I’m proud to let you know that both Ole and I manage to take us through the Black Belt with success!!

A lot of thanks to Karen and Jörn (Jürg, Steve, Björn….and all the other names we put on you!  😉 )  for the time you invested in us to take us through the material.

I’m pleased to have had the oppertunity to meet you all and to get to know you. Would be delighted to hear from you in your future adventures, and perhaps we meet again!

Dear René,

Thank you for your course! Glad I did that well.

I also wanted to thank you for this valuable training. I learnt a lot and I liked the way the training was given (teamwork, individual exercises, English communication skills, not only theory,…).
It’s a pity I can’t assist to the BB-training, but I will definitely join in the next time.

Good luck with your future trainings/projects and hopefully we’ll meet soon!

Kind regards,

Bilal Makhloufi

Lean Six Sigma Design of Experiments Y = f(x)

Design of Experiments
§DOE was originally developed in 1930’s by Sir Ronald Fisher to improve agricultural methods
§Fisher used DOE to maximise the yield of agricultural crop (Y) by changing the key process inputs; fertilizers & seed type (x’s)
§ he DOE approach allowed Fisher to understand the main effects of the inputs, and the interactions between the inputs which impact the process output
§The objective is to logically organise changes to 2 or more input variables (x’s) and evaluate if any variable, or any combination of the variables, significantly affect the output (Y)
What is Design of Experiments?
§A DOE is a set of tests on the process output with at least 2 process inputs, each set at 2 or more levels
§The key principle behind the DOE technique is to create a perfectly balanced design which includes an equal combination of process settings

Lean Six Sigma and the European economy long term.

By on March 7, 2012 in Lean Six Sigma, Uncategorized

Measurements for Lean Six Sigma project dealing with FTE’s; i.e. labour productivity is measured as real output per hour worked. Multifactor productivity, a broader measure of efficiency, is measured as real output per unit of combined inputs (capital, labour, etc). In essence, this is the efficiency of all or your factors of production.

Progress in productivity constitutes a significant source of increased standard of living. In the long run, increases in real hourly earnings are tied to productivity gains. The European economy has been able to produce more goods and services over time, not by requiring a proportional increase of resources such as labour, but by making production more efficient. The overall performance of any company, operating in any industry, is comprised of at least seven key criteria:

  • effectiveness
  • efficiency
  • innovation
  • productivity
  • profitability
  • quality
  • quality of work life

The word is, lean transformation !

By on February 22, 2012 in Lean Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma @de, Uncategorized

Businesses in all industries and services, including healthcare and governments, are using lean principles as the way they think and do. Many organizations choose not to use the word lean, but to label what they do as their own system, such as the Toyota Production System or the Danaher Business System. Why? To drive home the point that lean is not a program or short term cost reduction program, but the way the company operates. The word transformation or lean transformation is often used to characterize a company moving from an old way of thinking to lean thinking. It requires a complete transformation on how a company conducts business. This takes a long-term perspective and perseverance. A client of PEEC doing just that, it’s the new word! lean transformation.

Lean for Production and Services A popular misconception is that lean is suited only for manufacturing. Not true. Lean applies in every business and every process. It is not a tactic or a cost reduction program, but a way of thinking and acting for an entire organization.

Black Belt training? Why is it different to previous improvement initiatives?

Black Belt training? Why is it different to previous improvement initiatives?

With in-company training one actually aligns process improvement to customer requirements and business objectives. It can be applied to service and business processes, not only for production processes.

With a Black Belt program in-house one establishes a standard language and problem solving methodology across different business functions.

The improvement goals are all bottom line focused and will provide the company  a significant return on investment, i.e.  improvement  of  On Time Delivery,  structural financial benefits through efficiency and cost savings, increased customer confidence.

Black Belt project manager must ensure team work, this includes the coaching and training of Green and Yellow Belts. A proper change management project should not take longer than 6 – 8 months. Black Belts are trained to make use of DMAIC.

An organisation can relatively easy grow improvement competences and culture on a massive scale through in-house training, the purpose of the qualification and coaching of Black Belts is to engage all of the people in this drive for continual process improvement.

Deploying one unified methodology, language and tool kit will support companies to promote integration and common ways of working with respect to performance improvement and to progressively reduce its  dependence on external consultants.
