| Key Elements of Lean Six Sigma Success | When it comes to Performance Excellence deployments, thoughtful planning makes a difference. This survey explores the ins and outs of starting a Six Sigma initiative, and seeks to identify the elements that contribute to a program's success during the first two years. |
| Lean Six Sigma in Fortune 500 Companies | After Six Sigma's official start at Motorola in 1987, thousands of companies worldwide have embraced the methodology, including members of the Fortune 500, which represents the public companies in the United States with the largest revenues. |
| How Small Companies Use Lean Six Sigma | Six Sigma is alive and well in many "small" companies. Organizations with fewer employees and less revenue will approach the application of the methodology differently than a multi-billion dollar corporation. But how do these ends of the spectrum differ? |
| Lean Six Sigma Culture Change | What happens when a company decides its culture should change? How does the company effect that change? What tools does it use and how quickly can it expect to see results? This research addresses these questions and explores what role Six Sigma plays in effecting culture change. |
| Lean Six Sigma Buy-in | The more that a company's employees have "bought in" to Six Sigma, the more likely the company is to be successful in its deployment. Yet, as this research shows, many companies are not thinking of buy-in when they launch a program, and they are not making a concerted effort to increase it. |
| Lean Six Sigma Work Environment | When considering what constitutes a great Six Sigma company, it is common to look at the program reach and the benefits attained. Another consideration is the Six Sigma work environment itself. These 10 companies exemplify the kind of place where Six Sigma professionals want to hang their Belt. |
| Continuous Improvement in a Poor Economy | With dismal economic conditions taking a toll on most businesses, what is the impact on the Six Sigma community? This research explores how Six Sigma companies are responding to the crisis, looking first at business operations overall and then at improvement programs themselves. |
| The Future of Six Sigma | Although Six Sigma has simulation tools to predict future events and mitigate associated risks, there is no crystal ball for knowing what is in store for Six Sigma itself. Through the responses of nearly 1,500 survey participants, this iSixSigma survey adds some clarity to the picture. |
| Benefits and Challenges of Lean Management | If ever there was a time to make business operations leaner, it is now. Through the years, companies that have embraced Lean principles have seen significant benefits. This research explores Lean usage and what can be expected along the way. |
