We are about to launch a series of transformation events using Lean-Sigma. The end-to-end process covers 8 major sub-processes and these cross three major business units with three General Managers. Additionally, there are a number of suppliers into the process and a distribution company that we sub-contract for the delivery and collection of product into and out of the process.
Does anyone have any thoughts and recommendqations on which part of the process we should start with?
Thanks

It’s not a miracle. Just apply the Six Sigma knoweldge you have as a Black Belt and you will find the best approach.
Take a process that is relevant for your internal and external Customer. Yep, you always should know your Customers’ requirements.
Four Selection Critieria (data is always helpful!):
* Process Sponsor who is committed to process improvement
* Process with a significant amount of cost and ressources on it
* Process that will be relevant for your organisation in future
* Process where the external customer will feel the difference
Does this help?!
