. Workplace Organization - This is a specific type of kaizen that focuses on workflow configuration throughout the workplace.

LEAN SIX-SIGMA MENTORING PROGRAMS
Many companies today have some employees trained in Lean Six-Sigma techniques but are unable to harness the true benefits of this training. The reasons range from; not enough time by Senior Management to initiate and drive programs, to insufficient numbers of Lean Six-Sigma trained employees, to some well trained Lean Six-Sigma employees that have limited experience and that need assistance to really drive projects to successful completions.
"The primary benefit of Our Black Belt Mentor Program is that your company will have a dedicated Black Belt drive your project to a successful completion"
The overall objective of Black Belt Mentoring Programs is to assist companies that currently have employees that are at the White, Yellow, Green & Black Belt levels. The programs are lead by a Lean Six-Sigma Black Belt with over a dozen projects completed. They are tailored to meet Senior Management Objectives by identifying and defining the Business Case for projects. They then lead & mentor a small project team of employees on the implementation of Lean Six-Sigma techniques to meet these project objectives.
. User Requirements analysis - Identify the system requirements, for each of the users of the proposed system, prior to an MRP/ERP system selection.
. Gap analyses - This type of project identifies the deficiencies between what the Users need, versus what the System is capable of providing. This is traditionally performed prior to a system upgrade.
. Ensure that all processes are defined, and follow Lean Principles as they are linked to the new or existing ERP system.
. Use an ERP implementation as an opportunity to define missing documents for your ISO system. All processes and procedures should be documented to meet ISO requirements, and to be used as a template for connectivity to your ERP system. One documentation system supports the other.
. Develop an Information Stream Map for your ERP implementation. This will help all system users, and the management team, to visualize the connects, and possible disconnects, in the use of the ERP system within your process flow.
