IEE Lean Six Sigma Graduate
Workshop
OVERVIEW
This “sharpen the saw” workshop provides
Black Belts and others with techniques that can
help their organization increase benefits by going
beyond Lean Six Sigma and the Balanced Scorecards.
This workshop describes how organizations can
transition from a push for project creation system
to an enterprise metric driven system that pulls
for the most important projects at the right time;
e.g., projects that address the current constraint
of the system. Attendees walk through the Integrated
Enterprise Excellence (IEE) project execution
roadmap, which truly integrates Six Sigma and
Lean tools. Attendees learn how to use IEE, transition
an organizational firefighting culture to a data-driven
enterprise. This course illustrates how satellite-level
and 30,000-foot-level metrics can be used to take
control charts to a new level of applicability
and how these techniques can be used to improve
the effectiveness of their business scorecards/dashboard
metrics.
MASTER
THE TOOLS
The methodologies in this workshop are aligned
with the described techniques in Implementing
Six Sigma, 2nd edition, which won the Crosby medal.
Included is the latest version of the roadmap
described in Implementing Six Sigma, 2nd edition
with all its drill downs. The traditional DMAIC
(define-measure-analyze-improve-control) roadmap
is taken to the next level through a true integration
of Six Sigma and Lean methodologies. The course
also provides advanced tools that help the student
resolve complex and atypical problems. These tools
help attendees improve their project performance
and their ability to impact the enterprise system
as a whole.

ONLY ONE COURSE CURRICULUM
With the blending of Lean and Six Sigma
along with other improvement tools, a holistic
approach to improvement is used in the course.
These skills provide the Black Belt with the ability
to succeed in any business area. Why focus only
on manufacturing, transactional, or other subset
of the tools, when every organization has aspects
of each type. Manufacturing organizations have
opportunities for improvement in HR, sales, and
procurement, which are transactional work, while
transactional organizations produce papers and
reports and manage inventories, which are analogous
to manufacturing processes. Every Black Belt in
the IEE system is provided with the skills to
be successful in all improvement facets.
TOOLBOX
REWARDS
This workshop teaches the tools along
with the thought process that goes along with
selecting the best tools to use and wisely applying
the tools. Through the detailed provided roadmaps,
this course material and real-life workshop discussions
provide a thought process for both integrating
and using Six Sigma and Lean tools wisely in both
transactional and manufacturing environments.
At the end of the course, attendees understand,
comprehend, and perform the following:
- Communicative
tools in gaining executive management buy in,
and in presenting the benefits of utilizing
Lean and Six Sigma concepts in an enterprise-level
business system, not just a program;
- Effective
integration of Lean Six Sigma with Theory of
Constraints (TOC) and other enterprise analyses;
- Selection
of the right statistical tools in driving effective
utilization of metrics and correct activities;
- Ability
to recognize and use advanced improvement tools
when beneficial.
