Lean Six Sigma project counseling: centralized counseling and point-to-point counseling

Some enterprises are training , Periodic coaching is very simple , Just let the teacher evaluate and give some advice on the project report in the next stage of training , Sending out training is generally carried out in this way . But some enterprises attach great importance to project guidance . There is an enterprise producing LCD in Guangdong , At the beginning of my visit, I let the consultant teacher into the factory to understand the processing process , Explain the problem of the project . When coaching at each stage , Let's first look at the progress of production , Then ask all project team members to participate in the coaching . During the process, each member is required to put forward the problems arising from their respective parts , Listen to the teacher .

The coaching of Lean Six Sigma projects generally includes centralized coaching 、 Point to point ( Individual projects ) Two kinds of coaching . Generally, the company according to their actual situation , It can be mainly in one of these ways , Another comprehensive method supplemented by .

One 、 Focus on coaching

Let all project teams coach together , Students not only listen to their teachers' guidance , Also participate in the coaching of other projects . This method enables students to understand more problems and mistakes through the guidance of teachers on other projects , Have a deeper understanding of the deviation of the problem and the idea of project analysis , It is conducive to mastering the Lean Six Sigma knowledge learned . in addition , Centralized tutoring can save the time of consulting teachers , Improve consulting efficiency . It can make the teacher's time focus on tutoring , It also reduces the preparation time of each project team . The disadvantage is that there are many people involved , It takes more time for other work . The level of detail of project counseling , The depth of discussion on the project may not be enough . Members of the project team are less involved , Often only black belts and core members can participate , The scope of learning and communication is small , It is unfavorable to personnel training .

Two 、 Point to point project coaching

Let the consulting teacher come to the project team to coach . The advantage is to coach the project carefully , Basically, all members of the project team can participate in the analysis of problems 、 Discussion and coaching . When there are problems, you can see the production site and the actual products , You can have in-depth discussion and coaching , It is very helpful to solve complex project problems . The disadvantage is that it takes more time to consult teachers , Project team members also only participate in their own project coaching , I didn't participate in other projects , We cannot learn from the experience of other projects , It's bad for black belt learning .

In centralized coaching , A few enterprises will have some project backbones and black belts to participate in project counseling . Someone made a presentation about the project , Someone records the problems of the project . The problems pointed out each time can be basically improved . In some enterprises, only one black belt participated in the centralized counseling of the project , We can't completely record the problems we pointed out , I often see in the later coaching that the problems pointed out have not been corrected . The reason is , Some forget , Some have no time to change and revise . If there is a project team with multiple participants , Such problems occur less . In peer-to-peer coaching , Some enterprises will arrange all project team members to participate in coaching, and even relevant leaders to participate , This effect is also better , Problems can also be solved quickly .

For important problems in coaching , For example, the analysis deviation of the project , The progress of the project is seriously behind , The cooperation of other departments is poor , The promotion department personnel of some companies will also participate in the follow-up . They will participate in the meetings held by the project team , Participate in the coordination activities of relevant departments . Any company whose project promotion department can participate in specific projects , Generally, the overall progress is good , The effect of coaching is also good , It's a virtuous circle . In some enterprises that adopt part-time black belt system , The personnel of the promotion department can also provide simple internal guidance , So that many problems can be solved in time .

After the completion or final completion of the phased work of the project , There will be some internal reviews . Some enterprises have periodic review and final review , The result of the review will affect the final evaluation and reward of the project team . Some enterprises do not conduct periodic reviews , Review only when the project is closed . Some foreign enterprises often only have reporting meetings to the management , There was no strict review . Some individual enterprises do not have these two kinds of reviews , Will directly affect the quality of the project .

When the project is finally closed , The financial department will confirm the financial income . Some companies' Lean Six Sigma projects are directly linked to the finance department , Led by President and chief financial officer , Carry out strict financial control . Some companies just let finance participate in accounting , After a general understanding of the calculation formula and process, I signed , The baseline and achievement will not be strictly confirmed .
