Remember how I said, with a few attempts you will become better with time.. so, now lets try a little different spin….

As you have capture a picture to visualize now find a short one or two paragraphs on something historical. Ideally a detailed battlefield scene which describes the two opponents. Read it, and then try to see it in your mind with your eyes closed. Have your child or partner do the same.

Next steps:
1st step is observe and discuss what the author covered in the scene.

2nd step is to discuss what the author left out.

3rd step, when you get real good at this is to identify the conflicts or confusion the author left the reader with…

People have a normal tendency to describe their symptoms based on their profession, experience, eduction geographic location, etc.,

When do your symptoms occur?
All of my symptoms occur within my Drive Mode Model, one of these four categories:
Idle, Accel, Cruise, Decel

Noticed these four categories are not only closed loop they correspond to simple computer logic..

Hint: All visual and non-visual symptoms can be linked to “When!”

A major problem we face today is effective communications by the individual and between all responsible parties. We must understand how symptoms impact the overall system. The appearance of oil floating across the gulf is only one small piece of the overall damage. The system and all it’s members suffer as damage accumulates.

Example: As four people enter a vehicle they (1) see moisture inside the windshield. While they drive to their destination one passenger (2) smells an odor coming from the rear of the vehicle. While driving only the female passenger (3) hears a noise at the same time the driver says (4) he feels a vibration in the steering wheel. Is each one of these symptoms a different root cause? Could they all be related? How many repairs are required? How many trips to the repair facility and how many repairs will be performed? In this example, there should only be one repair performed on this vehicle because a secondary door latch is not locking fully.

In this example a single root cause has generated a minimum of four (4) different symptoms. Once I searched a database for Noise Symptoms and got things like burp, chirp, whistle, moan, etc. Until the root cause (System/Sub-System/Component) is determined and completely understood, some of the symptoms will be labeled No Problem Found!? No problem found and Trouble not identified (TNI) accounts for billions of wasted dollars spent each year by companies who produce all kinds of products. Obviously the more complex the product the more TNI exist. Another costly related area is intermittent failures. Intermittent problems is a huge problem with customer service because the same problem come and goe, repeatedly. The most common response to and intermittent problem is we can’t fix something which is not broken. When I’ve been involved with these kind of issues, I say, lets review past related failures and bingo we find several different types of the same failure and numerous related symptoms. Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA)

Six Sigma Quality target is 3.14 defects per million operations. More than 3.14 defects per operation is not acceptable and less defects are not worth the additional effort, cost.

So how does one become more efficient? Big business writes off what they didn’t understand as NOISE within the data. Today, this is and unacceptable risk. Accountability for all Business Decisions Is Essential and will be rewarded and confirmed with long term success.

Company Feedback which includes symptoms is the first critical step of understanding your customer and product. The more efficient companies don’t have long wait times because they learn from there customer feedback and become a more effective operation. This is a good sign your producing a zero defect products.

Generating short term profits is relatively easy today… But the challenge is to sustain profits in a dynamic world which is much more challenging… Long term profits are sustained over time and they will generate greater rewards and the primary key to success is “Learning from your customers feedback!”

1. Identify the subject(s)
You can take a pair of shoes or sneaks and place them on a shelf. You must define the boarder of the area your are gaming.

2. Tell the players to, Take a mental snapshot in there mind of what they are looking at. Remember relationship to each other, color, shades, direction, etc..

3. Ask each player to turn around and close there eyes, don’t peek.

4. Start asking questions like what color? Which direction was the long shoe lace on the left shoe, which part of the sole was worn more?

5. Start keeping score and see which player get the most answers correct.

When I 1st developed this game the players only got 1-2 easy items correct and as they retried they were capable of identifying the slightest details. A New Way Of Thinking?

“A Sure Winner! – RKS!”

Keep it simple, keep it green, keep it white/lite…

Let’s take FIFA World Cup Spain and Holland for example..

The first tool allows you to select Spain or Dutch Flag

The second tools is one which you can select one of three colors:
Green or Yellow or Red….
============================================
WHAT DO I SELECT?
So you selected flag = SPAIN

The you select a color! Green, Yellow, Red

If you select Red…. The tool displays….
==========================================
RESULTS are simple!

Green= Good
Yellow = Not Good, Not Bad
Red = Bad

================================
Lets say your looking for all the bad (=Red) material, plays, stuff
looking for all the good (= Green)
Looking for all the questionable stuff (=yellow)

Life should be simple so why not, keep it simple…. for all?

As the middle son with two brothers, all three were born 33 months apart. Ron spent much of his time caring for his older brother Frank who was born with Polio while most of the families attention was on Frank and Richard the younger brother.

Ron felt lonely and spent most of his free time trying to fix everything which was broken because people would be so grateful for the free repairs. First, it was wind-up record players, vacuum cleaners mechanical then electric, motors, washers, dryers, typewriters. etc..

Forced to leave home he ventured into the military at the age of 17 and said farewell to his teachers and friends at Edison Technical and Industrial High School at the end of his tenth year. Ron obtained his GED while serving in the old Army Air Corp. as an Avionics Technician (Navigation, Stabilization and Communication) for duty in Germany was to support the Berlin Wall efforts.

He completed 16 weeks of basic training and additional 16 weeks of advanced infantry training. Residing in Germany for 37 months and traveled to 27 different countries and spoke a little German while working in Illisheim and living in Rothenburg, Ob der Tauber on the weekends.

During his travels he noticed people patterns changed in different countries. For example, in the USA when walking into a restaurant the woman would enter first and in Germany the Man would enter first just in case trouble reside inside. When walking down the street the USA the man would walk on the outside near the traffic to protect the lady from splash and in Germany the Man would walk next to the buildings just in case someone were to discard their garbage, a very old custom.

Roughly 60 years ago, Ron realized communication was a big problem so he set out to find better ways of communication. Possibly a global language?

TODAY, ALMOST 60 YEARS LATER….. He thinks he’s got it!

Over the next few months, using this website, Ron will explain his findings and how he, developed a simple Learning Computer System, using Probability and Fuzzy Logic to Diagnosis Automobile Symptoms which accurately suggest root cause solutions in over 23 countries around the world today. Ron says calculating the accurate solution is easy and the challenge we and corporations face is applying knowledge… not more information or data. Return on investment is favorable when the Organization can “Dynamically Apply and “Learn from it’s own Lessons Learned”
