For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What are the tools when: Assessing what could go wrong and where
What are the tools when: Understanding what does go wrong in the process and where
Measles chart
What are the tools when: Identifying possible root causes
What are the tools when: Structure possible root causes in a logical manner
Also called Ishikawa diagram
How is the "swim-lane" or Cross Functional Process Map useful?
Detailing which departments own which process
Identifying key handover points
What are the two types of VSM?
What is the symbol for a Decision/Inspection point in process mapping?
What is the symbol for Direction of Flow in process mapping?
Symbol for Start/End in process mapping?
Symbol for Connector in process mapping?
What is the delay symbol in process mapping?
What are the five laws of LEAN summarized?
2. Processes should be flexible in order to provide products and services faster
3. Focussing on key time traps will create a significantly faster process
4. Work in Progress is a key enemy. It slows down processes, costs money, and hides quality problems
5. Unnecessary product complexity should be avoided, but we still need flexible processes that can produce complex products and services that are customizable to individual customers.
What are the Seven Wastes?
Waiting: Any time that products are waiting
Transporting: Moving things when it is not necessary
Over-processing: Adding too much value which the customer does not require
Unnecessary inventory: Holding and creating excessive inventory cost money and creates lead time
Unnecessary Motion: Needless movements on an ergonomic level. NOT to be mistaken with Transporting! Can lead to health and safety issues.
Defects or Errors: Clearest waste of all, simply needs replacement.
What are the four new wastes?
Wasted energy: The awareness of how efficient we are with energy
Pollution: The producer will have to pay for polluting, raising importance
Wasted Space: Customers are becoming more aware of scarcity in space, wastage of it they will not pay for.
What are the three wastes in the Service Perspective?
Incorrect inventory: Wrong inventory or being out of stock can costs customers
Duplication: Services rely on correct data, double data costs more time therefore money
What is a Spaghetti Diagram?
What is a Cause and Effect Matrix?
What is a Fishbone Diagram?
What is an Affinity Diagram?
Basically, you have a lot of disorganized data
To make this organized you create clusters where you put the data in (named cluster)
What is a Measles Chart?
What does FMEA do exactly?
What are the two types of FMEA?
Process FMEA: Analyze the key outputs and potential failures of each step of a process, and consider the effect of process failure on product or service concerned.
What are the key components of a FMEA?
2. For each step list the different failure modes, and rate their Severity
3. For each failure mode, consider the potential causes that might cause the failure and rate their Occurrence
4. For each cause, consider the controls in place that are there to prevent it from happening. Rate the likelihood of Detection.
5. Calculate the Risk Priority Number (RPN) for each potential failure. This is done by: SEV X OCC X DET
6. Act on the results, start with the highest RPN!
