Lean
Six Sigma Deployment Measurements Can Lead To Undesirable
Behavior.
Question:
In our Six Sigma deployment, managers are measured
by the number of employees trained and their validated
financial savings. Is this good?
Response:
With this strategy, people in
all functions seek out the least painful training
and the easiest projects that will provide them
Six Sigma project credit. Minimal, if any, attention
is given to targeting improvement efforts that
impact the primary business success constraints.
An alternative will be described below.

Making
Information Technology A Competitive
Advantage
Regrettably, many organizational
leaders view information technology
(IT) as a burdensome expense rather
than a resource that can provide
a competitive advantage. Seeking
a better way, businesses are looking
into deploying IT to its maximum
potential by making the system the
catalyst for instituting new improvement
initiatives. Some of the newer efforts
to make organizational improvements
are devoted to deploying the DMAIC
process on an enterprise-wide basis.
Four
Principles for Jump-starting Performance
Improvement - Introduction
Businesses large and small are using
Lean Six Sigma to improve their
organizations’ performance.
Too often, however, they are viewing
the methodology through myopic lenses.
Asked how they deploy Lean Six Sigma,
they describe initiatives that reduce
defects or listen better to the
voice of the customer. Asked how
the initiatives affect the corporate
bottom line, though, too few can
provide concrete data.
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.
