New Methods to Achieve Production and Financial Gains

The American Management Association (AMA) describes a 21st century governance system and how a company benefited from its deployment. The 9-step framework of the described Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) business management system provides a guiding-light roadmap for navigating through and beyond these challenging times. IEE provides a long-lasting system for structurally integrating healthy policy creation and deployment with a systematic blending of scorecards, strategic planning, business improvement, and control so that the enterprise as a whole benefits. IEE system goes beyond many traditional and recent management techniques such as the balanced scorecard.

Achieving Deming’s System of Profound Knowledge through the Integrated Enterprise Excellence System

Total Quality Management (TQM), Lean, and Lean Six Sigma are problem-solving methodology examples. Each of these problem solving approaches has strengths and weaknesses; however, these techniques are not an organizational governance system. Some regard governance as a collection of separate processes, or as a component of broader management or leadership processes. A more inclusive governance definition is the need for consistent cohesive management policies, processes and decision-rights throughout the enterprise. Ideally this governance system should incorporate what W. Edwards Deming referred to as System of Profound knowledge. An Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) roadmap system for this accomplishment is described in a 4 book-volume series.

Beyond Troubleshooting -- Black Belt Training Should Blend Analytics with Creativity

It is important that there needs to be new understanding of exactly what role Lean Six Sigma Black Belts (BBs) should play in today’s economy. Gone are the days when businesses deployed BBs as troubleshooters. Today, BBs, together with other Six Sigma practitioners, are indispensable partners in organizationwide initiatives that are grounded strategically and implemented on a highly structured basis to meet critical organizational goals. Included is the fostering of ongoing innovation, the use of business scorecards in ways that enhance rather than inhibit organizational improvement and the establishment of priorities that allow everyone in the organization to contribute to profit improvement. In this environment, everything that matters is measured, the only measurements made are those that matter, and every metric has an owner. The organization is practicing the Three Rs of business: Everyone is doing the right thing right at the right time.

Cpk: What is its "Capability"?

Cpk is one of many capability metrics that are available. When capability metrics are used, organizations typically provide a Cp and a Cpk. In this paper we will discuss the mechanics of these two capability metrics, along with the pros and cons. In summary, the Cpk can provide insight on performance to a requirement if the process data used in the calculation comes from a normal distribution. If the process data is non-normal or it is the result of a combination of processes (a mixture of processes) then it provides an underestimation of the true non-conformance capability.

Why Go Beyond Lean Six Sigma and the Balanced Scorecard?

This presentation describes a measurement and improvement strategy that addresses all these issues and can take organizations to their next level. To compete in today’s marketplace, employees must be aligned and working on what is valued by their customers. Organizations need to have a system that replaces firefighting activities with fire prevention. In today’s economy, business's Existence (and Excellence) depends on More Customers and Cash; i.e., E=MC2. Organizations need to create an enterprise where everyone’s activity is aligned and driven toward effectively achieving MC2. Measurements drive activities; however, many measurements do not drive the most effective activity. Described is a statistically-based measurement methodology that tracks an organization as an enterprise of interconnecting processes of supplier-customer relationships, which pulls for the creation of Lean Six Sigma improvement projects that are in direct alignment with business needs.

Stop Fighting Fires

Special Cause vs. Common Cause. Many businesses react to these two types of variability in the same way. Reacting to common cause variability as though it were special cause can lead to much resource-draining firefighting. There is a better way.
