Motivational Lean/Six Sigma

• The company has to have the desire to change (baseball story)

• Align the change with a strategic initiative

• Passionate Executive sponsorship

• An endorsed Project charter

• Knowledgeable and excited team

• Process ownership shared by the team and formal owner

• Provide an amnesty program

• Provide an effective award program

• Set realistic goals

• Apply Lean first

• Belts must have time to work projects

• If a manager will not get onboard, improve everything around them so their poor performance is obvious and the boss makes them comply.

04/19/23 06:50 PM 008_8273-08_Motivational 3

• Only apply the tools that fix the problem-not the entire arsenal.

• Deliver low-quick wins, then continue the longer projects

• Assemble a passionate team willing to visualize the steps, count the cost, pay the price, and never give up!

• Flattering introduction of team members

• Develop a phased approach for large improvements

• Conduct follow-up meetings

• Share the results of projects and the entire program

• Train all Sr. Management at the “Awareness or Champion” level

• Ensure finance measures the results, not L6S practitioners

• Put a strong board in place and control the program (especially for Global companies)

• Eliminate the defect or very strong C in DMAIC (Hawthorne Effect)

Lessons Learned (right up front)

Three Components to a Successful Six Sigma Deployment

• Support system– Infrastructure for the project/belt selection and training– Finance engagement– Management support at all levels

• Belts– Crisp process for identifying the right belts (Green Belt,

Black Belt, Master Black Belt)– Conducting training

• Projects– Crisp process for project selection– Work with CSC to pick projects benefiting them and reducing

costs– Matching the belts with the projects– Improve processes by increasing customer/employee

satisfaction, revenue, and performance while reducing costs, waste, and defects

04/19/23 06:50 PM 008_8273-08_Motivational 5

Five Phases of Six Sigma Deployment1. Decide

– Executive team says "yes" to deployment of a Six Sigma program– Establish infrastructure, methodology, and tools to be used

2. Prepare – Establish infrastructure– Executives on board– Pilot effort — take successes and use as springboard for other areas

3. Launch – Initial training– Pilot projects

4. Expand — can take 1 to 2 years– Share successes within corporation to get more support– Evaluate infrastructure– Expand training – Cultural shift

5. Sustain — future– Integrate, audit, measure, assess, review

My Own Walk Through Change

• The fall that took it all

• My three thoughts on the way down– This is really going to hurt

– Did I kiss my family goodbye?

– I will survive

• Paralysis

• Surgeries

Hard times do not dictate the outcome — you do.

How CSC Put Lean/Six Sigma in Place Against Resistance

04/19/23 06:50 PM 008_8273-08_Motivational 8

Although many successful Lean/Six Sigma companies start a program from the top down, some grow from the ground up.

Here’s our story …

The Beginning of Lean/Six Sigma at CSC

04/19/23 06:50 PM 008_8273-08_Motivational 9

In 2000, word came that a few of our accounts out there were improving customer satisfaction and

revenue while reducing costs and errors.

It was like a voice from the wilderness.

CSAT and Revenue

Errors and Costs

Six Sigma

The Master asked how?

Turns out they were using some new fangled tools and they called it

The Master said, “I don’t care what you call it, do more of it!”

The Beginning of Lean/Six Sigma at CSC

04/19/23 06:50 PM 008_8273-08_Motivational 11

So, in early 2001 those few accounts began training others in the use of “those new fangled tools.”

The Master asked,

“If it worked over there, will it work over here?”

And it did!And the practice spread, and it was good.

The Beginning of Lean/Six Sigma at CSC

04/19/23 06:50 PM 008_8273-08_Motivational 12

In early 2002 the Master asked a few of the Karate disciples

(an MBB and several BBs) to train a whole division in Lean/Six Sigma.

And they multiplied …and did statistical analysis as well.

The Beginning of Lean/Six Sigma at CSC

04/19/23 06:50 PM 008_8273-08_Motivational 13

By late 2002, it was working so well the Master said to all the divisions,

“We are now a Lean/Six Sigma company.

And that led to …

Embrace this new practice as it is now ours!”

