Book Description
You've been trained and tested and you've been successful. Now, where will you take it from here? This book is intended for the Green Belt or anybody who has attended Six Sigma training and has been coached through a complete project, and who now wants to or needs to step out on their own and manage improvement projects without a dedicated coach. For a Green Belt, it is probable that the first project was coached by another Six Sigma practitioner, either within the organization or consulting for them, and that the coach’s performance may have been evaluated based on the success of the Green Belt’s project. Now that the first project is done, the coach has likely moved on to the next new Green Belt candidate. So, what happens to yesterday’s Green Belt? Detailed in these pages is a user-friendly guide to completing an improvement project quickly and thoroughly. The author has identified the nine most critical elements of a project and presented the tools needed to deliver those nine. A person who has been exposed to Six Sigma training will not have a difficult time understanding and applying the tools and techniques presented. Even a non-Green Belt will find this material to be usable with only a little coaching. Dotted throughout the book are descriptions of team meetings, five in all, that will serve the purpose of delivering the nine critical elements in a 90-day time frame. The book’s final chapter is intended as a guide to process management and process improvement in or outside the context of an improvement project. Once the concepts and topics become familiar to the reader, Chapter 10 can be read independently and repeatedly to help the organization manage its processes and improve them every day.

Book Description
Six Sigma Green Belts need support in applying new skills after training, yet there is little research about how this works and even less advice about what support looks like in the field. This book is that missing link in providing coaching tips to support Green Belt projects. There is an abundant amount of information on the technical, “hard skills” aspects of Six Sigma, while considerably less about the interpersonal side of DMAIC. Research has shown that desirable Green Belt project outcomes are greatly influenced by collaboration issues between the coach and the Green Belt team member, and therefore this text focuses on tips for effective collaboration practices. Besides being a comprehensive discussion about how to coach Green Belts on their first project, it may also be used to coach subsequent Green Belt projects. A case study of Louisville Metro demonstrates this book’s ideas in the field and includes an example of one of its actual Six Sigma Green Belt projects.

Book Description
There are many occasions when a project leader will preside over a team meeting that ends up falling short of the desired outcomes. Entering a room full of people who are expecting you to guide them to results can be a source of tremendous pressure, even when you feel fully prepared as a leader. This book offers a deeper understanding of how a workshop needs to be managed, how a team can be guided, and how workshop tools should be deployed to achieve a team's objectives. Notes: Facilitation for Quality offers several updates to traditional quality tools to better suit non-manufacturing environments. If you work in an service, office, non-profit, or professional setting, you will find these tools helpful (and you will use them to achieve real results). This book also offers five new tools invented or refined by the authors for those who practice or promote quality, innovation, and effective workshop management to add to their toolbox.

Book Description
Organizations are continuously trying to improve by reducing cost, increasing customer satisfaction, and creating an environment of empowered employees who continuously strive for excellence in each process and product. In much the same way, governments are continuously required to do “more with less,” enhance budget and organizational performance, and identify innovative ways to increase their impact. There are challenges to applying the Lean-Six Sigma (LSS) tools in the public sector. Examples of these challenges include hierarchical environments, a lack of common goals, and the complexity of working in the public sector. The information included as part of this book provides over 30 spotlights highlighting project examples, lessons learned, and tips and tricks for using LSS in the public sector. These spotlights are based on interviews facilitated with a robust sampling of senior operations strategy practitioners. The LSS methodology focuses on eliminating waste (lean) and then reducing variation (Six Sigma) in a process or product that contains no waste. The information covered in this book will allow someone to have an immediate impact in any public sector organization. It describes some of the most powerful continuous process improvement tools that can be used, with limited training required. This is further enhanced by showing direct correlations to the LSS tools and the challenges that will be faced. Because the public sector spans such a diverse range of organizational charters (such as transportation, education, and defense), this book does not focus solely on either manufacturing or services. Rather, it provides a balanced approach to utilizing LSS in all environments.

Book Description
Besides the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Mindset, Skill Set and Tool set (Reference book) (ISBN: 9789401809733) and the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Mindset, Skill Set and Tool set (exercise book) (ISBN: 9789401809825), you are advised to obtain the corresponding publication Lean Six Sigma Green Belt courseware. The Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training is often followed by project leaders, department managers, process owners, design engineers, process engineers and quality engineers. After this training, participants look at processes in a different way. They can identify redundant activities and assess process performance more objectively. We cover all five levels of the CIMM framework. After this training, participants master the Lean techniques, with which processes can be organized more efficiently, as well as the Six Sigma techniques with which the variation in processes can be reduced. This leads to shorter lead times and fewer errors and rejections. The recommendation is that the candidates have implemented or being part of an improvement project.
