An enhanced lean Six Sigma DMAIC process (i.e., Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) roadmap is available through the Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) business management system for the deployment of lean Six Sigma.
Lean Six Sigma is a well accepted business improvement methodology, but when you read about companies that have introduced Lean Six Sigma (LSS), the results are not always consistent.
The IEE DMAIC roadmap for improvement project execution provides consistency. The IEE roadmap for project execution is:
In this roadmap, the DMAIC measure phase has been drilled down to provide more specific activities often associated with the measure-phase portion of the roadmap.
Executing details for implementing this DMAIC roadmap and aligning process enhancement efforts to overall business needs is described in the IEE 5-book series
Enhanced Lean Six Sigma DMAIC Process Roadmap for Addressing Traditional Deployment Issues
There are as many examples of success as there are of failure of lean Six Sigma. Many studies on the impact of lean Six Sigma show three key characteristics that are correlated with success: leadership support from the top levels of the company, high-potential employees provided LSS training, and the LSS methodology being used. From the outside, nearly all Lean Six Sigma programs and methods appear the same; they use DMAIC and they may provide a certification.
All LSS methodologies are not the same, not by a long shot. The article whitepaper link below discusses how an IEE Lean Six Sigma roadmap and methodology provide students the highest probability of success in solving their project in a short period of time.
