Official document mapping DBS courses to specific roles—14 functions, 36 roles, 164 rows, course names in recommended study order, each course with a teaching qualification (Master Black Belt 128 rows / Certified Instructor 34 rows / Not required 2 rows).
Fifteen role-specific onboarding checklists; 151 actions compressed into five time gates: Week 1/30/90/180/270; Common Minimum Set has four items, Quasi-Common has one (production frontline does not learn root cause), management roles have five additional; has gates, no criteria, no overdue consequences.
Five days of intensive fieldwork for new DBS leaders, hand-on benefit conversion, standard operations and 5S at workshops.
Introduction training and deployment courses for organizations to import the DBS system.
Danaher Business System: a management system that starts from the voice of the customer and uses full participation to continuously improve quality, delivery, and cost in pursuit of world-class excellence (the 2020 glossary lists three dimensions; the official DBS Introduction adds a fourth — innovation).
Responsible for the evolution, advocacy and governance of an entry in the DBS toolbox (tools/best practices/courses/virtual learning).
The DBS class, which uses the regulatory environment (FDA/QSR and import/export controls), is an independent certification path for IMEX, both on how to improve compliance.
The paragraph after certification – which of these is the one that determines whether a trained and certified DBS leader needs to do it again now; it consists of annual workshops, single-point classes per month, and three different channels for the required lessons, measuring whether the calculator has been maintained after three months of events that he has guided. The corresponding module has no package material, and the tool card is a re-building element. The monthly telephone conference hosted by the alias “One-point course” is not the same as the single-point course (OPL) in the TPM context.
Clear criteria for determining the real "finished" of the task in the agile development.
Firm: All materials, production and production capacity are fixed, closest to the current period.
A branch of FMEA that identifies potential failure modes, effects, and causes during the product design phase, and evaluates risk using severity, occurrence, and detection to drive design preventive actions.
A design approach that proactively reduces the number of parts, simplifies assembly orientation and connection methods during the product design phase, making the product easier, safer, and less costly to manufacture and assemble.
Processes that extend from the project definition phase to product de-marketing, and that incorporate reliability design into products to meet client expectations and minimize full life-cycle costs.
The FMEA score for whether the controls in place can catch a failure before it reaches the next step; a higher score means it is harder to catch.
The frequency pattern of each value in a set of data (center, spread, shape), such as Normal Distribution and Poisson distribution.
The goal-setting starting point is instructive: good things double and bad things halve; the original states that it is only the starting point, not the goal itself.
The frequency at which a single product or service is completed at the end of a process, i.e., the interval between two finished units coming out one after the other; it is a field in the value stream data box, not inventory days; the official English instructor guide writes it as Drop Off Rate (D/R).
The viewboard management method is adjusted to the dynamic changes in demand.
In a changing work environment, work is assigned to the right staff at the right time.
The refilling signal for the watchboard, supplier confirmation and capacity recalculation, is a set of capabilities implemented on the system; it is not a viewing solution, but an enhancement of the viewboard, and the uplink is based on the fact that the viewboard system is already in place at the site and the board discipline is displayed.
A design-simplification process within Speed Design Review (SDR) that reduces part count: eliminate, combine, alternative methods, change assembly sequence, simplify.
The indicator of residual earnings, net operating profits after taxes minus capital costs, is the measure of financial performance most closely linked to shareholder values.
A picture of how clients create value for their clients, similar to a "client does one thing" stream, is constructed from a critical picture perspective.
Eight common types of waste (Muda) — defects, overproduction, waiting, unused creativity, transportation, inventory, motion, and over-processing (the mnemonic is DOWNTIME); the source material calls this "also known as Muda," but this glossary does not adopt that phrasing, because waste is the umbrella concept in lean analysis and is not the same as this eight-item checklist (see the "Waste" entry).
Assign the people capacity freed by improvement to other valuable work, and implement training, receiving responsibility, and handover.
The proportion of target employees who remain in the organization during a given period out of the initial or comparable employee group, used to observe the organization's ability to retain key talent; the higher the value, the better.
Connect energy purchase, conversion, distribution and end use with meters, defining equipment, time and service covered by the analysis.
Data dictionary recording measurement point identity, physical coverage, measured quantity, unit, multiplier, sampling and revision rules.
Match power with duration in each operating state to analyze energy demand in relation to delivered service.
General designation in the field of environment, health and safety management.
EHS Improving Four Types of Concerns: Environment, Energy, Human Engineering and Exposure.
A complete set of verdict and device methods designed to make errors impossible or to ensure errors are detected before they become defects; the core proposition is that errors are inevitable but defects are avoidable. Devices have three capability levels (prevent occurrence / detect the error / detect the defect); the verdict prioritizes the level first, and only then whether the seven steps were completed.
The DBS Advanced Overview Course for New Seniors, covering Danaher culture, value flow mapping and strategic deployment, is an important part of the HLCM integration plan.
The early senior leadership training project is no longer in use.
A factory energy management information system integrating energy metering, data governance, energy consumption analysis, and anomaly handling.
(c) To assess the potential severity of the failure and identify sources of the failure, and then to implement a structured approach to remedy to prevent it.
The units were actually in bulk operation; the materials were given eight self-checks, including "unit width > 5 feet " .
Financial reading skills for those responsible for loss and loss: translating field actions into profit and loss statements, balance sheets and cash flow statement drop points and identifying the impact of basis and combination on profitability. The measurement layer and ROIC caliber are cvd, accounting claims are jit-accunding, and this article only deals with "where those who read the watch are being cheated".
A capacity-limited lane that guarantees whatever entered first is handled first and forbids adding more once it is full; it is both a queue rule and a way to connect two operations without a supermarket.
The proportion of products that pass through the process without defects at one time; the caliber is the ratio of good practices per process, not the rate of the lowest process (the error of the pedagogic naming).
A simple problem-analysis method that asks "why" five times in a row to close in on the root cause. Limitations: time-consuming, results are not reproducible across teams, does not guarantee finding the true cause, and the outcome depends on the quality of the questions asked.
In the project charter, cost, time, and performance are each ranked as "least flexible / middle / most flexible" (the card and rule pack uniformly call this the flexibility matrix); ties are not allowed—a tie means no ranking.
The ability to allow products or processes to move in the shortest possible delivery cycle, in a high quality and in the most economical manner.
A sequence of several tools arranged in order, with each step explaining "why this step is here"; the product presets dozens of them (the source of truth is knowledge/flows.yaml), and you can also assemble your own on the canvas.
The problem-solving tool for the diagram of processes compares "status" with "due" processes and makes waste visible.
The idea of rejecting bulk processing: products move between processes in a minimum increment (extremely single), with back-track pulls as needed, and only qualified goods can flow into the next process.
When entering a tool page from a process or project page, only the current tool is displayed; other tools on the same page are collapsed, with a path back provided.
The United States Government agency responsible for food and pharmaceutical regulation.
