Hello all,

I'm working for a Material science based company. We produce different types of product starts from Abrasive wheels, Refractory bricks, ceramics, Anti corrosive chemicals, Fiber reinforced Plastic products. Most of our process will be semi automatic. My key function is manufacturing. But my field is wide with technical and sales also. Recently done with my GB Certification held at jan'12, Chennai. I was eager to start with a project and asked my boss for a topic. But he wants to be do small project by applying base tools and then to get a big project (derived from balanced scorecard) . Now my doubt is.

1) what project shall i take? on what basis should i select? Criteria's for GB projects? Give me some base ideas.

2) If the project was derived from balanced scorecard, could GB can take lead without any BB and MBB in a team. because none of my colleagues are done with BB and MBB ?

Please do help me in this.

Cheers

Dear Anantha,

1) what project shall i take? on what basis should i select? Criteria's for GB projects? Give me some base ideas.

It seems your boss wants you to take up a low risk project initially. Look for a project where you can make use of basic tools like fishbone analysis, pareto analysis, graphical techniques, or mistake proofing. Do not worry if it does not qualify to be a Green Belt project. Get some tools practice. A green Belt project is one where causes and solutions are unknown. Take up such a project when your boss is ready to support.

2) If the project was derived from balanced scorecard, could GB can take lead without any BB and MBB in a team. because none of my colleagues are done with BB and MBB ?

Yes, this is possible. You need to make sure that the project does not become a high scope cross-functional project of "boil the ocean" kind. You can take guidance from Benchmark.

Hope this answers your queries.
