Visualization Tool

Challenge and Selection

I am working as a tool manufacturing engineering team leader in a well-known factory which is in  automotive sector. Moreover, my team is responsible from whole tool process that are using at assembly  and machining lines. The tool which I have used is visualization. The probability of work accident is very  common in a factory environment. Sometimes, it depends on an operation tool in a process with non- standard activities. Recently, an accident was happened related with tool. I evaluated this incident with  my team via visualization tool.

Application

Firstly, I showed technical drawing of the tool for being sure that we all are in the same page. Furthermore,  we have watched video of the related process for getting ready to brainstorming. It is a way to get people  concentrated.

Secondly, I have drawn a fishbone diagram for finding possible root causes. I wrote problem and main  related topics with different colors and shapes. We discussed all main topics one by one. Everyone focused  on the same thing and understood each other clearly.

Lastly, after finding root cause we started to work on actions. For example, we sketched the design of a  new tool on the board.

Insight and Approach

I have learned from using this tool is that, the main point is understand the situation without any comment.  Visualization is not only the way of being parallel inference but also the way of triggering creative solutions.  Moreover, valuable aspect of the activity is seeming a positive union team with no doubt relevant subject  or creative solutions. Solutions were coming in sight very short period because of clear problem definition.

For future subjects and processes, I am going to use visualization tool whole steps for having rich  understanding, getting solutions and efficient teamworks with another point of views.
