Tour: Stevens Point Brewery
The Stevens Point Brewery is steeped in a history that has transcended the trials of the Civil War, the Great Depression and Prohibition. More than 150 years later, the Stevens Point Brewery continues to successfully brew quality beer, just as the brewery’s founders, Frank Wahle and George Ruder, did in 1857. This undeniable endurance is a testament of why the Stevens Point Brewery, in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, is the 5th oldest continuously operating brewery remaining in the United States. Today, the Stevens Point Brewery is proud to be Wisconsin-owned and independently operated.
We take great pride in our history. And, we continue to work hard, as our founders did, to continue to provide our customers today with quality award-winning beer.
Presentation: Introduction to Reliability Interactive Tutorial
Many of us are familiar with reliability from our own expectations as consumers and many of us are familiar with reliability as being part of the ASQ family of professional specializations, but what exactly is reliability engineering and how does it fit in with what organizations need to do in the product development life cycle? Join us for an introduction to reliability to see and begin to understand some of the common tasks and techniques used to design for, verify, and deliver reliable products to your customers.

Power Point Presentation of April ASQ Meeting
| April 2011 ASQ PPS from Riverview.pps |
Summary of February ASQ Meeting
St. Michael’s Hospital, Stevens Point
Joe Vanevenhoven (Black Belt, St. Michael’s) and Kyle Demars (Master Black Belt, St. Michael’s) provided a tour of the care and support areas within St. Michael’s Hospital and showed how they are using value stream management to drive improvement of patient satisfaction, patient quality and safety, culture, and operational efficiency. Modeling their approach after the book, The Toyota Way, Joe and Kyle demonstrated the impact that can be made by having the right metrics, engaging executives to go where the work is done (“go to Gemba”), and empowering all staff to make improvements.
In storyboard format, St. Michael’s has created areas in each department to visually display core metrics, value stream maps, and structured process improvement forms (PIPs). At any time, a process improvement form may be pulled by anyone to document a problem they are observing. The form walks the person through a structured problem solving process to get from problem to cause to solution. At standardized frequencies, executives, department managers, and core teams meet at the storyboards to review metrics, discuss improvement initiatives and PIPs, and share ideas all while focusing on improving the patient experience. Kyle and Joe provided many examples of the changes that have been made to improve patient flow and improve staff utilization including; EMTs performing the registration process in the emergency department, leveling the operating room schedule, and having the emergency room nurses draw blood.
Scott Bensen (Total Continuous Improvement Information) provided a mini-session explaining the concept and application of process capability indices (Cp and Cpk). Scott outlined from a graphical and statistical point of view, how Cp and Cpk are calculated and provided practical examples to help the audience understand how these indices can be used to determine if a process is “capable”.
All in all, it was an outstanding meeting, with high attendance and a lot of open discussion. Kyle and Joe did an excellent job of demonstrating how lean and six sigma concepts can be used to transform a health care organization and Scott was able to effectively demonstrate the practical application of process capability indices. Thank you to the presenters and to all of the people in attendance willing to share their ideas and experiences!
