All rights reserved. 8 Deployment Principles That Always Work “The Recipe” Lean Six Sigma 1. Executive engagement – Rule of 3 5’s: 5 times a week, in the presence of 5 people, spend 5 minutes talking about Lean Six Sigma deployment 2. A strong and respected Deployment Champion should report to the Top Leader 3. Organization elements own resources & are accountable for project results 4. Deploy critical mass of key resources full-time (Black Belts/ Champions) 5. Resources should be selected from “future leaders” of the organization 6. Establish a rigorous process for Project Identification and Selection within the organization 7. Actively reduce Projects in Process to reduce project cycle times. 8. Track results rigorously: Lean Six Sigma results should “pay as you go” and be confirmed by objective parties 9. Black Belts must have team leadership skills 10.Design the Lean Six Sigma deployment as a journey Copyright 2005, AIT Group Inc.

Lean Six Sigma Control Measure • How often does this happen? • What trends have we observed relative to the target? NEM Baseline (IMR) • Is the process capable? • Do we want to reduce variation? • Do we want to shift the mean? Process Capability • What changes have been made to the process? • What possible variables relate to the change ? Process Mapping • What does the process look like? • What does the process look like from the product’s view? • Is the measurement process capable? • Is the test a destructive test? Measurement System Analysis Analyze • What is the subgrouping strategy? Improve • What does the DOE process plan look like? •What responses are we interested in (Average, Range)? • What variables do we want to optimize? Why? • How will we address Org. issues? • How will we address Behavioral issues? Preliminary Data Analysis Advanced NEM (XbarR) • What variables are contributing to mean shifts? • What variables are contributing to variation? Components Of Variation / ANOVA • What is causing failure? • What is the impact of failure? • How do we mitigate the risk of failure? Classification Of Control Issues • What variables do we need to control? • What control methods will be used to ensure gains are sustained? Control Methods •Who is responsible for implementing the control? •Who is accountable for the process results? • Where in the process do we need to scope efforts? • What is the target value? • What are the specs? DOE Planning Template • What observations did we have during the experiment? • What roles need to be established to run the DOE? DOE Execution • What variables are critical to the process? • How should the critical variables be set? SIPOC • How much waste is in this process? • What is our value added percentage?
