The Six Sigma team at a custom cabinetry manufacturer has just undertaken a new project. The team has identified an opportunity for improvement in its custom staircase design process. The team has developed a new process, but wants to use a pilot test before full-scale implementation.
Currently, the finishers spend a lot of time reaching, bending, and replenishing materials. A new process has been designed to reduce waste, making the whole process more efficient. The work space of the finishers has been redesigned to ensure tools and materials are within reach. A toolbox was added in the arm of the finishers' chairs. A kanban system has been implemented to alert floor supervisors when materials are low so that they can be restocked before the finishers need them. Workers with varying degrees of expertise and experience have been selected to participate in the pilot.
Members of the Six Sigma team are on site to watch, listen, and record details of what happens during the pilot testing. Carlos, one of the participants, can't find his screw drivers. Tracy, a Six Sigma team member, tells him to look in the tool holder, located in the armrest of his chair. Tracy records the incident and sticks around in case Carlos has any other trouble. Seeing that another participant needs help, Tracy moves on to find out what the problem is. This time, the participant just wants to tell Tracy what a good job she thinks the team has done designing the new process. However, she also has a recommendation about the toolbox located in the arm of the chair. Tracy takes detailed notes of participants' feedback, but she refrains from adding commentary of her own on the design of the new process.
What should Tracy have done to improve the way in which the pilot test was conducted?
A. Tracy should have shared her thoughts on the new process and the toolbox
B. Tracy should have allowed Carlos to find the tool on his own, and taken notes of what he did and said
C. Tracy should have taken notes

Francis is a team leader who is struggling to keep her meeting focused and on time.
A crucial meeting is underway, and participants are discussing an important product trial that the company is undertaking. The meeting begins on time, but the team leader, Francis, unexpectedly finds that the cable to connect her laptop to the projector is missing. So, instead of displaying the agenda, Francis has to read it aloud to the team. No one has seen the items prior to the meeting, and it takes some time for the team to assimilate the information on the list.
When discussion begins, team members find it difficult to keep their place in the overall agenda that Francis read out. They keep returning to previous topics or anticipating future ones. Francis's original agenda provided for 10 minutes to discuss the pros and cons of each suggested action. But each action takes much longer to adequately discuss than Francis had hoped, and when the team concludes the discussion, Francis is surprised to find that the hour allocated to the meeting is nearly over. She has no option but to postpone a final decision until the next meeting. She summarizes the progress made in the past hour, itemizes all the action items and assignments for next week's meeting, and adjourns the meeting without a final decision.
What should Francis have done differently to manage her meeting more effectively? Identify the strategies that she did
not

B. Observed the start time and end time
C. Allowed sufficient time
D. Been prepared
E. Used the agenda to keep the discussion on track
