Five Big Wastes in Lean Six Sigma Deployment
| 1. |
Waste of Over-Training |
|
Our research has identified five areas where Lean Six Sigma can end up costing as much or more than it delivers: Lean Six Sigma training programs typically follow a “teach it all in case you need it" approach resulting in low retention and high re-learning costs. |
| |
|
| 2. |
Waste of Over-Analysis |
| |
Treating all problems as equally complex leading to over-application of statistical tools results in longer than necessary project cycle times and disengagement of process owners and doers. |
| |
|
| 3. |
Waste of Idle Resources |
| |
Lean Six Sigma has made it harder, not easier for rank and file employees to participate in continuous improvement due to its complex language and lengthy training requirements. |
| |
|
| 4. |
Waste of Project Waiting Time |
| |
Waiting for project resources, data and decisions can make the most expensive resource in Lean Six Sigma – Black Belts – the least productive on a return on investment basis. |
| |
|
| 5. |
Waste of Complexity & Over-Investment |
| |
Supporting processes and tools (such as project tracking software, communications programs, Champion training and the like) often overwhelm attention on the primary objective: Improve processes and sustain better performance. |

The "Lean Path" to Lean Six Sigma Deployment
| 1. |
Just-In-Time Project Launch and Team Training |
|
Here's how organizations can get the benefits of Lean Six Sigma without the waste: Rapid Lean Six Sigma training programs and project launch tools are designed for scalable, buy-as-you-need deployment. Get measurable results in 90 to 120 days! |
| |
|
| 2. |
Multiple Toolsets, Tailored Team Approach |
| |
All improvement projects are not equal. The Rapid Lean Six Sigma project selection process fits the right resources and tools to the improvement needed, eliminating waste in over- or under-scoped projects. |
| |
|
| 3. |
Step-Ladder Curriculum for Belt Development |
| |
Avoid the risks and expense of upfront Black Belt staffing and training. With Rapid Lean Six Sigma, the best candidates for Black Belt status earn their way to full-time business improvement positions. |
| |
|
| 4. |
Sprint Timeframes for Project Completion |
| |
Rapid Lean Six Sigma project toolkits guide teams to complete projects in 60 to 90 day timeframes, providing the opportunity for more cycles of results, greater learning and broader participation. |
| |
|
| 5. |
Engaged Leadership from the Start |
| |
Achieving true commitment and sustainable results requires hands-on engagement by leaders. Rapid Lean Six Sigma gets leaders to do the things that make a real difference in driving faster improvement: Make decisions, recognize people and stay the course. |
