Lean Six Sigma Project Selection 
Successful implementation of a Lean Six Sigma Program is significantly dependent upon
effective allocation of resources and focus on the most impactful activities. Project Selection
can Make or break an improvement program.

This course guides management through a process to assure these objectives are
accomplished. Generating high impact projects consists of performing a Project Selection
Process (“PSP”) to identify the company’s areas of concern; those areas where significant
business problems or opportunities exist. The Opportunity Analysis is performed through two
primary approaches: 1) by identifying any and all opportunities perceived by the management
team and 2) by identify specific problems which are preventing the accomplishment of
specific goals and objectives of the organization.

The methodology of the PSP will create a fertile and highly structured list of projects
linked to strategy and projected benefits (euros) that are then organized by area and
responsibility. Assisting the PSP methodology is a process for defining projects, assuring
they are clearly written with all of the essential information to achieve meaningful results. The
PSP is a complete methodology from project ideation to project definition, selection and
ongoing management through the business improvement roadmap.

    The Lean SixSigma Curriculum Lean Six Sigma Project Selection  Successful implementation of a Lean Six Sigma Program is significantly dependent upon effective allocation of resources and focus on the most impactful activities. Project Selection can Make or break an improvement program. This course guides management through a process to assure these objectives are accomplished. Generating high impact projects consists of performing a Project Selection Process (“PSP”) to identify the company’s areas of concern; those areas where significant business problems or opportunities exist. The Opportunity Analysis is performed through two primary approaches: 1) by identifying any and all opportunities perceived by the management team and 2) by identify specific problems which are preventing the accomplishment of specific goals and objectives of the organization. The methodology of the PSP will create a fertile and highly structured list of projects linked to strategy and projected benefits (euros) that are then organized by area and responsibility. Assisting the PSP methodology is a process for defining projects, assuring they are clearly written with all of the essential information to achieve meaningful results. The PSP is a complete methodology from project ideation to project definition, selection and ongoing management through the business improvement roadmap.
