(Note: if using your own personal experience it must be on a formal lean six sigma implementation in a company where you know or can research the specific events, decisions and investments made by leadership. This may mean that your experience was from the initial implementation and not working projects. )

Describe what happened. How did the key decision-makers use Lean Six Sigma tools to achieve successthat is, improve value and decrease costs? Identify the specific events, decisions, or investments they made in order to leverage operations (or Lean Six Sigma) as a competitive weapon. Now, based on your own personal experienceor on the results of an Internet searchidentify a Lean Six Sigma horror story. Describe what happened. More importantly, describe what went wrong with the implementation (we are not talking about LSS project failure). Assess how key decision-makers failed to appropriately use Lean Six Sigma tools. As a consultant to the company, how would you help them fix the implementation process to achieve success next time? What specific events, decisions, or investments would you promote to help them leverage operations (or Lean Six Sigma) to improve value and reduce costs?
