If you are deploying Lean/Six Sigma for the first time within an organization, those first wave projects MUST generate results or your program may be in trouble.

If you have multiple projects to choose from, try selecting projects that are rate highly in the following categories:

  • Impact on strategy
  • Clear Sponsor who will support implementation
  • How poor is the process performing
  • Impact of the resources
  • Cost savings
  • Project Cost/Benefit Analysis (CBA)
  • Cost of Poor Quality
  • Chance of success
  • 1 to 6 month implementation
