LEARN MORE ABOUT LEAN SIX SIGMA + CREATIVE THINKING

Lean Six Sigma is a method that relies on a collaborative team effort to improve performance by systematically removing waste and reducing variation. It combines lean manufacturing/lean enterprise and Six Sigma to eliminate the eight kinds of waste, known as ‘muda’:

· Defects

· Over-Production

· Waiting

· Non-Utilized Talent

· Transportation

· Inventory

· Motion

· Extra-Processing

Lean Six Sigma not only reduces process defects and waste, but also provides a framework for overall organizational culture change.

Lean Six Sigma is a synergized managerial concept of Lean and Six Sigma. Lean traditionally focuses on the elimination of the eight kinds of waste/muda classified as defects, over-production, waiting, non-utilized talent, transportation, inventory, motion and extra-processing. Six Sigma seeks to improve the quality of process outputs by identifying and removing the causes of defects (errors) and minimizing variability in (manufacturing and business) processes. Synergistically, Lean aims to achieve continuous flow by tightening the linkages between process steps while Six Sigma focuses on reducing process variation (in all its forms) for the process steps thereby enabling a tightening of those linkages. In short, Lean exposes sources of process variation and Six Sigma aims to reduce that variation enabling a virtuous cycle of iterative improvements towards the goal of continuous flow.

Lean Six Sigma uses the DMAIC phases similar to that of Six Sigma. Lean Six Sigma projects comprise aspects of Lean's waste elimination and the Six Sigma focus on reducing defects, based on critical to quality characteristics. The DMAIC toolkit of Lean Six Sigma comprises all the Lean and Six Sigma tools. The training for Lean Six Sigma is provided through the belt based training system similar to that of Six Sigma. The belt personnel are designated as white belts, yellow belts, green belts, black belts and master black belts, similar to judo.

Lean Six Sigma Organization Structure

For each of these belt levels skill sets are available that describe which of the overall Lean Six Sigma tools are expected to be part at a certain Belt level. These skill sets provide a detailed description of the learning elements that a participant will have acquired after completing a training program. The level upon which these learning elements may be applied is also described. The skill sets reflect elements from Six Sigma, Lean and other process improvement methods like the theory of constraints (TOC) total productive maintenance (TPM).

How Lean and Six Sigma Come Together

Lean six sigma organizes lean and six sigma to cut production costs, improve quality, speed up, stay competitive, and save money. From six sigma they gain the reduced variation on parts. Also, lean focuses on saving money for the company by focusing on the types of waste and how to reduce the waste. The two coming into lean six sigma to better each other creating a well-balanced and organized solution to save money and produce better parts consistently.

BENEFITS OF LEAN SIX SIGMA FOR A BUSINESS

Lean Six Sigma Increases Profit By:

· Lean Six Sigma increases your organization’s profit by streamlining processes.

· Streamlined processes result in products or services that are completed faster and more efficiently at no cost to quality.

· Simply put, Lean Six Sigma increases revenue by enabling your organization to do more with less – Sell, manufacture and provide more products or services using less resources.

Lean Six Sigma Decreases Your Organization’s Costs By:

· Removing “Waste” from a process. Waste is any activity within a process that isn’t required to manufacture a product or provide a service that is up to specification.

· Solving problems caused by a process. Problems are defects in a product or service that cost your organization money.

· Basically, Lean Six Sigma enables you to fix processes that cost your organization valuable resources.

Lean Six Sigma Improves The Efficiency of Your Organization By:

· Maximizing your organization’s efforts toward delivering a satisfactory* product or service to your customers

· Allowing your organization to allocate resources/revenue produced from your newly improved processes towards growing your business

· Involving employees in the improvement process. This promotes active participation and results in an engaged, accountable team.

· Building trust. Transparency throughout all levels of the organization promotes a shared understanding of how each person is important to the organization’s success.

· Basically, Lean Six Sigma develops a sense of ownership and accountability for your employees. This increases their effectiveness at delivering results for any improvement project they are involved in.

Quite often, this benefit is overlooked by organizations who implement Lean Six Sigma, but it’s underlying advantages dramatically increase the chances of continued success of Lean Six Sigma, and your business.
