Recent Quality Discussions
Books for Executive Management
What would be a good book to give to executive management regarding the benefits of deploying a Six Sigma program in an organization? I want my execs to have a high level 'here are the benefits' book. I don't want them to get a technical version of what Six Sigma can do for them.

Building a Strategy
Recently, I've been tasked with putting a lot of attention from a quality perspective on a new(ish) process at my organization that I am completely unfamiliar of in detail. I have some pre-made process maps, but that's about it. I have planned to break the process into smaller sub-processes and then seek to understand the inner workings of them.
"Do any of you have any useful templates/approaches to starting process observation that could help ease the complexity, while still gaining sound process information?

One-piece Flow vs. Differing Batch Sizes
I'm working in a property company looking into the finance processes. The team is suffering heavy backlogs in processing rental statements. They currently work in huge batches, pushing work into the process which then sits around waiting to carry on through.
"I'm running a pilot next week following my data collection on the current process. I have been able to balance the process steps as best possible so I am piloting a 'one-piece flow' approach, but I have a few questions: Is one-piece flow always the answer, or should I try differing batch sizes? Is there anything else I need to consider?

Preparing for a Presentation
Does anyone have an example of PowerPoint presentation called GE four blocker? I think it's a one-page presentation divided into four quadrants. If suitable, I would like to use it for my project update for senior leaders.
