The Shainin method consists of the following steps: 1. Determine if the method can solve the specific issue 2. 'To translate' the issue (the characteristic) to a measurable quantity 3. To reduce the search area ('Intelligent Searching') 4. To determine the cause(s) 5. To quantify the effect of the causes 6. To verify the suggested improvement 7. To determine process parameter borders 8. To control the process The following tools have been developed to apply this method: 1. Components Search 2. Multi vari chart 3. Paired Comparison 4. Variables Search 5. Full Factorials 6. Better vs current 7. Scatter Plots 8. Process Certification 9. Operator Certification Click to expand...
Wes, Just out of curiousity, which do you consider "old hat" and which do you have no clue about? Let me present my take on Shainin. The Shainin techniques and training are proprietary, so it is hard to find much on the web (unlike six sigma, where any consultant can certify new black belts). If you can find an old copy of "World Class Qualty" by Keki R. Bhote, it describes many of these techniques. And yes, many of them are "old hat". The goal, as I understand it (I haven't been through the training), is to simplify calculations and present some standardized approaches to problem-solving so that you don't need an advanced degree in statistics or engineering to use the techniques. Statistical calculations are replaced by simple comparisons. * In B vs C, suppose you have some samples from your C urrent process and some samples from the (hopefully) B etter process. Any statistician could calculate and interpret a t-test, but suppose you don't have a statistican (or suppose the results are simply a rank order, rather than actual values). B vs C testing provides some simple rules where all you have to do is rank the samples. I don't have the rules handy, but they go something like "if you test 3 C and 3 B, and 3 of the top 4 are C, then C is better." There are many variations depending on how many of each type you have to test. Just rank and check the chart with the rules. * In precontrol, you simply divide the spec limits into three ranges - the middle half is "green", the upper quarter and lower quarter are "yellow" and anything outside the spec limits is "red". Forget all the "two out of three at least 2 sigma from the center" type rules for traditional control charts. All you do is draw 2 samples. One "red" or 2 "yellows" means you have a problem. The statistical power will be reduced, but the point is that a floor worker can do the measurements, plot it on a chart, and immediately know what to do without any math. Similarly, the DOE-type techniques (full factorial, component search, etc) tend to be straightforward to implement and to interpret. They may not be the best techniques if you are an expert, but they are usually easy to use. Tim F
OK - Here's what I understand about items in the list: Also bear in mind that I no longer have the patience or the math skills to do Analysis of Variation (ANOVA) on my own - I need software to do this for me. Shainins Seven Diagnostic Tools Multi Vary Charts These are fundamentally a stratified experiment directed at identifying Red x and Pink x. (Causes of variation). They look like but should not be confused with control charts. OK - this is always a good starting point for a DOE - find the causes of variation Components Search This is a tool used where a product can be disassembled and re assembled and is used to find poor quality or failing components Doh! If you can do this, you can probably spot the choke points and stumbling blocks as you look at the components. Paired Comparisons This tool uses the above tools to further home in on the family of Red x and Pink x using binary queues. It attempts to use high and low factors to reduce the number of experiments. OK. So? Better vs current After a series of tests have been carried out to determine causes of variation B v's C issued to compare 3 current methods of production with 3 better methods with 5 possible outcomes ranging from the possibility that current methods give results at least as good as the better ones through to the option where even the worst results from the 'better' options are better that the best current methods. This was news to me. I'm still not clear where multiple "current methods" came from or how they derive the "better methods" in the first place - it may be simple if you take the course, but mystifies me now. In many industries, it is EXPENSIVE to actually run an alternate process side by side with a current process to make the comparison. Scatter Plots This is a graphical representation of results from experiments. It aims to look at the tolerance limits of data in order to determine the true cause of variation. Yep! Old hat, but very worthwhile. Full Factorials Shainin recommends the use of the full factorials, as they are not likely to miss important data, which he believes is possible with Orthogonal Arrays. Most of the things I've dealt with had too many variables and possible ways to go to take the time and effort to do "Full Factorials." So this is old hat, but not meaningful in my experience because the cost of doing the DOE using this offsets any savings in process. Staff and process certification leave me a little mystified - exactly how is this different from determining ANY area for improvement? Certainly, you want to make sure of the capability and capacity of personnel and machinery. Is this stuff for a chapter for any but raw greenhorns? Raw greenhorns are not usually in charge of designing experiments for process improvement. I respect the math and statistical skills of many here in the Cove who are able to do stuff routinely in manipulating numbers when I have to check a cheat sheet for formulas, simply because I don't use them often enough to retain them in memory. Ultimately, though, a Design of Experiments is supposed to point the way to methods where the process operators do NOT have to use "brute force" by testing every possible modification of a product or process to attain the most cost-effective method of manufacture. A good DOE often involves a team [of experts on materials, machines, function of finished product, market competition, new product designs in the pipeline, etc.] to make the determination when continuing effort to improve a process will not generate sufficient efficiencies to justify the cost of experimenting. In my opinion, DOE by Shainin or Taguchi, or anyone else needs to keep the "big picture" in focus all the time to avoid "analysis paralysis" where the DOE becomes more important than selling product. I have no axe to grind against Shainin or any of the other DOE systems. I try to keep in mind DOE is merely one of the tools in my kit. I also have visions of Red Beads and Funnels dancing in my head all the time and always worry about bad processes or "tampering."

The Shainin System, developed by Dorian Shainin, is a structured method for solving complex problems. Technical problems are addressed using Red X Problem Solving to drill down to the hidden source of the problem. Business process problems are addressed using TransaXional, a function-based approach to reveal where the process is breaking down.
In 1998, John joined Shainin, where he has spent the last 25 years pursuing his passion for problem-solving. During his time here, John has developed innovative approaches to problem-solving, having received a US Patent for a problem-solving method.
When problems arise, you need a solution fast. You need a strategy to ditch your long list of possible causes and narrow your focus to the one that matters most. With Red X in your toolbox, you can. 1. Solve Fast. Eliminate unnecessary testing and streamline your problem solving efforts for speed and accuracy. 2. Get it Right.

more efficient than brainstorming. Shainin (1993) states, ''there is no place for subjective methods such as brainstorming or fish bone diagrams in serious problem solving.'' We agree with this statement when the goal is to find a dominant cause; however, we disagree when we are looking for a solution, having identified a dominant cause.

Shainin DOE is a modern method for Design of Experiments developed by Dorian Shainin.It is a tool used in Shainin approach to problem solving to screen the significant factors. While Shainin DOE is similar to classical DOE in concept, the former does not rely on parametrics statistics and hence becomes an easier alternative for many organizations.
In this paper, a high order meshless numerical scheme based on the Generalized Finite Difference Method (GFDM) is proposed to analyze the anisotropic elliptic interface problem. The GFDM has an advantage in dealing with some anisotropic elliptic problems with complex interfaces, interface conditions with the jump of derivatives.

In problem-solving, the allure of a familiar method can be the siren in the distance, compelling you toward a bad outcome. In this case, the "familiar" often overshadows the potential for innovative solutions, leading to cognitive biases that stymie creativity and efficiency. Such biases, deeply ingrained in our decision-making processes ...
