7.1: Lean Six Sigma

Centrally manage and sustain the deployment of Lean Six Sigma as a tool for continuous improvement.

Other Information:

The Agency supports the DoD Continuous Process Improvement Program through the implementation of Lean Six Sigma and will use this methodology to eliminate redundancy and variation in core processes. The initiative will increase overall productivity and improve support to combatant commanders and senior decision makers. Also, DIA will use established key performance indicators (KPI) to enable senior leaders to make data-driven decisions aligned with Agency strategic goals and objectives. These measures will improve the ability of DIA leadership to manage performance, execute critical initiatives and resource decisions, and enforce overall process owner accountability. DIA will: • Manage the deployment of Lean Six Sigma as a change agent for performance excellence through training, performance evaluation, metric validation and project selection. • Implement, refine, and manage KPIs to accurately measure DIA core processes using the DIA Performance Dashboard. • Coordinate, manage, and track critical KPIs across directorates as a platform for performance improvement, project selection, and input to the DIA Performance Plan.
