It was once suggested that I take my blog materials and turn them into an eBook for use as a reference source.

This is first in a series of such eBooks.

I have uploaded this eBook as a "Zip" file, which contains the (.exe) file of this 67 flipping page eBook.

An area of recent interest has caused me to pen this (.exe) 62 flipping page eBooklet for your consideration and use.

It is a freebie and like the others This offer it has a unique onboard search feature to assist in locating things of interest within the eBooklet.

Using the Root Cause Analysis and following the DMAIC process, employing the appropriate tools, will guide the Root Cause Analysis investigation team into the discovery of the root causes and significant contributing causes of a defect incident or accident the team has under study.

This is a .exe 60 flipping pages eBooklet.  It addresses what others claim -- that “training is never the root cause of failed performances or behaviors of individuals.”

Some of those involved in these discussion have claimed that perhaps these people issues could be contributors of these failures, but seems ultimately they too join in with the “training is not a root cause” crowd.

I would submit that many people seem to think Six Sigma, Lean, CIP, Kazan, and other types of quality improvement processes can and do fix all our ill’s – including those involving failures to perform or behave in the prescribed manners or desired performance arenas.

It is my belief this type of thinking is a major failing in our own training and is akin to Dr.  Juran’s statement, “When the only tool you have is a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail.”

"How do we use Control Charts for Traditional Project Management Execution and Monitoring?"

The 36 page .exe flipping paged eBooklet is an attempt to answer that question.

I hope you find this eBooklet informative, a value add to your knowledge bank, and a wonderful reference to add to your growing collection of materials.

This is a 26 page .exe flipping page eBooklet.

A Six Sigma initiative begins with the active involvement of the organizations Executive Management and Champion Team members. This team develops strategic plans based on the Voice of the Customer and balanced score card which includes: financial, customer’s critical criteria, understanding processes and planning organizational growth.

Six Sigma is implemented on a project-by-project basis; led by one or more Black or Green Belt Project Managers. Within each phase of the DMAIC there are specific tools and techniques that can be applied.  Some have application in multiple areas and some are very specific.

These problems likely are universal, often plaguing most leaders. I pen this article and share methods one might use towards implementing an intervention and performance behavioral change process.
