The Lean Six Sigma Transformation Roadmap for Healthcare provides:
• Four basic organizational enablers that will help determine if the organization and its leadership is ready to commit to the Lean Sigma transformation process or simply implement Lean Sigma tools
• A detailed, step-by-step four stage (i.e., the Roadmap) approach to transforming an organization
• Access to over 20 Excel worksheets for immediate application and use
These three main topics are inter-dependent and can easily be integrated with current business programs to be “the” solution for your successful transformation. The examples, worksheets, checklists, etc. provide invaluable insights on how to accelerate current transformation efforts as well as lessen issues or resistance that threaten any transformation.
The main parts or chapters have been arranged as follows:
Overview of Lean and Six Sigma - A brief introduction of Lean and Six Sigma provides an introduction of what Lean and Six Sigma is in terms of philosophy and tools. This will help determine if the organization has the right mindset for which to launch a Lean Sigma transformation. Various continuous improvement and problem solving methodologies will be reviewed.
Roadmap for a Lean Six Sigma Transformation - Provides the basic requirements to help determine if an organization is ready for a Lean transformation or not. A four stage Roadmap will detail a Lean transformation course of activities as well as a course of action if a transformation is not to occur (i.e., apply Lean tools only). Over 20 Excel Dropbox file links will be provided for immediate customization and application.
Roadmap and Gemba Walk Assessment - An assessment will be provided to determine if the organization is ready for a transformation. Scoring Guidelines will help determine the next steps based upon the scores. An Excel Dropbox file link will be provided for immediate customization and application for this Assessment.
