Solutions invites you to utilize our online
resources to fulfill your next generation
Six Sigma and Lean methodology needs.
In
business, Jim Collins describes the importance
of the hedgehog concept and the three circles.
In down times it is even more important to assess
business from the three circles point of
What you can be the best in the world
at (and, equally important, what you cannot
be the best in the world at).
What
drives your economic engine.
What
you are deeply passionate about.
If
your business has a good intersection of the three
circles then the business needs to determine what
it should do to “go for it;” however,
this effort needs to be done smartly. This can
be done by wisely, blending innovation with analytics.
Question:
How are Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) impacted
by the Integrated Enterprise Excellence system
methodology? Consider a customer satisfaction
KPI and you are measuring process outputs such
as deviation from shipping date demanded by the
customer, how is the impact determined for customer
satisfaction?
Response:
Wikipedia defines KPI as being financial and non-financial
metrics that are to help an organization with
defining and measuring progress toward organizational
goals. KPIs, as stated in Wikipedia, are typically
tied to an organization’s strategy; e.g.,
through techniques such as the Balanced Scorecard.

Non-normal
Data Needs Alternate Control Chart
Approach
Some practitioners mistakenly believe
that it is not necessary to transform
data before creating an individuals
control chart when the underlying
process distribution response is
not normal. An individuals control
chart, however, is not robust to
non-normally distributed data. Therefore,
it is important to use an alternate
control charting approach.
With
further elaboration on the shortcomings of traditional
systems and the details of an IEE implementation,
each volume builds upon one another so organizations
develop a true appreciation and understanding
of IEE benefits and its implementation.
