1. How is the Seven-Step Method (SSM) different from Deming’s PDCA cycle?
2. Prepare a cause-and-effect or fishbone diagram for a problem such as “Why customers have long waits for coffee.” Use Figure 7.7 as a guide.
3. How would you resolve the difficulties that study teams have experienced when applying the SSM?
8-16
The Seven-Step Method (SSM)
Step 1: Define the project Step 2: Study the current situation Step 3: Analyze the potential causes Step 4: Implement a solution Step 5: Check the results Step 6: Standardize the improvement Step 7: Establish future plans
8-17
Topics for Discussion Discuss why Deming’s 14-point program was
rejected by U.S. firms but embraced by the Japanese following World War II.
Explain how the application of the DPCA cycle can support a competitive strategy of low cost leadership.
What are the limitations of “benchmarking”? Articulate a process in which DEA can be used
to improve the performance of an elementary school district.

Interactive Exercise
Perform a walk-through audit of the class experience by recording responses on a five point Likert scale using a show of hands without the professor present. Average the student responses for each statement and use a graph to compare the results with the professor’s own assessment.
