| The
same principles of statistical thinking in Six Sigma
and Lean Production can be applied to Project Management
with the same results: substantial improvement without
trading off time, resources, or quality. Does your
organization need projects done in less time? Or
make late projects extinct? Or deliver more projects
with the same resources? A method exists to deliver
these results.
Since
1997, when Eli Goldratt developed the Critical
Chain approach for managing single and multiple
projects, hundreds of companies have benefited
from substantial improvement in project management.
In this one-day workshop, you will learn how the
application of statistics from Six Sigma and flow
from Lean Production provide an entirely new way
to manage projects - how the same resources can
deliver more projects, on time, with less work,
and no sacrifice of quality.
The
tutorial has three parts:
1. What is the problem with traditional project
management? Why do our projects take too long?
Why are so many projects late? Why do we have
to scramble resources, cut scope, and sacrifice
quality to make our deadline?
2. How can the statistical concepts of Six Sigma
provide us a new way to manage projects? How can
we apply Lean Production to managing projects,
instead of plants? What kind of results can these
methods deliver?
3. How can we transition from what we're doing
now (traditional project management) to the next
generation? How can software development projects,
Six Sigma projects, and Lean projects get done
faster? Why is the implementation the point where
many companies fail with Six Sigma and Lean for
project management?
Dr.
Richard Zultner is a Six Sigma Master Black Belt,
a Certified Quality Engineer, and Certified Software
Quality Engineer. In project management, he is a
Project Management Professional, a Jonah in the
Theory of Constraints, and has been trained in Critical
Chain project management by Eli Goldratt and Tony
Rizzo.
