Study Notes
Kano's Four Student Model (FSM)
- A diagnostic framework for assessing organizational process compliance and performance
- Analogy to students' attendance and exam results
- Evaluates effectiveness of standards and identifies improvement areas
Understanding the Four Student Model
- Based on two dimensions:
- Compliance with the Standard: adherence to procedures/guidelines
- Quality of the Results: achievement of desired quality benchmarks
- Creates a 2x2 matrix with four cases:
Case A: Good Compliance, Good Results
- Individuals follow standard diligently, outcomes are as expected
- Standard is effective; continuous monitoring crucial to maintain performance
Case B: Poor Compliance, Good Results
- Satisfactory results despite non-adherence to standard
- Current standard may need reevaluation; alternative methods are yielding positive outcomes
Case C: Good Compliance, Poor Results
- Standards are followed but results are subpar
- Existing standard may be ineffective; review and possible revision needed
Case D: Poor Compliance, Poor Results
- Lack of adherence to standards, unsatisfactory outcomes
- Immediate action needed to address both compliance issues and standard adequacy
Application of FSM in Organizational Processes
- Particularly useful during the "Check" phase of the SDCA (Standardize-Do-Check-Act) cycle
- Evaluate compliance and results to identify applicable case (A, B, C, or D) and take appropriate actions
- Case A: Maintain standard, explore further improvement
- Case B: Investigate non-compliance, integrate alternative practices
- Case C: Conduct root cause analysis, modify standard
- Case D: Address compliance barriers, reassess standard
Visual Representation of the Four Student Model (Matrix)
- Good Results / Poor Results
- Good Compliance / Poor Compliance
- This forms the matrix with cases A, B, C, and D
