Abstract:
In early 2005 the Xerox Corporation began
deploying its Design for Lean Six Sigma (DfLSS)
initiative. Many companies’ DfLSS deployments
are typically structured similarly to their Lean
Six Sigma programs. This presentation outlines
an unconventional DfLSS deployment model used
at Xerox Corp. to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency,
and predictability of technology and product-development
organizations. This custom deployment model was
structured around a building-block training structure,
a flexible competency-based certification process,
and integrated coaching. DfLSS program-deployment
results include high employee satisfaction, over
1000 product-delivery professionals trained, and
significant product-delivery success stories.
The lessons learned typically
focused on what worked, what did not work, and
what ultimately could be characterized as interesting.
This presentation also includes what was learned
and the impact these lessons had on the overall
DfLSS program.
