The Lean Six Sigma

 

Improve Quality, Cut Costs and Increase Speed with Lean Six Sigma!

But HOW!!!!!!

Here are the answers for it....

Lean Six Sigma is a synergized managerial concept of Lean and Six Sigma that results in the elimination of the seven kinds of wastes/muda (classified as Transportation, Inventory, Motion, Waiting, Overproduction, Over-Processing, and Defects, ) and provision of goods and service at a rate of 3.4 defects per million opportunities (DPMO) . A mnemonic for the wastes is "TIMWOOD".

Also defined,

Lean is a process to identify and eliminate sources of waste and activities that do not add value to create maximum productivity.

Leaders in today's organizations are turning to the Six Sigma Lean Green and Black Belt training to ensure their competitive edge, improve service and build the skill base needed to sustain performance improvement.

Program Benefits

• Execute better: Lean Six Sigma links strategic plans to operational improvements to create efficiencies for your business.
• Build customer loyalty: Lean Six Sigma helps you target your customer needs, so you can improve the things that matter most to your customers.
• Create greater returns by lowering operating costs and delivering products and services quicker and with higher customer satisfaction through operational excellence.

The Define-Measure-Analyze-Control is the heart of Lean Six Sigma and is known as the DMAIC Process.

WHAT IS Lean?
As stated above, Lean is an approach to organizational improvement that focuses on process speed and efficiency. It does this by a relentless search for all kinds of waste in the functions the organization performs. This waste is generally identified as non-value-add tasks, process steps, review cycles, reporting requirements and personnel practices that distract and take away from the absolutely essential functions the organization must perform. By identifying and eliminating these non-value-add activities, the organization decreases costs and shortens the time required to deliver goods and services to its customers (either customers in the traditional commercial sense of the word or citizens under the authority of a government entity).

Lean was developed in manufacturing environments and was made famous by Toyota Motor Company. It even came to be known as the Toyota Production System. Despite the quality issues Toyota is encountering today, Lean enabled Toyota to rise from a relatively small company in the 1960’s to one of the largest automotive manufacturing enterprises in the world today. 

What  is  Six  Sigma?
It is a way to reduce defects in product and service. The Greek letter sigma is sometimes used to denote variation from a standard.

The philosophy behind Six Sigma is that if you measure how many defects are in a process, you can figure out how to systematically eliminate them and get as close to perfection as possible.

There are two Six Sigma processes: Six Sigma DMAIC and Six Sigma DMADV, each term derived from the major steps in the process. Six Sigma DMAIC is a process that defines, measures, analyzes, improves, and controls existing processes that fall below the Six Sigma specification. Six Sigma DMADV defines, measures, analyzes, designs, and verifies new processes or products that are trying to achieve Six Sigma quality. All Six Sigma processes are executed by Six Sigma Green Belts or Six Sigma Black Belts, which are then overseen by a Six Sigma Master Black Belts, terms created by Motorola.
Six Sigma proponents claim that its benefits include up to 50% process cost reduction, cycle-time improvement, less waste of materials, a better understanding of customer requirements, increased customer satisfaction, and more reliable products and services.

So you’ve heard of Six Sigma  and always wondered what all the fuss was about. Bottom line... it is a business process that allows companies to drastically improve their profitability. How does it manage to achieve this? Well the concept is simple.

Your Company + Better Processes = $$$$
