Download the latest Lean Six Sigma technical article and learn practical as it relates to the tracking of proving process stability and predictability for non-normal response data. SUMMARY: Your business' existence and excellence (E) depend on more customers and cash (MC2). Learn how the IEE system focuses on E = MC2 for enterprise management and project selection, including the tracking of 30,000-foot-level metrics that are not normally distributed with negative response data. Within IEE, operational high level metrics at the enterprise level pull (used as a lean term) for the creation of projects. These projects can then follow a refined define-measure-analyze-improve-control (DMAIC) roadmap7 that includes lean tools for process improvement or a define-measure-analyze-design-verify (DMADV) roadmap for product or process design needs.
