Lean Six Sigma Project Execution Guide: The Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) Process Improvement Project Roadmap

by Forrest W. Breyfogle III

Provided in this text is a consistent lean Six Sigma Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) roadmap methodology, which can be readily referenced when executing organizational improvement projects. This roadmap guidebook provides a vehicle which expedites the tool-application learning process and improves the efficiency/effectiveness of experienced-practitioner coaching sessions.   In addition to project selection, this workbook provides the following to expedite a successful process improvement project s A detailed step-by-step process for selecting and applying various Six Sigma/Lean tools and techniques to meet all the improvement process project deliverables. Application of High-level summary of what is expected in each phase of the DMAIC roadmap and what tools should be considered. Lean and Six Sigma Described in the DMAIC roadmap is a true integration of lean and Six Sigma tools so that the right tool is used at the correct time to improve the improvement project s process-output response. Check High-level check lists for each project phase are provided, which can be used by improvement practitioners (e.g., lean Six Sigma Black Belts, Green Belts), Champions, and/or executives to ensure that all major DMAIC phase requirements have been considered when executing an improvement project. A high-level description of many tools is provided, in which reference is given to sections of the associated texts, Integrated Enterprise Excellence Volume III and Integrated Enterprise Excellence Volume II , which can be read for more details. Each phase of the DMAIC roadmap in this book begins with a tab; hence, users of this text can quickly locate various aspects of the described lean Six Sigma improvement project roadmap when executing a project. Statistical program Described tool-application techniques are independent of statistical software; however, syntax for the execution of Minitab statistical software is included.
