ISCOM 472 Week 1 Lean Enterprise Organization

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word summary in which you address the following points:

  • Describe briefly at least two core elements of lean that you personally can use to improve your selected organization.
  • Compare/contrast four operational excellence approaches (Six Sigma, TQM, Theory of Constraints, ISO, etc.) for a lean enterprise using the simple matrix.

Note: The matrix will need to be included in your paper.

  • Evaluate how your selected organization’s vision statement supports lean. If the organization’s vision statement does not support lean, re-write it so that it does, and describe how your new version of the vision supports lean along with a comparison of the old and new forms.
  • Assess how lean enterprises and/or other operational excellence initiatives/approaches can help lead an organization through change.

Use a minimum of three different references.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

ISCOM 472 Week 2 Benchmarking with Toyota

Resources: University of Phoenix Library

Select a public organization in need of improvement that you will benchmark against Toyota.

Research Toyota Production System (TPS) and Toyota Lean Enterprise solutions, and also the selected public organization that needs improvement.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper in which you benchmark/baseline the lean enterprise organization against Toyota.

Compare and contrast your chosen organization with Toyota (a company that already practices lean enterprise best practices and initiatives).

  • Evaluate how the benchmarked best practices can be integrated into your selected organization’s practices.
  • Explain how benchmarking/baselining can facilitate the change process to improve efficiency and eliminate waste.

Cite at least three different references.

ISCOM 472 Week 3 Process Improvement Opportunities

Research one organization that needs improvement and one benchmark organization as a team.

Create an As-Is process flowchart for a process that requires improvement within your team’s selected organization.

Develop a 700-word summary in which you explain process improvement opportunities and change management processes for the organization in need.

Address each of the following in your summary:

  • Explain why As-Is process flowcharts are important to problem solving, and potential consequences of incorrectly completing an As-Is flowchart.
  • Use the matrix example given below to identify and benchmark process improvement categories:

    • Identify and explain the following terms:

      • Reduced lead-time/cycle-time
      • Improved quality
      • Elimination of waste
      • Reduced total cost process improvements.

    • Benchmark these four categories against Toyota Production Systems (TPS) lean enterprise best practices.

  • Describe challenges that the selected organization may face in implementing these areas of improvement.
  • Map at least two of the As-Is process improvement categories in the matrix to your selected organization.
  • Use flowcharting process map boxes (spaghetti and/or swim lane) and at least two decision trees/blocks in the charting.
  • Include your As-Is flowchart as an exhibit or figure in your paper.

Process Improvement CategoriesDefinitions (Identify and Explain)Toyota (Best Practice) Description
Reduced Lead-Time / Cycle-Time

ISCOM 472 Week 3 DMAIC Problem Solving

Identify a process you want to improve within your organization or one that you believe would benefit from improvement.   

Create an 18- to 24-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with detailed speaker notes that addresses each of the process improvement phases of DMAIC.

Research each phase of DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control).

Use “5 Whys” and 5S as two of your 10 selected tools/techniques.  You may choose the other eight tools/techniques as you like (e.g. flow charts, Pareto charts, control charts, scatter diagrams, and brainstorming).For each phase, provide applied examples of process improvement within your selected organization and apply two different tools/techniques to each phase that can be used to analyze the process that you have chosen to improve.

Create one slide for each phase of DMAIC, and one slide for each tool/technique used within each phase, for a total of 3 slides per phase.

  • Define

    • [Tool 1]
    • [Tool 2]

  • Measure

    • [Tool 1]
    • [Tool 2]

  • Analyze

    • [Tool 1]
    • [Tool 2]

  • Improve

    • [Tool 1]
    • [Tool 2]

  • Control

    • [Tool 1]
    • [Tool 2]

ISCOM 472 Week 4 “To-Be” Flowchart Analysis

Create a 700-word paper in which you address the following:

  • Use the two selected As-Is process flowcharts from Week 2 for reference.
  • Recommend process improvements using the categories selected and benchmarked against Toyota.
  • Map the new improved To-Be processes.
  • Describe how you used the Toyota benchmark information to help you improve the two processes.
  • Use at least two new process improvement tools/techniques from DMAIC (one per each Week 2 flowchart) that can help to further improve your selected processes, and describe how they were implemented.
  • Explain how using DMAIC tools and techniques can help to create standardized processes.
  • Identify potential implementation challenges for your process changes.
  • Recommend how the organization may resolve resistance to change through the use of communication and implementation plans.
  • Map the two new and improved To-Be flowcharts, and add them to the assignment as an exhibit or figure.
