Conference Information
Most manufacturing companies have implemented some sort of Lean or Six Sigma programs, but in project-based environments, the effectiveness of these programs is often hard to measure. As a senior executive, you need to be able to show a direct effect between improvement programs and your bottom line.
C-level executives, this webcast is for you. Enterprise-wide improvement requires top-level engagement. Invest an hour of your time to learn about a strategy that will drive improvements across your company and more dollars to your bottom line. If you're already engaged but want to improve the results you are getting with your Lean and Six Sigma programs, this program is for you.
This IndustryWeek-hosted presentation covers:
- Why lean and Six Sigma projects often do not produce measurable results in project environments
- How the management policies you set cause an impact on the success of projects
- How management typically measures success, and why those measurements often cause projects to be less effective
- How to prioritize which areas should be targeted for improvement programs
- How companies like Boeing and Delta Air Lines are achieving between 25%-40% more throughput that Lean and Six Sigma alone did not deliver
