Kano's Four Student Model (FSM)

A framework for analyzing organizational standards, based on compliance and results, to understand performance and identify areas for improvement.

Compliance with the Standard

Adherence to established procedures or guidelines.

Quality of the Results

Outcomes achieved compared to the desired quality benchmarks.

Case A: Good Compliance and Good Results

Scenario where individuals follow procedures diligently and achieve expected outcomes.

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, evaluating effectiveness of standards and identifying improvement areas
  • Based on two dimensions: compliance with standards and quality of results

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 is essential 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. Investigate reasons for non-compliance and consider integrating those successful alternative practices

Case C: Good Compliance, Poor Results

  • Standards are followed but results are subpar
  • Existing standard may be ineffective; review and possible revision needed. Conduct root cause analysis to understand why the standard isn't yielding desired results and modify it accordingly

Case D: Poor Compliance, Poor Results

  • Lack of adherence to standards, unsatisfactory outcomes
  • Immediate action needed; address compliance issues and reassess standard's effectiveness to create a more suitable approach

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
