We don’t live in a static world. Dynamic visualization and visual management are essential elements of Lean Six Sigma; they link data and problem solving. As with detective work, it is important to be able to spot clues and patterns of behavior in a situation. Establishing a visual environment enables rapid processing of large data sets, which leads to quick detection of trends and outliers. The goal of Lean is elimination of waste. Waste is present in many forms, such as waiting for information, moving data to multiple sources, and over-processing data. Data visualization allows for reduction of these waste streams.
This presentation provides a real-life case study where JMP is utilized to help “move the data to a story” in a visual way that aids in communicating information, eliminating waste, and driving continuous improvement. This case highlights the use of JMP tools, such as Excel import, Query Builder, Graph Builder, data filters, control charts, basic modeling, reporting, and dashboards. The presentation also explains how visual management helped engage and empower employees throughout the organization.
