IN-, DURING, AFTER- process improvements, productivity can be measured, look for the metric of efficiency with which resources such as labour or capital are employed in the production process. There are two widely used productivity measures; labour productivity and multifactor productivity. Lean Six Sigma programmes will support on this.

What is Lean IT?
Lean IT is the extension of lean production and lean office principles to the development and management of info tech (IT) products and services. Its central concern, applied in the context of IT, is the elimination of waste, where waste is work that adds no value to a product or service.
Although lean principles are generally well established and have broad applicability, their extension from manufacturing to IT is only just emerging.Indeed, Lean IT poses significant challenges for practitioners while raising the promise of no less significant benefits. And whereas Lean IT initiatives can be limited in scope and deliver results quickly, implementing Lean IT is a continuing and long-term process that may take years before lean principles become intrinsic to an company’s culture.

Translating Customer Needs into Key Process Measures
Listening to the Voice of the Customer.
Do we really know the answer to these questions?
- How does the customer view my process?
- When it starts for them?
- When it is finished?
- What is the customer looking for when measuring the performance of my process ?
- How well does my process meet the customer’s expectation of what constitutes value ‘in their eyes’?
We must first understand who the Customer actually is. We should then define how to listen to the Customer when he is expressing his opinions about the quality of our products or services. There may already be an established process within your business to extract this valuable information on an ongoing basis (Market Research), however, it may also be the case that the business does not capture such information in a coherent and usable format. This is often the case with internal customers. Therefore, specific techniques and deeper analysis is required to understand what the customers requirements for the process output actually are.
When the analysis is done; the scope and nature of your activity changes

Shift from analysis and decision making to action, but the implementation is still a time for learning and improvement
- Increase in task complexity
- And a decrease in your control over the tasks
Greater numbers of people:
- All those directly involved in the solution
- All those indirectly involved in its impact
Review of team make-up may be useful and you will definitely need to re-plan (see Project Management). Resources (time, money, equipment, commitment) even more critical
All of this is about transferring responsibility from the improvement team to the process team (the people who run the process). This transfer must be explicitly clear.
- Ensure that the organisation knows what is happening, when and how
- Be clear whether it is a Big Bang, in Phases or ‘drip feeds’
- Dealing with key people issues
- Managing ambiguity
- Managing personal exposure
- Dealing with the ‘survivors’
- If you are doing a phased roll-out, must manage parallel operations
- You must ensure that the customer will not feel the impact of your internal transitions
- Building on wins, minimising losses and learning from “incomplete successes”
The basic tools that we use as Black Belt project managers are;
- Project Plan
- Process Map
- RACI matrix
- Skills Matrix
- Dash Board (1 single sheet mgt report)

Die Lösungen zu einem neuen Standard entwickeln mit Lean Six Sigma
Wenn die Lösungsprinzipien feststehen, müssen sie noch ausgearbeitet werden der Beschreibung des Prozesses
- Verbindlichkeit = Standard
- Einarbeitung zukünftiger Mitarbeiter
- Auditierbarkeit
Wer hat im neuen Standard welche Aufgaben und Verantwortungen?
Alle Betroffenen müssen informiert oder auch geschult werden
- Kommunikationsplan (wer, wann, wie)
- Umsetzungsplan (wer, wann, was)
Alle Verfahren und Vorschriften im Umfeld (siehe MEASURE Phase) müssen ggf. aktualisiert werden
An dieser Stelle würde auch die Spezifikation einer IT Lösung (Einführung/Änderung) einsetzen
Für den neuen Standard sind dieselben Fragen relevant, die auch in der MEASURE Phase die Grundlage gebildet haben:
- Reihenfolge,
- Dauer,
- Inhalt und
- Ergebnis
der einzelnen Aktivitäten, sowie des Anfangs und Endes des Prozesses
Folgende weitere Fragen sind relevant:
- Wie wird festgestellt, ob der Prozess seine Zwecke und Ziele dauerhaft erfüllt?
- Wie wird die weitere, kontinuierliche Verbesserung geregelt?
Bei der Entwicklung des neuen Standards muss das Team, das ihn praktizieren wird, maßgeblich eingebunden sein.
