The Challenge
The president of a $500 million dollar a year manufacturer and supplier of truck gear-shift levers was worried. Scrap rates were not where they needed to be and profits were suffering.
- The executive team had lots of ideas as to how to reduce scrap and make the company improve.
- Unfortunately, they could execute only a limited number of actions.
- They did not want to rely on the "best guesses" of their experts to determine the actions.
- Since they knew that testing every idea would take far too long, MVT® was the perfect solution.
The Approach - The MVT® Process
- QualPro consultants thoroughly analyzed four years of historical data.
- They brainstormed with employees throughout the organization.
- Hundreds of ideas were generated as to how to reduce scrap and improve profits.
- The long list of ideas was then narrowed to the 25 that were practical, fast and cost free.
- QualPro helped the company construct and execute an MVT® experiment that determined the impact of all 25 ideas with only 28 test recipes.
Testing every combination of the 25 ideas would have required almost 34 million tests and taken several lifetimes! Using MVT® experimentation, the company was able to test only 28 of the 34,000,000 potential combinations to reveal the best solution.
