Transforming Transformation with the Gripman Method Bill Gripman

This book transforms the practice of Lean Six Sigma deployments from inefficient and often ineffective to fast, focused and highly profitable. From the proper organization, drastic reduction in training needs, completion of projects in parallel and relentless strategic focus, this book makes it much easier for executives to commit to a continuous process improvement deployment. The proper organization to allow executives to select their priorities while optimizing the time spent on monitoring breakthroughs is delineated. How to focus exclusively on projects that transform the organizational priorities and do it at a speed heretofore unattainable is all here. This book will prove especially interesting to executives who have tried Lean Six Sigma in the past, only to have the effort fall flat in their organization. This book explains how the use of Shingo style Value Stream Mapping can be used to accelerate project completion and at the same time ensure alignment of transformation within a process (no sub-optimizing or competing projects). This book is designed to explain the Gripman Method, answer questions that any executive might care to ask and then go through the method step by step. At the end are additional thoughts about what makes the Gripman Method superior and a direct comparison between the Gripman Method and the traditional Lean Six Sigma deployment. The Gripman Method is the result of 10 years of practice, research and analysis by highly experienced Lean Six Sigma practitioners. Enjoy!
