The SixSig Roundup


Posted by: meikah | 30 July 2008 | 10:06 pm

sixIt’s time again to do the roundup and learn from similar blogs.

Check out the blogs I’m featuring below.

Mark Graban of LeanBlog shares that the Joint Commission, a non-profit hospital accreditation organization, is investigating the use of Lean and Six Sigma. The reason for doing so is that the Commission wants to improve its internal operations. I say, way to go!

Mike Wroblewski of Got Boondoggle is talking about My CI, my Continuous Improvement, to involve the employees and not only the managers in the continuous improvement effort. This is really swell! Often, an improvement initiative fails because people have not bought the idea because they see little value or involvement in it. Learn more: Top 12 FAQ about My CI.

Ron Pereira of Lean Six Sigma Academy is re-learning an old process, which is fathering a baby girl ;) . Congrats, Ron! But he has an interesting post about batching, a process that may not be lean but can be equally efficient as well. I joined the discussion and well you can read my thoughts over there.

Holly Hawkins of iSixSigma Blogosphere talks about Six Sigma for the office. It’s a good post, a down-to-earth, more real application that many non-Six Sigma practitioners can relate. She asks, “Is there variation in the office?” Definitely. What are these? Read on.

Let me end this roundup with lines from Jeffrey K. Liker’s The Toyota Way:

We discovered the top management in the companies with vital programs had a process orientation, while the unsuccessful companies had results-oriented managers. The results-oriented managers immediately wanted to measure the bottom-line results of the continuous improvement program. The process-oriented managers were more patient, believing that an investment in the people and process would lead to the results they desired.
