“Hi, I’m Jay Arthur, author of “Lean Six Sigma Demystified” and QI Macros [software].
When I think back, I spent five days in a control chart class learning how to do hand calculations for control chart limits. You know, with QI Macros, I could have gotten that done in a couple hours and started analyzing some real data. Before that, I’d taken ‘Team Leader Training,’ which was 5 days. With QI Macros and a little bit of smart design, I could have learned all that in one day. One day, right? That’s what I call my Agile Process Innovation class: hacking Lean and Six Sigma to get results.
“You know, you don’t have to know everything to do everything. You have to go figure out how to automate your training so that people can learn it quickly.
“That’s my Improvement Insight. Let’s go out and improve something this week, like how we train people so we can start getting results immediately.”
