Hi all: Back Bay Lisa now has a youtube channel.
Peg's May talk on "Project Management and IT" is available there at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vL4vqC-wQc The talk for June is titled "Lay Waste to Waste". Waste is part of every process. As with entropy, waste increases unless steps are taken to reduce it. In many processes the waste is as high as 85% of the process. This talk will cover the basic ideas and some background behind Lean and 6 Sigma (LSS), discuss their origins and then walk through some examples while introducing the tools and techniques. Plus you get to test the speaker by bringing your own problems and (hopefully) leave with some ideas on how to tackle resolving the problem. John Rouillard has been a system administrator trying to fix practices for more decades than he cares to remember. His interest in formal problem solving techniques developed by watching solutions that didn't really solve problems but merely added more problems while allowing the original issue to generate even more failures. The talk will happen this evening, Wednesday, June 11, 2014 at 7PM in MIT E-51, Room 149. For those of you unable to attend in person, please join the GoToMeeting at: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/696243693 Meeting ID 696-243-693 Also, we will be recording it for later upload to you tube as well. (Thanks to Josh Boon for setting this up.) Agenda: 7:00 - Announcements & Introductions 7:25 door prizes (on if you are there in person I'm afraid). 7:30 - Formal presentation MIT E-51, Room 149 Hope to see you there. -- -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
