Lean Six Sigma is a powerful methodology that reduces waste and variation in an organization and ultimately minimizes operating costs, optimizes productivity, and maximizes customer satisfaction. The success stories speak for themselves, but not all LSS stories have a happy ending, and a large body of scholarly research shows why. What is needed now is a set of accessible general guidelines for organizations seeking to implement and sustain such a powerful, but at times perilous, continuous improvement strategy. The Ten Commandments of Lean Six Sigma provides just that, offering guidance from the perspective of practitioners, researchers and academics who have been involved in training, teaching, researching and consulting on various topics of quality and continuous improvement such as Lean, Six Sigma and LSS. Delving into the cutting edge of business process enhancement, this book is an essential and practical guide for senior managers and executives who want to achieve operational and service excellence in manufacturing, service and public sector organizations of any size.

Operational Excellence (OPEX) is all about achieving efficiency and effectiveness in business processes of any organization, despite of the nature of the business and size. There are various OPEX methodologies adopted by world class corporations for the past three decades including: Lean, Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen, and Agile. These methodologies have proved to be very successful in many manufacturing and service companies around the world for over three decades. However, until now, there has been little research on the use of these methodologies in the Higher Education (HE) sector.In Operational Excellence Case Studies in Higher Education Institutions, the chapters bring together a wide range of real-life, global case studies which highlight critical differences in approach due to varied cultural differences and leadership styles.This edited collection offers a practical guide for OPEX facilitators in all HE Institutions for developing, implementing, and deploying OPEX or Continuous Improvement initiatives, and is a great asset to many trainers and consultants who would like to deliver executive courses for senior managers in public sector organisations; in particular HE or University sector.
