Mission Viejo, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/20/2015 -- Ease, Inc., a leading provider of process performance solutions, discussed how to create a Gemba Walk checklist on the company blog. Meilynda Herbst, Ease's Digital Marketing Manager, noted, "The Japanese have a word: Gemba, and it means "the real place." In lean manufacturing terms, the word is part of the name of an effective quality tool called a Gemba Walk. Gemba Walks are an inexpensive and efficient way to see, firsthand, what processes work and which don't work, and it also provides a prime opportunity to coach employees on critical-thinking skills. When you perform a Gemba Walk you can see below the surface with your own eyes and understand what is really happening inside your organization."

Understanding and following standard work processes is a key factor in the success of your layered process audit (LPA) system. To focus the Gemba Walk businesses may want to select a particular theme such as safety, customer service, productivity, cost (trends), or innovation and learning (problem-solving capability). Once the theme is determined, a list of questions can be prepared to pose to employees during the Gemba Walk.

Ease Discusses Reasons to Invest in Manufacturing Software to Streamline Processes

Mission Viejo, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/19/2015 -- Ease, Inc., a leading provider of process performance solutions, discussed the three reasons to invest in manufacturing software to streamline processes. Meilynda Herbst, Ease's Digital Marketing Manager, noted an effective solution to simplifying LPA (Layered Process Audits) process on the company blog. "Some quality managers would compare the often-mandatory requirement of completing layered process audits (LPAs) to calculating taxes—both are cumbersome and are easily forgotten once the requirement is met. But what if there was an effective solution to simplifying your LPA process and at the same time adding value to your organization?" asked Herbst.

LPAs are a sub-type of process audits; and they differ from generic process audits by requiring multiple people, including management, to conduct an ongoing chain of simple verifications to ensure that a defined process is followed correctly. LPAs provide an active view into operational process conformance and corrective actions as required by many end manufacturers (such as automakers) to maintain supplier quality. When implemented correctly, LPAs can help shape your organization's culture into one that embraces continuous improvement.

Eric Stoop Ease CEO Talks about Layered Process Audits in Automation Media Publication

Mission Viejo, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/12/2015 -- Ease, Inc. was recently featured in AutomationMedia.com. The article authored by industrial journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, was titled, "Layered Process Audits: A Guide for Automation Improvement." According to Cutler, the notion of continuous process improvement is often hidden, unclear or downright obscured. While the goals of lean manufacturing and reducing waste may seem obvious, the means to achieve them are not. The low hanging fruit of reduced labor costs via automation is often seen as a quick fix with a rapid return on investment.

According to Eric Stoop, CEO of Ease, Inc., "An LPA program involves all levels of operations and management in process audits, which observe and validate how products are made, rather than just inspecting the finished product. Supervisors conduct process audits in their own area, while higher-level managers conduct the same audits less frequently and over a broader range of areas."

Managers must be able to randomize audits and audit schedules, ensuring complete engagement throughout the organization. Ease Beacon, for example, ensures non-conformances are assigned to someone for corrective action and views mitigation activities in real-time.

Mission Viejo, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/10/2015 -- Ease, Inc. was recently featured in Automation and Controls Today. The article authored by industrial journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, titled, "Layered Process Audits: Ensuring Established Processes are Followed by Everyone Every Time," examines the notion of continuous process improvement often hidden, unclear or downright obscured. While the goals of lean manufacturing and reducing waste may seem obvious, the means to achieve them are not. The low hanging fruit of reduced labor costs via automation is often seen as a quick fix with a rapid return on investment.

Managers must be able to randomize audits and audit schedules, ensuring complete engagement throughout the organization. Ease Beacon, for example, ensures non-conformances are assigned to someone for corrective action and views mitigation activities in real-time.

According to Eric Stoop, CEO of Ease, Inc., "An LPA program involves all levels of operations and management in process audits, which observe and validate how products are made, rather than just inspecting the finished product. Supervisors conduct process audits in their own area, while higher-level managers conduct the same audits less frequently and over a broader range of areas."

Mission Viejo, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/24/2015 -- Ease, Inc. was recently featured in AutomationMedia.com. The article authored by industrial journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, titled, "Layered Process Audits: A Guide for Automation Improvement," examined the notion of continuous process improvement often hidden, unclear, or downright obscured. While the goals of lean manufacturing and reducing waste may seem obvious, the means to achieve them are not. The low hanging fruit of reduced labor costs via automation is often seen as a quick fix with a rapid return on investment.

Managers must be able to randomize audits and audit schedules, ensuring complete engagement throughout the organization. Ease Beacon, for example, ensures non-conformances are assigned to someone for corrective action and views mitigation activities in real-time.

According to Eric Stoop, CEO of Ease, Inc., "An LPA program involves all levels of operations and management in process audits, which observe and validate how products are made, rather than just inspecting the finished product. Supervisors conduct process audits in their own area, while higher-level managers conduct the same audits less frequently and over a broader range of areas."
