Often
organizations, which have implemented Six Sigma
and Lean, find that their organizations are still:
- fighting
the problems of the day, like they did before
their Lean Six Sigma implementation
- having
problems “finding the money” at
the enterprise level, which was reported as
project savings
- having
trouble finding and completing meaningful projects
that truly impact the overall business
- not
measuring the right things right at the enterprise
level
- having
problems meeting the company’s strategic
business objectives
- not
having process owners who not only request projects
but also drive for timely project completion
- not
building on lessons learned from other Lean
Six Sigma deployments
This
presentation describes a measurement and improvement
strategy that addresses all these issues and can
take organizations to their next level.

"The
one-hour program by Forrest Breyfogle, entitled
"Why Go Beyond Lean Six Sigma and the
Balanced Scorecard", was a breath of
fresh air. The introduction to the Integrated
Enterprise Excellence methodologies was
only the tip of the iceberg to the one day
workshop. Forrest was an excellent presenter
and he is welcome back to our section at
any time."

and Cash; i.e., E=MC2.
Organizations need to create an enterprise where
everyone’s activity is aligned and driven
toward effectively achieving MC2.
Measurements
drive activities; however, many measurements do
not drive the most effective activity. Described
is a statistically-based measurement methodology
that tracks an organization as an enterprise of
interconnecting processes of supplier-customer
relationships, which pulls for the creation of
Lean Six Sigma improvement projects that are in
direct alignment with business needs.
