Use Lean Six Sigma to transform your business.
Lean Six Sigma is a powerful method for improving both the
efficiency and quality of projects and operations. In this new
book, the team that bought you Lean Six Sigma For Dummies
shows you how to take Lean Six Sigma to the next level and manage
continual change in your organization. You’ll learn to design a
roadmap for transformation that’s tailored to your business
objectives; develop and implement processes that eliminate waste
and variation across the company; synchronize your supply chain;
and successfully deploy Lean Six Sigma over time.
Lean Six Sigma Business Transformation For Dummies shows
you how to:
* Define your transformation objectives and create a bespoke
’Transformation Charter’ for your organization.
* Assess your company’s readiness for transformation.
* Establish a ’Transformation Governance System’ to help you
manage the transformation programme effectively.
* Bring your people with you! Plan and achieve the cultural
change needed to make the transformation process successful.
* Join up the dots between planning and effective execution with
Strategy Deployment.
* Deploy a ’Continuous Improvement’ toolkit to achieve everyday
operational excellence.
* Sustain the transformation programme and widen the scope across
the organization (including deploying to the supply chain).
* Adopt a ’Capability Maturity Approach’ to drive business
improvement – recognizing that change is a continuous
transformational journey, just as pioneers like Toyota have
done.
* Use a range of Lean Six Sigma Tools – using the right
tools, at the right time (and in the right order!) enables
continuous improvement by eliminating waste and process
variation.
