Although eliminating waste and reducing variation are essential for
successful improvement initiatives, few books integrate Lean, Six
Sigma, and cultural issues into a single management and improvement
initiative. Filling this void, this book details a proven recipe
for applying Lean, Six Sigma, and the Theory of Constraints in a
manner that will maximize return on investment, cash flow, and net
profits. The "Success or Die" Ultimatum: Saving Companies with
Blended, Long-Term Improvement Formulas uses a compelling story
format to guide readers through a collection of stories that
illustrate best practices for finding and fixing common issues
found in today's organizations. It uses in-depth case studies to
illustrate a range of scenarios at a call center, pharmaceutical
company, automotive parts supplier, and metals distributor and
processor. Readers will learn simple techniques, such as
face-to-face discussions to gather data, as well as more complex
diagnostic techniques, such as Four-Field Mapping and process
mapping. Readers will better understand the complexities in newly
formed working relationships, as well as how to: Hire and work with
consultants Interact with management to get things done Engage
workers on the front line Handle those who are actively against
improvements Build and sustain a culture of improvement The book
covers simple, yet effective, statistics and explains how Minitab
(R) can be used to simplify and speed up data analysis. In
addition, it explains one way to use Statistical Process Control
(SPC) to anticipate problems from data and what the results mean.
The book includes coverage of project planning, strategy, Lean
manufacturing, command and control, finance, PDCA, SPC/root cause
analysis, OEE, allocating responsibilities and times to fix, Big
Picture mapping, and four-point planning.
