Organizations benefit when their lean Six Sigma process improvement training and certification for Green Belts, Black Belts, and Master Black Belts follow a consistent, detailed define-measure-analyze-improve-control (DMAIC) process improvement roadmap.
The Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) approach for training lean Six Sigma belts references the content of a 5-book IEE series. Students can utilize the provided texts long after their training. With IEE lean Six Sigma training, attendees receive much more than a deck of PowerPoint slides from their instruction.
An Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) approach for the deployment of lean Six Sigma gives emphasis to working on improvement efforts that benefit the enterprise as a whole. In the 9-step IEE system, which is described in IEE Volume 2, an Enterprise Improvement Plan (EIP) provides direction for improvement efforts so important Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are enhanced and the big-picture benefits.
These described enhancements to courses in lean Six Sigma address the lack of sustainability that often occurs with a traditional lean Six Sigma deployment.

While a great deal of process improvement work has finally begun to take hold within healthcare around patient safety and hospital operational efficiencies, what about the other non-clinical aspects of the overall healthcare system which can consume physician resources and adversely impact hospital finances? Healthcare insurance processes can have a major impact on both patient care as well as operational efficiencies. This paper describes how one healthcare insurance company has begun to use Six Sigma to not only make itself more efficient and effective internally, but is now also directing its energies toward lowering medical costs while improving patient service and outcomes
