First you have to come up with a work place – Let's say you work at a factory that produces plastic furniture for the outdoors. Here are some tools your managers might use to make their employees produce better products.
Flow Chart
This is a diagram that applies graphic symbols to show the nature and flow of the procedures in a process. It will be used to identify problem areas and improvement openings (Chiarini, 2011). It will also promote process understanding and offer a tool for training the workers.
Cause and Effect Diagram
This refers to a graphic tool that assists in identifying, sorting, and showing possible causes of a problem or quality features (Chiarini, 2011). It will be used to determine root causes, encourage teamwork in the organization, and show possible causes of variations.
Pareto Chart
This is a bar chart organized in descending sequence of height from left to right. The bars on left are comparatively more significant than those on the right (Chiarini, 2011). It will be used to show where to focus efforts, find out the most important factors influence a process, and enables a better use of scarce resources.
Histogram
This refers to a bar graph that depicts the spread of data. It will be used in the firm to communicate information to the team, summarize large data sets in the graphs, and compare and contrast measurements to standards (Chiarini, 2011).
Of course, these are not specific to the industry I've chosen, but nonetheless can be applied to several make-believe scenarios. Also, you'll need to include 2 more tools. I've referenced Chiarini below in case it's required:
