    The success of Process Improvement initiatives depends on their contribution to corporate performance. Why, then, do some organizations pursue projects in a strategic vacuum, or worse, without an understanding of the measures they are trying to improve? If we don’t have strategic objectives, we can’t set our compasses, and if we aren't measuring performance, our destination is a wish, not a plan; it’s as simple as that.

    Lack of well-defined strategic objectives, and performance…

    The success of Process Improvement initiatives depends on their contribution to corporate performance. Why, then, do some organizations pursue projects in a strategic vacuum, or worse, without an understanding of the measures they are trying to improve? If we don’t have strategic objectives, we can’t set our compasses, and if we aren't measuring performance, our destination is a wish, not a plan; it’s as simple as that.

    Lack of well-defined strategic objectives, and performance indicators that are embedded in management systems, undermines the successful pursuit of both enterprise strategy and process improvement initiatives.

    To close the gap, we have added Strategic Management Consulting and Strategic Management Training to our repertoire.

    →Strategic Management Consulting has three thrusts, each of which can be pursued as a separate mandate or integrated into Process Improvement or Lean Six Sigma Deployment projects:
    1. Strategic Management Utilizing the Balanced Score Card
    2. Process Improvement Management
    3. Routine Performance Management

    For full details, please go to: http://www.ezsigmagroup.com/service

    →Strategic Management Training consists of two courses.
    1. Balanced Scorecard Champion
    2. Applying the Seven Quality Tools to Process Improvement

    Details for these two new courses and our full Spring 2014 Open Enrollment program are available at: http://www.ezsigmagroup.com/105-2/training-development/open-enrollment/

    In the 1970s, the publishers of Industry Week magazine co-founded a company called Penton Learning Systems.

    Its mission and purpose was to "supply the missing link between a number of disconnected colleges and universities, each marginally effective in designing and developing short courses for managerial and professional workers, and an integrated system of great power."

    The concept was simple. Let's say Michigan State University offered the best short course on Developing the Annual Marketing Plan and California Institute of Technology offered the best short course on Energy Management for Commercial Buildings. MSU could "import" CIT's Energy Management course and export its marketing planning seminar to CIT. If 100 schools entered the consortium, and each provided just one outstanding seminar and faculty member, then every institution would have access to 100 outstanding seminars and faculty members.

    The concept proved valid. 105 colleges and universities joined the consortium. Schools, such as Southern Methodist University, University of California-Berkeley, University of Cincinnati, California Institute of Technology, Northwestern University, Michigan State University, University of Minnesota, and the like became active "importers and exporters" of timely seminars that could be offered to their local markets.

    For 15 years, Penton Learning Systems managed this consortium with great success. It assisted in the design and development of over 30,000 short courses/seminars in the fields of quality management, project management, finance and accounting, marketing management, strategic planning and implementation, and the like

    Mission
    The mission of the ISSC is to promote best practice and standards in all areas of Six Sigma, Lean and Quality fields. Through examination and registration of Six Sigma and Lean Quality professionals, ISSC helps to assure the standard of Six Sigma and Lean qualification and support the business, non-profit making and public sectors to employ qualified Six Sigma and Lean people.

    Structure
    The ISSC is governed by 2 bodies, the Examination Board and the Executive Committee elected by registered members of ISSC; and is supported by an Advisory Board consisting of Six Sigma companies and University professors majoring in Six Sigma and Lean field.

    No commercial Operations
    The ISSC will not produce products or services in competition with commercial firms. The ISSC believes that it can best encourage the broadest range of products and services for the quality profession by providing encouragement and assistance to individuals and organizations, rather than by competing with them. The ISSC believes that it is unfair for a non-profit making organization to engage in commercial activities and partnerships and it inevitably leads to fewer products and services being available to the professional.

    The ISSC will encourage the development of products and services for quality improvement by providing reviewer services, notifying its members of opportunities, providing access to the ISSC community, and promote a diversity of offerings for its members.

    Mixed Model Material Management
    Always a bridesmaid, never the bride: that’s more or less the story of Material Management in a lot of companies. It rarely receives the amount of attention it deserves. And yet, between 60-80% of your product cost is Materials, as well as a large percentage of your assets.
    The delivery of materials to your production line or cell requires the accomplishment of the “7 Rights”: Location, Quantity, Item, Container, Time, Sequence, Cost. This is especially challenging in a Mixed-Model line, with a high variety of parts and options. In this free course we’ll review the Lean methods in use today to design a high-performing Lean material delivery system. Finally, Materials Management will have its day.

    Mixed Model Simulation Modeling
    The worst time to test your Lean designs is when they have already been built. That’s when changes are the most expensive and disruptive. Fortunately, there is a better way: testing designs using computer simulation modeling.
    Becoming a Simulation Expert admittedly takes time and training, but Lean Professionals need to aspire to become simulation Super Users. In this free course we’ll cover the benefits and challenges of using computer simulation, the necessary inputs and outputs of a simulation model, and demo a model using a fully-capable Excel-based simulation tool.

    Implementing best practices and continuous improvement strategies to ensure cost savings, reduce operational risk and retain world class talent

    For oil and gas executives, the need for Operational Excellence (OE) has never been greater. Exploration, development and production costs are rising, and refining margins are under pressure. A shortage of technical talent and capability has bid up the cost of employees and services even further. At the same time, the oil and gas industry is under tremendous pressure to reduce risk, even as it takes on new challenges and rise above competition. Regulations are becoming increasingly complex and regulators more proactive, requiring a greater level of attention to ensure effective compliance. Also the unconventional oil and gas players require unprecedented excellence within and across the value chain amidst onerous commercial conditions, economic and regulatory pressures.

    Liker Leadership Institute (LLI) offers an innovative way to learn the secret to lean leadership.

    When Jeff Liker wrote “the Toyota Way to Lean Leadership” with Gary Convis we knew that “lean leaders” would finally have a way to live the company values, become excellent at process improvement following the disciplined approach of Plan-Do-Check-Act, learn to coach others in process improvement, and lead both horizontally across the company and vertically within their area of responsibility. This allows them to achieve the challenging targets the organization needs for success. View our teaching objectives.

    This course provides each Yellow Belt student and Green Belt student the opportunity to meet Jeffrey K. Liker in a WebEx webinar every week by registering at http://LikerLeadership.webex.com . Green Belt students receive an additional 20 hours of personal coaching (in one hour segments) as they make their way through a project sponsored by their organization. Management teams of four or more team members will receive a 25% discount for working through the Green Belt certification using a common project. Contact support@LikerLeadership.com to make additional arrangements.

    This course provides an overview of each step in the lean leadership development process: Self-development, Developing and Coaching Others, Supporting Daily Kaizen, and Creating a Vision and Aligned Goals. Throughout the course you will learn more deeply through exercises, case examples, quizzes, and actual projects in your workplace under the guidance of talented lean coaches (LLI Coaches).

  • Process Excellence in Energy Conference 15-18 June 2014 in Dubai

    Process excellence or operational excellence is no longer to strive for, it is something which is a must-have for oil and gas companies. Oil and gas reserves are becoming more and more inaccessible as well as expensive to extract them from the ground. Technologies need to be efficiently used to maximise the returns of investment on them as well as ensure that the workforce is adequately equipped with knowledge and expertise to utilize these technologies.

    Process excellence or operational excellence is no longer to strive for, it is something which is a must-have for oil and gas companies. Oil and gas reserves are becoming more and more inaccessible as well as expensive to extract them from the ground. Technologies need to be efficiently used to maximise the returns of investment on them as well as ensure that the workforce is adequately equipped with knowledge and expertise to utilize these technologies. Margins of profitability need to be improved especially in the midstream and downstream segments. Operational efficiency is also about safety, both people and equipment.

    Process excellence looks at all the strategies, mechanisms and subsequent technologies required to reduce waste and errors throughout a system. This reduction in waste or loss is directly translated in increased bottom lines. The concept of process excellence is becoming increasingly more complex and popular and is being implemented by all major industries where small percentages can have a major impact on bottom line. Several schools of management/thought are utilized in relation to process and operation excellence, with the most popular ones being Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, ISO 9000-9001, Kaizen ISO 14000, OHSAS 18001 (occupational health and safety) and Business Process Management.

    IQPC is proud to organize the Process Excellence in Energy conference from 15-18 June 2014 in Dubai where experts from the oil and gas industry will be collaborating with operational excellence stalwarts to improve efficiency in their day-to-day operations and keep a control on rising costs.
