Are You Using Stone Age or Space Age Charts for Quality Improvement?
“Hi, I’m Jay Arthur, author of “Lean Six Sigma For Hospitals” and QI Macros [software].
“I go to all these conferences and I see all these poster presentations and what do I see: Line and bar charts. Those are from the Stone Age. That’s from the birth of Microsoft Excel back in the 80s. Those are Stone Age charts.
“Control charts have been around for almost 100 years, but they are Space Age charts. So are you going to stick with Stone Age charts or you going to move up into Space Age charts?

Too many companies use management by spreadsheet which just doesn’t work anymore. Here’s why:
“Hi, I’m Jay Arthur, author of “Lean Six Sigma For Hospitals” and QI Macros [software].
“I think far too many companies do management by spreadsheet or leadership by spreadsheet: They look at spreadsheets and they think, “Why’s this number up? Why’s this number down?” Blah blah blah blah blah… They don’t really understand that it’s all in statistical process control and you should stop talking about it. Right? Stop chasing Wild Goose chases, all right?
“So what do we want to do? We want to go from this ‘hindsight spreadsheet mentality,’ where they have heat maps and they think, “Well, this one’s too high, this one’s too low, this one’s below our target…” Right?

Ever noticed that some people struggle to learn Quality Improvement and Lean Six Sigma Here’s why:
“I’m Jay Arthur, author of “Lean Six Sigma Demystified” and QI Macros [software].
“I talked about Tim Ferriss’ approach to simplifying things. He also points out that in many situations when people are coming on board there are certain failure points: where do they fail? His cooking book is about having too complicated a recipe, or too many things that had to get done at the same time. So how do we make it up so that they don’t have that problem? How do we eliminate the failure points?
