He is the author of over a dozen books[1][7] and a contributing author for multiple publications, including Business Finance Mag,[8] Quality Digest,[9] Quality Magazine,[10] and the Project Management Hut.[11] Since 2003,[12] Breyfogle has written articles for ASQ’s Quality Progress that are about the IEE value chain and 30,000-foot-level reporting.[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]

Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma

Breyfogle was awarded the ASQ Crosby Medal in 2004[25] in recognition of his book, Implementing Six Sigma, 2nd edition, in which he used a "cutting-edge approach to traditional Six Sigma methodologies."[26] Implementing Six Sigma, 2nd edition (along with Integrated Enterprise Excellence: Improvement Project Execution: A Management and Black Belt Guide for Going Beyond Lean Six Sigma and the Balanced Scorecard) is referenced in the Lean Six Sigma Body of Knowledge, and is noted as a source for further information for the Six Sigma Black Belt Certification.[27] Lean & Six Sigma World Organization includes Breyfogle on its list of the top twenty authorities on Lean & Six Sigma.[28]

Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE)

Breyfogle developed a system called Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE)[29] with the three Rs of business in mind – doing the Right things, doing them Right, at the Right Time.[30][31] He has stated that IEE "provides a framework for integrating Business Process Management with Enterprise Process Management."[1] Breyfogle wrote a series of books focused on IEE.[32] In a review of the first book, business management author and analyst Paul Harmon commented that Breyfogle had made a major effort to integrate different process traditions and that he is a leader in doing so at all levels of work.[33] The third book in the series has been described as "an excellent reference book" for Measurement system analysis.[34]
In 2009, Procurement Insights blogger, author, and BlogTalkRadio host Jon Hansen[35] wrote a white paper in which he noted that "Breyfogle’s [IEE] approach represents both an innovative and important breakthrough in business process improvement methodology".[29]
