Gaining Traction - Implementation of Six Sigma or Lean Flow change initiative in an organization requires a strategy and planning. Significant return on investment can be realized from an orchestrated deployment over a grass-roots effort. If your organization is considering sending more than ten (10) people through Green or Black Belt training, it is recommended that you consider a customized On-Site Deployment to maximize your return on training investment.
Successful deployments begin with an understanding of what areas within the business are struggling to meet performance goals in the standard areas of cost, capacity and customer service. Determining the current performance levels and setting goals for improvement are accomplished through an On-Site Assessment coupled with a Value Stream Assessment . The On-Site Assessment provides insight to the current directions of the business and the business metrics employed. The Value Stream Assessment provides detailed metric data for the processes within the business for use in aligning resources with projects.
Project Selection - A critical factor in a successful deployment is the selection and chartering of the project. The primary objective of the Champion Deployment Workshop is a prioritized project list with the top priority projects chartered and ready to be worked. Once the projects are selected, project leaders are identified and readied for training.
Project Mentoring - Successful completion of projects is increased when the project leader has a technical resource to review the project for use of the methods and for progress towards the desired goal. Mentoring can be accomplished through various means but should be conducted for no less than 2 hours per project per month.
