Have you ever… attended a lean six sigma seminar or webinar with GREAT presentations? You leave motivated and inspired and ready to apply everything that you learned to help your company's lean initiative succeed. But because of a lack of professional mentoring, implementation of what you learned becomes impossible because of constraints and roadblocks placed in the way.
Why Most Lean Initiatives Fail to Meet Expectations
The first reason for a lean initiative failure is not enough planning. It's not an "add water and stir" initiative. You can't just decide one day to become lean and think it will happen overnight. You need to determine what constraints are impeding your ability to increase speed, improve quality, and eliminate non-value-added activities. And, finally you need to develop a plan for identifying and eliminating their root causes.
The second reason is lack of understanding and support for the company's lean initiative.
The third reason is poor preparation. Even with the best plan, successful implementation will be evasive if there is not a genuine leadership commitment and appropriate lean six sigma training, empowerment.
And fourth would be failure to establish goals and expectations, track daily/weekly progress, and carry out corrective actions if and when required. Determining motivational performance metrics and establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to track performance is paramount to achieving positive, sustainable lean initiative results.
And last but not least, successful implementation of lean six sigma initiatives require lean champions.
To be successful, lean six sigma champions must have
the lean knowledge, implementation skills, and professional mentoring to solve all of these problems?
* Too many challenges on his/her plate
* Cultural roadblocks and process constraints
*
Problematic computer system integrity
*
Process and quality problem finger pointing
*
Supplier rejects and/or untimely support
*
Excessive non-value-added costs
*
Evasive business process solutions
*
High work place stress
*
Customer returns and/or complaints
Bill Gaw's Lean Six Sigma Certification Program assures that
graduates gain the knowledge and implementation 'know how' required to solve these problems and more.
And, Bill's professional mentoring helps champions overcome cultural roadblocks and process constraints.
This program
can change your professional life
for the better and create/improve your company's competitive edge.
One of Bill Gaw supporters saying it better than we can:
“Bill's experience and the resources he provides are first rate and of great practical value for both the experienced manager wishing to push improvement in their business as well as people at the beginning of their careers who need to understand the basics of making businesses lean and effective.”

8-Lean Six Sigma Training Modules (via free downloads)
Strategic Planning & Tactical Execution
- Strategic planning is an effective lean leadership process that many companies employ to identify their critical success targets that set the course for future growth and profits. Lewis Carroll in “Alice in Wonderland” makes a good case for it: “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” said Alice. “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat. “I don’t much care where…,” said Alice. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
Value Stream Mapping
-Maps and flowcharts help make work visible. Increased visibility improves communication and understanding, and provides a common frame of reference for those involved with the business and work process.
Performance Measurement -Financial numbers may tell us who's winning the war, but it takes a motivational measurement system to win all the battles along the way. Remember, "without data you're just another opinion."
Sales & Operations PlanningModule- How to improve the integration of sales forecasts with the production master schedule to improve MRP gross to net requirements planning and shop floor and customer on-time deliveries. (New)
Kaizen Management Module-
If your organization can handle only one change initiative at a time, then let it be the implementation of a “continuous improvement” kaizen program. There just isn’t any other more important program in our pursuit of profits.
Supply Chain Management Module- Material handling and storage are two of business’s high cost, non-value added activities. The elimination of the stock room, as it is known today, should be a strategic objective of all manufacturers. It’s time to realize that there is much more to supply chain management than simply placing purchase orders with the lowest price bidder.
Lean Six Sigma Manufacturing
- If your manufacturing company needs to increase speed, improve quality while reducing non-value added costs this training module has the road map. Many of the lean six sigma process improvement principles and techniques presented are applicable to all industries.
Thinking-Outside-the-Box - Creative thinking skills are
required by everybody. Each and everyone needs to continuously
challenge and expand their ways of thinking to enhance personal and
business success.

Lean Six Sigma 'Knowledge' and 'know how'
During one of our certification programs, Larry Franciscus wrote a very good "white paper" about the Value Stream Mapping Training Modules. We published it in one of our MBBP Bulletins and below is an email Larry received from one of our MBBP Subscribers:
To: Larry Franciscus
Subject: VSM White Paper
It takes a real knack, Larry, to communicate with crisp and concise ideas. I believe it was Mark Twain who said, "I didn’t have time to write a short story so I wrote a long one instead."
You have done a great job conveying the essence of Value Stream Mapping in a short but thorough method. You have eliminated the waste found in several of the books I have read.
Would you be willing to share each of your white papers? I understand if you would rather not. You have something of real value and could charge for what you have created. I would love to see and learn from your other white papers.
Sincerely,
John R. Miller
Senior Business Analyst
South Burlington, VA
Don't you wish you could write a similar paper on all of the lean six sigma training modules in the certification program. As your coach and mentor, it's George's job to make sure you can.
Here's what Larry had to say about our Certification Program.
Bill,
Thank you so much for the kind words. I really enjoyed learning in this manner. It is not just the regurgitation of information. There had to be an understanding of the material to write an effective paper in 500 words. I will definitely take you up on your offer to help in the future. Enjoyed the experience and will recommend to others.
Thanks,
Larry Franciscus,
