtain operation time data using stopwatch method, work sampling or video analysis
• Draw value stream map (VSM) or process flow chart, identify bottleneck processes, waste links and improvement points
• Apply statistical methods for data analysis, distinguish random fluctuations from abnormal factors, determine key influencing variables
Deliverable: Current state analysis report (including data collection table, process flow/VSM, problem diagnosis, improvement opportunity analysis) | Quality standard: Sufficient data, in-depth analysis, accurate problem定位, clear improvement opportunities