LEAN your processes to measure productivity and sustain your deployments. This will reduce:

• Loops

• Non-value added approvals

• Bottlenecks

• Series steps

• Unnecessary complexity

• Non-value added steps

• Process time/cycle time

• Problem steps

• Set-up time

• Manual effort

• Rework

• Pushes (insert pulls)

The Resistance to Change• That won’t work here

• Change is uncomfortable

• We seem to have all the time in the world to rework it, but no time to eliminate the defect (do it right the first time

• The best and worst day of my life (Dr. and Jon)

• The “Daddy Book”

• Colorado Trip

The first step toward change is the hardest.

Traditionalquality costs —

Lean/Six Sigma attacks the entire “iceberg” systmatically resulting in higher quality, lower cost, timeliness, and improved customer satisfaction.

Which projects do you choose? Gain momentum by aligning business problems and strategic initiatives.

Hiddenqualitycostsdifficult to measure — around 15% to 25%

Strategic Initiatives:1. Reduce time to receive parts from vendors.2. Reduce the cost of bidding.

04/19/23 06:50 PM 008_8273-08_Motivational 20

Measuring the Results

• Measure your progress through external validation of improvement (audit teams from other departments)

• Measure before, during and after the process improvement (be able to reduce the noise – changes in technology, other Pis, reorganizations, etc.)

• Post projects on a database to be shared across the organization (consider MiniTab Tracking)

• Use the Six Sigma Maturity Model to ascertain your deployment level

• Look at the Big Picture – compare your stock price or profit before and after you launched your L6S Program

• Track the total $ saved and revenue increases directly attributable to your L6S Program

• Measure Employee Sat and Customer Sat increase/decrease in those areas supposedly improved

• Ensure Process Competence is measured to ensure alignment of L6S improvements with product/service customer deliverables

• All employees in this recessed business environment have a fiduciary duty to increase your stock price

04/19/23 06:50 PM 008_8273-08_Motivational 21

Industry Average Results

• Fully Dedicated (100% set aside) BB’s average $1M/Yr in reduction of costs or increases in revenue (5-10 times their salary)

• Integrated (have daily operational responsibilities) BB’s average $250K in reduction of costs or increases in revenue (2-5 times their salary)

• GB Projects average $25K

• To meet or exceed these industry averages:–Award Ceremonies and/or Dinners w/Sr. Management

–Recognition from the President

–Monetary awards based upon the achievement presented by Sr. Management

–These will assist you in improving upon completing 60 projects out of 500 trained employees.

04/19/23 06:50 PM 008_8273-08_Motivational 22

Current Situation

• More than 200 Six Sigma Black Belt projects and close to 1,500 Green Belt projects already implemented

• CSC’s Lean/Six Sigma program has decreased costs, reduced SLA payment, or increased revenue by over $180M in just seven years (validated by CSC Finance) CSC Lean/Six Sigma Savings (yrs 1-4 is GIS and FSG alone)

Taking the First Step Toward Change

• The first step is the hardest — the 30’ hall

• The miracle walk

• The row across America

• Jon at USNA

• Jason at US Marine Basic Training Graduation

• Don’t give up until the change is in place

• You have to crawl beforeyou can walk, run, or fly

Keep Your Program Fresh

• For CSC this has been:

–New Wins – DSO Reduction

–New Tools – Human Sigma

–Marketing Tool – Blue Ocean

He is a man of faith, and I am looking forward to walking with him in heaven some day.” (Quote from a network program which Tom Landry hosted.)

• Author and Speaker Zig Ziglar: “Rob Bryant is an effective speaker! He had our staff laughing one minute and crying the next. He is an inspirational man who, by example as well as a very effective presentation, is able to give encouragement and hope to those who have the privilege of listening to him. He will be a “hit” with your group. Rob’s message is timely and challenging — one that you will long remember. Rob has a champion’s heart and is an encouragement and inspiration to us all.”

Mr. Speaker, it is both an honor and a pleasure to salute Rob Bryant today.“

• Former Congressman Pete Geren, Texas: “Mr. Speaker, strength and perseverance rolled into town this week in the heart of Rob Bryant.
