Value: The Flip-Side of Waste
Any activity must meet three criteria to be
considered Value-Added
The Customer wants it (enough to pay for it)
It changes the form, fit, or function of the product,
process, or service
Its done right the first time

Reduce or eliminate Non-Value-Added portions of the process

Note: The focus is not on the value-
added steps or the peopleperforming them.
Instead, the focus is to removebarriers and better support the
people doing the work!

What is Six Sigma
performance?
Six Sigma is an optimized performance levelapproaching zero defects in any process -
whether it produces a product, a service, or a
transaction
It means 1st-time perfect quality
This requires having a common focus on (and
definition for) excellence throughout the
organization

Why Six Sigma?
20,000 lost postal mail itemsper hour
15 minutes of unsafe drinking
water per day
2 long/short landings per dayat a major airport
5,000 incorrect surgicaloperations per week
7 hours of lost electricity permonth
20,000 incorrect prescriptionsper month
7 lost postal mail items perhour
1 unsafe minute every seven
months
1 long/short landing everyfive years
1.7 incorrect operations perweek
1 hour without electricityevery 34 years
68 wrong prescriptions peryear

Theory of Constraints
Theory of Constraint (TOC) is..
Minimizing or Managing
bottlenecks

Constraints and Barriers
A constraint is anything in an organizationthat limits it from moving forward or
achieving its goal
The slowest vehicle in a convoy sets the pace
When the constraint (critical path) isnot progressing, the process is not
progressing!

WHERE ARE YOUR
RESOURCES FOCUSED?
IF 100 PEOPLE WORKED
TO IMPROVE 100 DIFFERENT
PROCESSES,
THE 1 PERSON WORKING ON THE
CONSTRAINT PROCESS WOULD SAVE
THE ORGANIZATION THOUSANDS MORE
THAN ALL THE OTHER 99 PEOPLE
COMBINED!
Why Care About Constraints?

To change Effective Utilization for the better
High effective utilization = Process constraint
We can reduce the time required to do the work
Make the process efficient
We can increase the time available to do the work

Steps to Constraint Management(From The Goal by Eli Goldratt)
Define the GOAL. Then
1. Identify - Whats the constraint?
2. Exploit - Utilize all resources to balance workloads
3. Subordinate - Focus non-constraints towards
supporting the constraint
4. Elevate - Apply Lean
5. Repeat Step 1 - The constraint has probably
moved

Putting it All Together:Roles and Respons ibi l i t ies
Executive Champion = SES / GO-level support. Senior top-cover.
Sponsor= Lowest-ranking person with decision-authority over the entire processbeing improved. Rank is a function of project scope. Some BB projects and nearly
all MBB projects may require multiple Sponsors due to projects crossing silos.
Ranking person usually defaults to role of Project Sponsor, although not always.
Deployment Di rector = Chief of the LSS Office. Responsible for effective use of
GB and BB resources. Should hold appropriate rank to stand toe-to-toe with seniorleaders to ensure they select appropriate projects and support belts and teams
appropriately
Master Black Belt = Full-time performance improvement specialist. Years of
experience and training in enterprise-level project execution.
Black Belt = Full or part-time process improvement professional. Usually 2 year
full-time position executing 3-6 month CPI projects.
Green Belt = Full or part-time process improvement person. Primary focus is
lean / waste-elimination projects within the scope of their own office.
Leadership is KEY to success!
