- “Forrest‘s Integrated Enterprise Excellence approach to Lean Six Sigma and the entire business is different than most “MBA” approaches taught in B-schools in that IEE focuses on building a sustainable business as opposed to the all-too-often approach of B-schools in maximizing quarterly profits, often while subordinating future profits. His focus on applying Lean Six Sigma from the shop floor on up to the corner office is in keeping with a true enterprise-level approach to running a business.” MT

- “My company enrolled me for this two day session along with my four more colleagues and all I knew about six sigma was only the name which is used in quality improvement groups and nothing more.

Three Additional Lean Six Sigma Training Reviews
- “Breyfogle’s complete understanding of process improvement best practices are combined into a relevant and actionable program. This could prove very helpful to companies that have lived through TQM, TOC, and Lean Six Sigma and need a new path towards success.” SN
- Forrest training is really more than a regular lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt (MBB) training. Forrest’s training is not just teaching statistical tools, the training goes far beyond because it teaches the use of an Operational Excellence (OpEx) approach that combines with continuous improvement (CI) tools to create a truly CI system. Forrest also makes you think again and challenge current processes and tools in a way that you really think in a continuous improvement mindset. This training is like no other.
- My experience (in this list of Lean Six Sigma Training Review): I was frustrated and dissatisfied after completion of my very first black belt project (a requirement and part of my certification process). Even though my Black Belt project reported significant amount of bottom line hard benefits that were validated by finance. The money was not to be seen (apparently intangible). There was no evidence of how the results impacted or benefited the big picture in any way. In short the improvement was much localized to a specific dept.Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma projects are worked in silos. There is no link between project improvement and Organization strategies. The only metrics that Black belts and Continuous improvement Practitioners are interested is the project metric (primary, secondary and consequential). The only improvement they are concerned is project improvement. Question is how to tie this improvement in a way that the organization as a whole is benefited along with internal and external customers and suppliers. I knew that I was missing something.Search for the missing link: During my research, on the internet, I came across the term “IEE” and how it links the finance and operational metrics to strategies to improvement projects (pull system – Lean terminology). In the beginning I was very skeptical about this whole “IEE” improvement approach. I decided to do some more re-search, Then I started reading the available IEE and Lean Six Sigma articles on Smarter Solutions website.“Creating control charts – 30,000ft level part 1-4” was the first article I read and all of a sudden, everything started to make so much sense. I decided to Drill down more into the subject by reading IEE volume 1-4.The result: The concept of IEE (predictive metrics and analysis, value chain, E-DMAIC, satellite metric and 30,000ft metric) broadened my thinking of the very term “continuous improvement”. I think I am more confident now than before in understanding and implementing Improvement projects.Using IEE and IEE predictive metrics analysis, I am very confident now that I will be selecting the right black belt projects,(3R’s: doing the right project using the right tools at right time) which have significant impact on the business performance as a whole.Thanks Mr. Forrest.”
