PAPER AIRPLANE EXERCISE
description
Transcript of PAPER AIRPLANE EXERCISE
Teams quickly encounter the problem-solving process when they are challenged to construct an “airplane” whose primary criteria of success is distance traveled in the air
ObjectiveConstruct an “airplane” (to the standard)Fly the planeImprove the plane using the 6 step problem solving method. (A3)The aim is to build and fly a plane to meet the customers demand
EquipmentEach team member will be given 1 sheet of paper
TimingEach team member will make the standard plane (5 min.)Fly the plane and measure distance (average of 5 flights) (10 min.)Each team will problem solve using the A3 / Ishikawa diagram (20 min.)Apply countermeasures (from Modification kit) and test. (10 min.)
RulesPlanes must be constructed from 1 standard size sheet of paper. All planes will be launched from 1 designated area and measured by distance traveled in the air.Smooth level flight. NO WADDED UP PAPER BALLS!
#1 Fold in half lengthwise #2 Turn down top corners
#3 Fold point down to about ½” - ¾” from bottom.
#4 Again fold down upper corners.
#5 Now fold up the point.#6 fold in half so that point is on the outside facing forward
#7 Fold down Delta wing on both sides.
#8 Finished “Standard Airplane”

STEP 5A: Countermeasures (Plan and Implement Solutions)
STEP 6: Follow-up, Check & Standardize
STEP 1: Problem Description STEP 4B: R C I (Potential Solutions) from 4A
STEP 5: Countermeasures (Select Solutions) from 4B
STEP 4A: RCI (5 why) from step 4
STEP 2: Problem Definition
STEP 3: Locate Point of Cause

10 Min.
Which teams Airplane will meet or exceed the customers demand?
1. Where did you locate the point of cause?2. What were your possible solutions?3. Was everything in your team’s control?4. What was your problem definition?5. Did you need help from another team or outside
organization? 6. Did you ask another team for help? Why/Why not?7. When were your solutions implemented?8. What type of follow up a check procedure will you
implement?9. Did any individual feelings mirror your daily work
experiences and behavior?10. Were there any insights from this experience that will
influence your future behavior?
