GRPI

GRPI stands for four critical and interrelated aspects of teamwork: goals, roles, processes, and interpersonal relationships, and it is a tool used to assess them. See the tool GRPI.

Green Belt

An employee of an organization who has been trained on the improvement methodology of Six Sigma and will lead a process improvement or quality improvement team as *part* of their full time job. Their degree of knowledge and skills associated with Six Sigma is less than that of a Black belt or Mater Black Belt. Extensive product knowledge in their company is a must in their task of process improvement.
The green belt employee plays an important role in executing the Six Sigma process at an organization level.

GOAL

1 A goal is a targeted value by a design team while building a quality process/product

2 A goal can also be defined as a customer voice

The GOAL must be SMART: See S.M.A.R.T. in this dictionary

Globalization

Social, economical, environmetal and technological perspectives to the many cultures that exist in the world.

Global Commerce Initiative - GCI

The Global Commerce Initiative (GCI) is a voluntary platform created in October 1999 to improve the performance of the international supply chain for consumer goods through the collaborative development and endorsement of recommended standards and key business processes.

Gating

Gating is the limitation of opportunities for deviation from the proven steps in the manufacturing process. The primary objective is to minimize human error.

Gantt Chart

A Gantt chart is a powerful and preferred visual reporting device used for conveying a project's schedule. A typical Gantt chart graphically displays the work breakdown, total duration needed to complete tasks, as well as %completion. The Gantt chart itself will not display level of effort, and is not an effective planning tool on its own. Today, Gantt Charts may be integrated with other spreadsheet-type reporting devices that convey additional information related to project planning. Furthermore, Gantt Charts are often enhanced with functionality that includes the identification of relationships between tasks, and the ability to dynamically change task attributes.

Gage Repeatability

Gage Repeatability is the variation in measurements obtained when one operator uses the same gage for measuring the identical characteristics of the same parts.

Gage Reproducibility

Gage Reproducibility is the variation in the average of measurements made by different operators using the same gage when measuring identical characteristics of the same parts.

Gage R&R

Gage R&R, which stands for gage repeatability and reproducibility, is a statistical tool that measures the amount of variation in the measurement system arising from the measurement device and the people taking the measurement. See Gage R&R tools.

There's an excellent post on the discussion forum by Stephen Curtis describing Gage R&R:

"Gage R&R is intended to be a study to measure the measurement error in measurement systems."

Gage Accuracy

Gage Accuracy is the difference between the observed average of measurements and the true average.
