1.1 Explanation of Sequential Steps
Irrespective of Process used by circles i.e.
– 12 Step Problem Solving Process suggested by QCFI
– 7 Step Problem Solving Process
– 8 D Problem Solving Process
– 6 Step Problem Solving Process
– Six Sigma Methodology (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve & Control),
Teams focus should that they have taken care of steps and solved the problem in a systematic way.
1.2. Clarity
Ensure that they have used comprehensive vocabulary. Difficult concepts explained with example.
– Is the presentation well-structured?
– Is the general context of the problem well explained?
– Is the problem well explained? (Why is it an important problem?)
– Is the proposed solution well explained?
– Does the presentation give a (short) overview of earlier and related work(after)?
– Is Diagnostic / Remedial journey clearly explained?
– Is the conclusion clear and relevant?
– Is the presentation not too technical? Were there unnecesary details that could have been omitted? Is all necessary terminology explained?
– Is the presentation not too simple? Were there aspects that could have been omitted because they were standard, obvious, or already well-known by the target audience?
1.3. Team Participation
We do not expect all the members to participate in presentation, but we do expect contribution of each in completing the task in any manner. So even if all the members are not making the presentation it is all right, particularly if the circle is new.
2.0 Time Management
