A ‘Turbo-charged’ Lean Six
Sigma Program
TPS-Lean Six Sigma is like a
‘turbo-charged’ Lean Six Sigma program.
All of the proven, sound
methodologies of traditional
Lean
Six Sigma are charged with
highly
motivated
team members.
The result is a powerful
people driven Lean Six Sigma program called TPS-Lean Six
Sigma that leads to a High Performance Culture and allows
employees to realize their full potential and contribute
creatively while the organization benefits from increased
profitability, market share, and
customer satisfaction.
TPS-Lean Six Sigma is the
perfect marriage of Lean Six Sigma and the Total Performance
Scorecard. With TPS-Lean Six Sigma, your business, your
customer, and your employee’s
personal goals are all realized in concert with each
other. By integrating
human capital into the Lean Six Sigma equation,
organizations have the opportunity for exponential, quantum
levels of improvement and success.
Your customers will be
happy, shareholders will be happy, management will be happy,
employees will be happy,
processes will be optimized,
waste will be eliminated, and
profits will soar. It is quite possible that now, with
TPS-Lean Six Sigma, we actually have reached nirvana.
TPS-Lean Six Sigma is a
revolutionary, holistic concept. It actively has human
capital embedded in Lean Six Sigma in a manner that not only
stimulates commitment, integrity, work-life
balance,
passion,
enjoyment at work and
employee engagement but also stimulates individual and
team learning in order to develop a motivated workforce and
sustainable
performance improvement and
quality enhancement for the organization.
Inspiring
Culture: 5 Elements
Missing Links in Lean Six
Sigma
We have been deploying Lean Six
Sigma for over the past five years. What we found is that
while Lean Six Sigma does a great job addressing the primary
concerns of manufacturing and service, there was something
missing, something to keep the momentum going.
That something is Human
Capital. That’s right, Lean Six Sigma primarily addresses
quality issues, manufacturing issues, transactional issues,
customer issues, speed and variability issues. However,
unless your organization is run by robots, you still need
people to make it all work. There was nothing in Lean Six
Sigma that systematically addresses the very real needs of
the people who are the heart and soul of any business. Total
Performance Scorecard Lean Six Sigma (TPS-Lean Six Sigma) is
the only program of its kind that incorporates the element
of Human Capital as a structured part of a Lean Six Sigma
program.
Let’s face it – you can design
the best Lean Six Sigma program in the world, but if the
people running it and working within it are not happy
themselves, how effective do you think the program will be?
Let’s consider the corollary – what if you had employees
that are highly motivated running your Lean Six Sigma
initiative? Wouldn’t that be the best approach? Would you
have to force feed the program to your employees, or will
they grab on and move the program along even further then
originally envisioned?
TPS-Lean Six Sigma helps you
design, develop, and implement the most powerful Lean Six
Sigma program in the world. It combines all the powerful
tools and methodologies of Lean and Six Sigma with personal
power optimization of the Total Performance Scorecard. The
result is a breakthrough program that
increases speed, reduces waste,
motivates the workforce,
satisfies customers, and
drives up profit.
