Lean and Six Sigma Deployment Strategy
SixSigma.us’ Lean and Six Sigma Deployment Strategy (taken from “The First 90 Days”, by Stephen A. Zinkgraf):
D:
|
Define the Strategic Direction of the organization |
M: |
Set Measures for the strategic objectives of the organization |
A: |
On a continual basis collect data on the measures set and Analyze using Six Sigma tools and techniques |
I: |
Identify the opportunities for Improvement and convert them to Lean Six Sigma projects for improvement |
C: |
Set up a management Control action of continuous reviews on the improvements made on the Lean Six Sigma Projects |
SixSigma.us offers a cost effective solution for deployment of Lean and Six Sigma in an organization. The following strategy can be deployed in any industry irrespective of size. The Lean and Six Sigma concepts are designed in accordance with the basic characteristics of a business and not the size of a business.
We have drawn the Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma approach to deployment from the work of Harvard Professor, John P. Kotter and his book, “Leading Change”. Larry Bossidy of Allied Signal (one of the original deployments of Six Sigma) used this approach when first implementing Six Sigma with outstanding results.
Kotter’s Philosophical Deployment Architecture:
- Establish a Sense of Urgency
- Create a Guiding Coalition
- Create Vision and Strategy
- Communicate the Change Vision
- Empower Broad Based Change
- Generate Short Term Wins
- Consolidate Gains and Produce More Change
- Anchoring New Approaches in the Culture
In order for an initial Lean and Six Sigma implementation to be successful, 11 milestones must be addressed during initial stages of the Deployment:
- Establish a leadership team
- Identify Corporate Critical Y’s (metrics) and set goals
- Identify timeline for deployment
- Train Belts (Black, Green, Yellow, White)
- Implement a Project Tracking System
- Identify projects (those that are linked directly to Critical Y’s)
- Identify and Train Business Unit and Departmental Champions
- Prioritize Projects and assign to appropriate Belts
- Define and implement project review methods and frequency
- Resolve resource and leadership problems that impede project success
- Develop and Implement Reward and Recognition guidelines
Within the first 90 Days we must build the Foundation for the Implementation. Without a Foundation (from our experience), the deployment has little chance of long term sustainment.
What are the Steps to building the Lean and Six Sigma “Foundation”:
- Five Day Business Assessment
- Assess and Update core process Critical Y’s (Key Performance Indicators)
- Lean and Six Sigma Assessment (Do we have …?)
- Clear purpose for the team initiatives
- Clear program expectations
- Clear project charters
- Infrastructure to track CPI (Continues Process Improvement) Team Progress
- Centralized repository for Project Results (both Financial and for Project Communication)
- CPI Team reporting mechanism
- Reward and Recognition Plan
- Ongoing Training and Development Plan
- CPI Team Performance Measures
- Executive Strategy Workshop
- Finance and HR Workshop
- Champion Workshop (Mid and High Level Program Directors and Mentors)
Once the Foundation has been built then it is time to start training and deploying the Belts to tackle the projects.
Design and Delivery Schedule for Deployment
Week #1 – 5 Day business assessment
Week #3 – 3 Day Executive Strategy Workshop
Week #5 – 2 Day Finance and HR Workshop
Week #7 – 2 Day Champion Workshop
Week #8-#12 - White Belt Training
Week #13 – Black Belt Training (4 weeks, 1 week per month for 4 weeks)
Green Belt Training (First two weeks of Black Belt Training)
- Recommended Percentage of Black Belts in the organization = 3% to 6% of the population
- Recommended Percentage of Green Belts in the organization = 10% to 15% of the population
Week #32 – Master Black Belt Training either onsite or at one of SixSigma.us’ many open enrollment courses
