Lean Six Sigma is a framework and methodology that combines the principles of lean manufacturing and Six Sigma to improve the performance and quality of business processes. Lean Six Sigma aims to eliminate waste, reduce defects, and enhance customer satisfaction. Lean Six Sigma follows a five-phase approach known as DMAIC: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control.
– Define: Identify the problem, the customer requirements, and the project goals.
– Measure: Collect data on the current process and its performance.
– Analyze: Identify the root causes of defects and waste in the process.
– Improve: Implement solutions to eliminate or reduce the root causes.
– Control: Monitor and sustain the improved process and prevent regression.
Lean Six Sigma is widely used in various industries and sectors, such as manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and IT. Lean Six Sigma can help organizations achieve operational excellence, customer loyalty, and competitive advantage.
