Ik wil jullie bedanken voor de inzet en support tijdens  de Green Belt en Black belt trainingen (Operational Excellence) binnen onze organisatie. Vanaf de start hebben jullie een aanpak gehad die duidelijk praktijkgericht was. Onze mensen hebben zich op hun gemak gevoeld, door jullie gesteund en zijn vol enthousiasme begonnen aan hun projecten. Het op een gestructureerde wijze aanpakken en verankeren van verbeteringen heeft onze organisatie een duidelijke duw gegeven in de goede richting. Hierdoor zijn we in staat meer te produceren, met een optimale kwaliteit binnen de gevraagde levertijd. De kostenbesparingen binnen ons bedrijf zijn aanzienlijk en geven ons in de toekomst verdere mogelijkheden om nieuwe verbeterprojecten door te voeren.

Lots of new ideas and great presentation techniques

Thanks so much, Rene … it was a splendid course. I actually looked forward to everyday though it may not have seemed like it. I didn’t write this down, but one of the things I enjoyed about it was how the tasks and exercises which looked daunting and difficult at the beginning all started to make sense once we worked as a team and pooled ideas or suggestions together. I can’t wait to take on a project so I don’t lose a lot of what we have learned. I’m an Helicopter Instructor as well but I will be adopting a lot of your presentation techniques and ideas to my approach to teaching if you don’t mind. I look forward to working with you again soon “Sensei”. Take care and thanks once more for a week of good learning and fun.

An unforgettable experience on a Ferrari racing circuit!

The PEEC team organised a “Red Belt” event in Pavia in collaboration with Merzario Academy where we all enjoyed an unforgettable experience driving on a Ferrari racing circuit. Every participant sat in a Ferrari driver’s seat and was able to demonstrate his/her driving skills with the help of an experienced champion (Arturo Merzario and his team of professional race car drivers). We were all rewarded with a “Red Belt Certificate” and, of course, had lots of fun!

When the analysis is done; the scope and nature of your activity changes

Shift from analysis and decision making to action, but the implementation is still a time for learning and improvement Increase in task complexity And a decrease in your control over the tasks Greater numbers of people: All those directly involved in the solution All those indirectly involved in its impact Review of team make-up may be useful and you will definitely need to re-plan (see Project Management). Resources (time, money, equipment, commitment) even more critical All of this is about transferring responsibility from the improvement team to the process team (the people who run the process). This transfer must be explicitly clear. Ensure that the organisation knows what is happening, when and how Be clear whether it is a Big Bang, in Phases or ‘drip feeds’ Dealing with key people issues  Managing ambiguity  Managing personal exposure  Dealing with the ‘survivors’ If you are doing a phased roll-out, must manage parallel operations You must ensure that the customer will not feel the impact of your internal transitions Building on wins, minimising losses and learning from “incomplete successes” The basic tools that we use as Black Belt project managers are; Project Plan Process Map RACI matrix Skills Matrix Dash Board (1 single sheet mgt report)

How to choose a good Lean Six Sigma project.

Selecting and defining an Improvement project: 3 key questions Question 1 – What is the problem that needs to be fixed? What must be improved? (not how to improve it). Clear focus on the issue that is to be changed (not the solution). Question 2 – Why is it important? Why are you going to spend time and effort to improve the situation? Clear focus on the importance of this project. Question 3 – How will I know when I have succeeded? What can I measure that will show me I have finished the project? This measure should be a measure of ‘quality’, ‘waste’, ‘on-time’, ‘Euros’ or ‘customer satisfaction’. Clear focus on the ‘measurable benefits’. Defining the problem, is the first step to take…

Europe has a great economy. Why do we need to worry about productivity?

Europe’s economy has experienced seemingly high productivity over the past decades, due largely to the massive capital investments in various sectors. However, the real issue is Europe’s productivity growth rate (how quickly we’re improving our productivity). Over the recent years, Europe’s productivity has been lower then China’s and India’s productivity growth rate. Europe doesn’t fare any better when compared to countries around the world. As an economy, we start to lag behind, but on the macroeconomic level, Europe’s prospects remain very rosy, but from a microeconomic perspective our performance is of serious concern. Compared to other developed economies, Europe has weakening labour productivity growth and sliding real income growth. Concerns about weak productivity growth will only intensify as structural changes in the global economy shift the engines of economic growth to China, India, and Brazil.

Why is Europe performing so poorly in productivity growth?

Various factors have contributed to our poor productivity growth: slow or no adoption of new processes and technologies to enhance efficiency underinvestment in machinery, equipment, and technology lack of innovation to enable the creation of new products and technologies lagging workplace re-organization and worker training The EU, in close partnership with industry and other levels of governments, is working on a strategic three-pronged approach to address the productivity growth challenges faced by Europe: education and awareness of productivity productivity enhancement tools policies to promote and enhance productivity and innovation
