This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La vague de l’amélioration continue, avec le Lean management en chef de file, déferle en France et en Europe depuis une dizaine d’années. Malheureusement, les résultats promis ne sont pas au rendez vous mais pire, ces démarches se sont progressivement transformées en de vastes programmes de réduction des coûts et des effectifs, s’attirant ainsi les foudres des salariés, des syndicats et des analystes. Ce phénomène est principalement dû à la non remise en cause d’un certain nombre de croyances et paradigmes comptables et managériaux hérités de notre passé productiviste taylorien, qui nous a conduits à ne voir dans ces nouvelles approches que la dernière boîte à outils à la mode. A partir de ce constat et fort de plus de vingt-cinq ans d’expertise, d’enseignement et de recherche en performance industrielle, José Gramdi nous dévoile dans cet ouvrage le résultat de ses travaux et réflexions. Partant d’une approche systémique de l’entreprise, il nous propose une nouvelle voie pour modéliser, mesurer et élever la performance globale de l’entreprise. Ce modèle, baptisé «la Performance interactionnelle Globale», permet d’entraîner l’ensemble de l’entreprise dans un mouvement vertueux et durable d’amélioration continue, en combinant de façon harmonieuse les formidables apports du Lean management, de la Théorie des Contraintes et du Six Sigma. Ceci autour d’un mot d’ordre aussi simple que mobilisateur : «Plus, mieux, plus vite, tous ensemble et dans le respect de notre écosystème !» « Le modèle de la Performance Interactionnelle Globale va augmenter significativement l’efficacité des démarches Lean Six Sigma (...). La gestion de la performance industrielle au XXIe siècle devra impérativement appréhender la performance opérationnelle du système dans son ensemble. Le modèle de la Performance Interactionnelle Globale deviendra donc incontournable... » Jean-François LITT Président académie Lean Six Sigma Fondateur et animateur du Club Lean Six Sigma France

Download or read book Operational Excellence with Lean Six Sigma written by Bart A. Lameijer and published by Van Haren. This book was released on 2022-01-06 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lean Six Sigma is the global standard for organizing the design, data-based improvement and control of business processes. Well-designed and controlled processes are key in achieving and sustaining operational excellence. They ensure the quality of service and care, the reliability and safety of work that is done, and a timely processing with short waiting times. High quality processes will at the same time improve the operation’s flexibility. Thereby allowing one to adjust to changes in demand and other circumstances. An organizational capability to harness data-based process improvement, finally, facilitates organizational learning and is foundational for the fruitful implementation of ever increasing digitization and automation opportunities. Lean Six Sigma offers a complete model for shaping modern continuous improvement programs in organizations. The methodology is built on principles and methods for fact-based process improvement that have proven themselves over the last decades, and will continue to do so in the decades to come. Having emerged in manufacturing, the approach continuously evolved and gained tremendous momentum in the services and healthcare industries. This book offers a thorough and pragmatic account of Lean Six Sigma project- and programme implementation with a special focus on applications in services and healthcare organizations.

Download or read book Theory of Constraints Lean and Six Sigma Improvement Methodology written by Bob Sproull and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many leaders and managers have led improvement initiatives in a variety of different industry sectors. Most believe that when they begin these efforts, they already have the tools they need in their improvement "backpack." Using these tools, they make substantial improvements to processes in a wide array of industry segments. As time passes, however, most realize that there is a missing link in their arsenal of tools for improvement. The author of this book faced this same predicament and he discovered what the missing link was in his improvement tool kit: Theory of Constraints (TOC). Once he learned the details of TOC, his ability to make major improvements jettisoned upward to levels he had not seen before. TOC is the common denominator in all the case studies presented in this book. This book opens with a chapter on what Theory of Constraints is and why it works so well in improvement efforts. The second and third chapters cover the important points related to Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma as well as key points related to variability. Chapter 4 demonstrates how to effectively combine these three components to achieve maximum improvement and the corresponding enhancement to your company’s profitability. The remainder of this book is composed of true case studies from different industry segments, using this integrated improvement methodology. Essentially, this book lays the foundation for what most practitioners are just beginning to understand—this integrated improvement methodology is superior to the three components used in isolation from each other. This book presents a step-by-step method of how to combine the Theory of Constraints, Lean, and Six Sigma, and then demonstrates its effectiveness in a very diverse array of industries.

Download or read book Look Forward Beyond Lean and Six Sigma written by Robert Dirgo and published by J. Ross Publishing. This book was released on 2005-12-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the Look Forward approach to continuous improvement (CI). Look Forward is a management approach to CI that fosters an environment that infuses CI into the very fabric of the organisation. As a result, improvement is not an initiative or a project but rather a naturally occurring event that is anticipated, expected and prevalent. Look Forward is not a substitute for Six Sigma, Lean or Theory of Constraints (TOC), but rather is a necessary complement to each of these in order to assure self-perpetuating improvement that is ingrained in the corporate culture. Any business serious about improvement is going to consider these methodologies in the overall scope of their operations and the unique benefits they bring to the table. This book shows that for unbeatable sustained improvement they need to be intertwined with the Look Forward methodology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Why confine a company to a handful of elitist black belts when we can convert all the people to black belts at a fraction of the cost and with far greater effectiveness." -- Author Keki R. Bhote Six Sigma started as a revolutionary quality tool at Motorola, gained fame as a powerful driver of cost savings at GE, and has spawned an entire industry of publications and consultants, many peddling a watered-down version of the original Motorola Six Sigma process. Now, Keki Bhote, one of the founders of Six Sigma, taps into the rigors and rewards of this breakthrough process--but moves it beyond mere quality to focus on total business excellence in 12 key areas. From customer loyalty to leadership to supply chain management, "The Ultimate Six Sigma" provides the techniques and metrics needed to measure success, and supplies self-assessment audits to help readers ensure that they're getting it right.

This book was released on 2010-10-25 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

It details their decision-making rational, thus allowing the reader to extrapolate and implement the same analyses and conclusions in their own settings. An interactive CD accompanies the book and contains all of the numerous graphs, charts, tables, and data analyses provided in the text. It provides PowerPoint training slides and easily accessible data sets that correspond to the figures in the book, as well as a full Glossary and reference guide to commonly used Lean and Six Sigma terms.
