The book our Senior Partner, Liviu Ibanescu, co-authored with Forrest Breyfogle, SigmaXL and Lean Six Sigma: A Guide to Improve Business Performance Metrics, will be available soon:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0BXYGJPLF/
This book:
* Shows how to execute SigmaXL functions in a detailed Lean Six Sigma Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) roadmap to enhance the Y response for process improvement projects
* Shows the use of a free software app for response-metric tracking that provides insight not possible with traditional metric reporting techniques
* Utilizes over 50 datasets to illustrate Y-response tracking from a process-output perspective and Y=f(X) analyses
* Discusses over 200 figures that illustrate software inputs and outputs
* Provides a clickable Lean Six Sigma Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) process-improvement roadmap that integrates the application of Lean and Six Sigma tools so that the right tool is used at the right time when undertaking process improvement efforts
* Shows a methodology for Lean Six Sigma improvement project selection so that the organization’s big-picture benefits from the project′s completion
* Provides a method to statistically show and quantify at the 30,000-foot-level the benefits of process improvement efforts
* Offers a business process improvement system that goes beyond traditional Lean Six Sigma and the Balanced Scorecard
* Explains a method for executing and enhancing digital transformation efforts in an organization
This book provides direction on how organizations can resolve issues that commonly occur with:
- Traditional control charts and process capability reporting techniques
- AQL testing and reporting
- Lean Six Sigma deployments
The book provides direction on how organizations can benefit from the wise application of:
- Statistical and non-statistical techniques.
- Design of Experiments (DOE) in both manufacturing and transactional processes.
This book provides a comprehensive 9-step system that CEOs, presidents, general managers, executives, managers, leaders, practitioners, and others can use to resolve elephant-in-the-room management issues such as:
- Business goals not being met
- Scorecards leading to harmful, if not destructive, behaviors
- Persistent day-to-day firefighting problems
- Business strategies that are very generic and difficult to translate into organizational work environments
- Lean events and other improvement projects can consume many resources but often do not offer a quantifiable benefit to the business as a whole
- Lean Six Sigma process improvement deployments that have improvement projects, which are either not completed in a timely fashion or which make substantial financial claims that are questionable
