Lean Six Sigma Deployment Robin Gates Asq Quality Progress Article Aug ...Robin Gates
The document provides guidance on successfully deploying Lean Six Sigma. It emphasizes the importance of:
1) Carefully planning the deployment by answering difficult questions about goals, leadership, and organizational fit before starting. In particular, identifying specific metrics and accountable stakeholders is critical.
2) Understanding internal customer requirements through tools like a "critical to" tree to ensure the deployment meets their needs.
3) Choosing an appropriate deployment model based on organizational factors and carefully mapping out the course of action.
4) Maintaining focus on high priority business goals to select relevant projects and keep the deployment meaningful over the long run. Proper planning and preparation are keys to starting the Lean Six Sigma journey on the right foot
The document discusses the Camel Model, which proposes focusing critical planning, decision making, and resource allocation earlier in projects to improve chances of success. It identifies six critical success factors: 1) strong business leadership, 2) well-defined business architecture, 3) solid program/project management, 4) comprehensive change management, 5) clear governance, and 6) trusting relationships. The document advocates establishing communities of excellence around these factors to institutionalize best practices and training at Cisco for more effective project execution.

Common Mistakes
Project Failure Stats
• Thinking the key to Six Sigma is Statistics, Statistics,
Statistics - NO! IT IS A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM !!!
• 71% of projects fail each year
• Overemphasis on Cost Reduction
• They take 84% more time than planned
• Failure to address improvement as part of the job
• They cost 56% more money than planned
• They achieve 93% of what they set out to • Ignoring team dynamics as a cause of project failures
deliver (falling to 67% on projects that are • Overreliance on the Black Belt, Six Sigma equals projects
delayed or over budget) • Not understanding common cause vs. special cause
• 0.5% of project managers admit to working on variation
failed projects • Failure to apply the concept of the customer internally
• Recognizing management’s involvement not just
commitment
Why should Six Sigma be any different? • Ignoring the management of change

– Alternate between “doing okay” and “in – Below average months are inevitable

– Creates internal comparisons that may not be

• When “in trouble” take action – Other variations on this approach include:
• On-again, off-again approach is the complete • Best/worst result (there will always be one!)
antithesis of continual improvement.
• Best/worst result in X months
• Goals are useful as a means to improvement,
but when they become the end, to the degree of
disrupting improvement, they are a problem!

– Isolate and address the special cause(s)

– Don’t over-fix
• If common causes dominant

– Make a permanent change to the

system
– Don’t tamper after at each data point
It is important to know, at any point in time,
which type of variation is dominant.
