I used Visualization to analyze & sove a problem at the supplier site in Taiwan. This happened in July- 2018 at one of the major supplier’s facility where we were discussing on bringing down the  manufacturing hours of a chamber. We had different stakeholders in the group from business  development, quality, engineering & manufacturing etc.,

After a long discussion for an hour of chamber manufacturing challenges, I started to draw a picture  during the morning tea-break session. IT is the collective ideas from different group to create a model  on how can we bring down the hours. Communication was little difficult, but the flexible manufacturing  system (FMS) diagram which I draw with multiple rotations of the feature in it. It was well received by  the whole team.

Even though it was well received by our team along with supplier, the investment of the capital  equipment is very high. We were discussing for an economic solution which will be cost effective. We  draw the layout of drawing on how FMS system works in sequence. This gave an idea of using a  rotational table outside the machine as a temporary solution. This will reduce the non-value added  hours in the chamber manufacturing which was our goal to achieve at the end.

I learnt that sharing valuable inputs from multiple group and putting it in a flow will give a clear glimpse  for everyone to understand regardless of language & region. This enables people who are shy to speak  or express their ideas in english to come out of their self-complex situations and draw their views in an  appropriate place. Collective feedback gain new insights in problem solving.
