Abstract: [This abstract is based on the author's abstract.] Process Variation Reduction (PVR) is a technology meant to capitalize on the correlation between productivity and quality. It uses financial drivers to motivate application areas for statistical thinking, and it uses statistical tools for quantifying three types of variation: common cause variation, structural variation and assignable cause variation. These same technologies are used to identify opportunities for improvement and to assess the impact of process improvement efforts. For PVR to be effective, organizational behavior, attitude, mindset, and data sharing practice must be altered before lasting quality and productivity improvements can occur. Once these obstacles are overcome, PVR can be applied with substantial value to the bottom line.
