| When tough problems present themselves, the design engineers, or problem solvers, must step back and see the problem from a fresh perspective. This is very difficult
for the resident engineer because of time pressures, and the fact that the engineer is sometimes too close to the problem. The resident engineer may have a vast knowledge
of the product or process, however, the resident engineer may also be constrained by many paradigms which have been built up over the years and which may prevent the
engineer from finding the best solution. By using TEA to help solve the problem, a fresh point of view is brought to the table. In addition, an analytical approach is used to first determine the real cause of the problem and then uncover the optimum solution for the particular problem. One important point to keep in mind is that the resident engineer who is working on solving a problem seldom has the opportunity to devote 100% of his or her time to concentrating on the cause and solution of the problem. The resident engineer must juggle many projects at the same time. In addition, many interruptions include phone calls, other project deadlines, the inevitable flare-up of another crisis, and hundreds of other distractions from the production floor or design environment. TEA has the luxury of being able to concentrate 100% of its resources on the particular problem at hand. With the presence of ISO9000 and QS9000, many engineers have been trained in various techniques, including Design of Experiments (DOE), and in some cases, Finite Element Analysis (FEA). However, due to other priorities and responsibilities, these techniques are often not used on a regular basis by engineers. In order for these techniques to be used efficiently, they must be used very frequently, otherwise it takes at least three or four times longer to become reacquainted with the process. Very often a number of tries must be made in order to acquire the proper answer. TEA uses these techniques on a regular basis for many clients and, as noted above, classes and seminars are offered on these subjects. This means that answers are determined in a Timely fashion! |
