The fusion of Lean and Six Sigma improvement methods is required because:Lean cannot bring a process under statistical control.Six Sigma alone cannot dramatically improve process speed or reduce invested capital. Both enable the reduction of the cost of complexity.More :Lean:• Focuses on maximizing process speed• Analyzes process flow and delay times for each activity in a process • Eliminates the root causes of “non-value added” activities and their cost• Provides a means for quantifying and eliminating the cost of complexitySix Sigma:• Eliminates defects, as defined by customers, using statistical methods• Identifies variability in manufacturing and removes the cause(s)• Uses data driven decisions and quality tools for effective problem solving• Provides a rigid cultural infrastructure effective in obtaining sustainable results• Utilizes teams of experts to take control of problems and implement solutions.*[Lean enthusiasts note that Six Sigma pays little attention to anything related to speed and flow, while Six Sigma supporters point out that Lean fails to address key concepts like customer needs and variation. Both sides are right. Yet, these arguments are more often used to advocate choosing one over the other, rather than to support the more logical conclusion to blend Lean and Six Sigma.]... Show More
