Book Description
A Lean Six Sigma deployment Master Black Belt, Black Belt, or Green Belt can benefit immensely from a step-by-step Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (P-DMAIC) project-execution-roadmap, where Lean and Six Sigma tools are truly integrated for effective problem solving. The P-DMAIC roadmap needs to truly integrate both statistical and non-statistical tools, going beyond traditional Lean Six Sigma techniques. In addition, the P-DMAIC project management roadmap needs to have a 30,000-foot-level process control system that assesses process stability/predictability so that special-cause variability is truly separated from common-cause variability. For predictable processes, a system process capability statement is needed that is expressed in easy-to-understand terms; e.g., the process has been predictable for the last 38 weeks and unless something changes we expect to have a future non-conformance rate of approximately 2.3%. The 30,000-foot-level project/operation metric improvement needs are to lead the practitioner through the DMAIC project execution roadmap to the most appropriate tools for timely-positive-project success. For example, a detailed P-DMAIC roadmap needs to guide both the novice and expert to appropriate Lean and other tools for lead time and WIP 30,000-foot-level metric improvement needs. Kaizen events and other Lean activities need to have improve-phase DMAIC roadmap whole-enterprise-beneficial prescription. A P-DMAIC roadmap needs to orchestrate Lean activities with statistical analytical and non-statistical tools such as design of experiments (DOE) and plan-do-check-act (PDCA) for process analysis and improvement; i.e., a quality control management and operational system for long-lasting organizational benefits. This volume describes IEE benefits and its measurement techniques providing a detailed step-by-step Project Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (P-DMAIC) roadmap, which has a true integration of Six Sigma and Lean tools. The IEE system is a set of management techniques that embeds best practices derived from the strengths of past systems - applying structured metrics and a no nonsense road-map to initiate process improvement and achieve predictable and sustainable bottom-line benefits.

Going Beyond "Implementing Six Sigma" July 7, 2008
Integrated Enterprise Excellence Volume III (IEEV3)is one volume of a three volume series - but as a standalone text, it is essentially a highly evolved sequel to the award-winning Implementing Six Sigma (ISS) books which were first published nearly a decade ago, in 1999. Although the second edition of ISS (2003) introduced a substantial amount of new reference material to the original book, it was still largely a handbook for implementation of conventional Lean/Six Sigma systems at the operational level. IEEV3 introduces new topics, new text, and new graphics to provide a significant step beyond both earlier ISS books in scope, structure and content.
Although both earlier books generally address the wise application of improvement systems and analytical tools to resolving business problems, the scope of IEEV3 has been broadened to acknowledge and more clearly define two distinct yet interdependent levels of study and improvement: the operational level and the enterprise level.
IEEV3 takes the position that to focus on specific operational process improvements without consideration of effects throughout the enterprise can result in suboptimization of results if not counterproductive unintended consequences. To be effective, operational level improvement projects must derive from the study of enterprise level "top down" requirements that consider the needs of the entire enterprise.
At the outset, IEEV3 reviews the limitations of traditional improvement systems and methods and describes how, using the principles of IEE, established project improvement tools - like DMAIC and TOC- can be combined with innovative analytical methods for enterprise level goal setting and measurement to avoid problems and enhance performance.
The main body of the book walks the reader through a detailed DMAIC project level execution (P-DMAIC) roadmap using the enhanced measurement and scorecard techniques of IEE. It also includes extensive discussions on essential project management techniques: building team effectiveness, encouraging creativity, and how to document and present resulting improvements.
The Appendix includes additional concepts that are used in the enterprise process or project execution roadmap steps, including drill downs, check sheets, and reference tables.
In summary, Volume III of the new series is an expanded sequel to Forrest's previous award winning book - Implementing Six Sigma . It focuses on meeting the demanding business challenges of the 21st Century and avoiding the unintended consequences of earlier implementations. It provides additional analytical tools and a new, expanded and improved practical roadmap for successful implementation of Lean Six Sigma and the DMAIC process at the operational level, orchestrated to align with business needs and support the attainment of meaningful enterprise level goals.
Knowledge leader June 25, 2008
If anyone wants to understand how process management works on an enterprise level, this is the book to get. If anyone wants to know the future look of Six Sigma, this is the book to get. If anyone want to understand Lean principles and how they should work, this is the book to get. Forrest Breyfogle has been one of the most proflilic writers in the world of Six Sigma and process improvement. Even people who are afraid of math and statistics will understand the value of the tools and techniques that he writes about. His crisp style and many examples help the reader to understand the fundamentals and the outcomes of using these approaches to business excellence.
Every Six Sigma practitioner should have this book.
Forrest Breyfogle "s IEE Vol. III June 24, 2008
Integrated Enterprise Excellence Vol. III is one of Forrest's best books that must be read by anyone who is seriously thinking to implement Lean Six Sigma, and it is also an excellent reference book for those who jobs entail the start and sustaining continuous improvement initiatives. This books presents and describes in detail a road map of DMAIC process that, if it is followed and the tools presented used, will lead to success.
The "How To" Manual for Executing Continuous Improvement June 19, 2008
Forrest packs a wealth of information into this edition. It can serve as guide to both project selection and execution. It helps you identify and use the tools that are most appropriate for the specific opportunity. Both traditional Lean and Six Sigma tools are covered. This volume is quite strong on DOE's and other advanced tools for analysis. Would highly recommend as a solid reference for anyone leading continuous improvement efforts in their organizations. Would also make a first rate text book!
