Lean Six Sigma = Lean + 6 Sigma | Most of the businesses are expecting to improve operational efficiency, that will trigger an improvement in the quality of the product, and while reducing overall costs. But the question is how to improve operational efficiency?
There are actually two approaches to improving operational efficiency, the first is the typical approach, and second is the lean six sigma.
(1) Here we have motive to improving operational efficiency that encourage Improving the quality of products (services), while reducing overall costs.
(2) Quality of products (services) – Assessment by the consumer of the degree of compliance of the set of inherent characteristics with the purpose of the product (service).
(3) Total costs – The costs which are necessary for production consist of the sum of variable costs and fixed costs necessary for a certain volume of output.
What is Lean Six Sigma?
Lean Six Sigma = Lean + 6 Sigma is not just a combination of two disparate methods, but a combination of complementary technologies. Combining a clear Six Sigma improvement methodology, containing a well-thought-out infrastructure for implementing improvements throughout the company and powerful analysis tools with the widest set of Lean manufacturing tools to effectively reduce lead times and inventory.
Lean Six Sigma is a new method that successfully combines the best achievements of the Japanese and Western schools of management. Which has a synergistic effect, which makes it a more than competitive approach to management at present. The Lean Six Sigma methodology is suitable not only for production, but It is also effective for improving the quality and speed of all kinds of processes, including sales and marketing, new product development, financial, administrative, human resource management, and many others.
Contribution Six Sigma:
Tied to the company’s Interests, customer-centric Value Stream Analysis (Creating a Continuous Flow That Effectively Adds Value).
Using universal process-wide criteria methods to maximize process speed (Minimize Time When Work in Progress Is Idle).
Creating a Sustainable Process Improvement Infrastructure.
Principle “pulling” (the desire to meet the needs of the consumer just in time and in the right amount, while at the same time avoiding the accumulation of surplus products). Due to which the results are achieved.
PDCA Cycle:
Plan what you would like to achieve. In fact, create a set of changes (goals and decisions) necessary to achieve the set goals. Once you have completed the planned plan, you need to examine the results.
Did you get the results you expected? Did you get a different result? What happened? If things aren’t going as they were, why? Can we do even better? Do you need to do something different or keep moving on? Act In this step, you can act based on the results.
If the change was successful, implement it. If it didn’t work out the way you’d like, or needs further refinement, you can refine the changes, or start from the beginning, but this time with new knowledge.
How are the results achieved?
What are we trying to accomplish improvement model? How will we know that a change is an improvement? What change can we make that will result in improvement? Model for Improvement, Act, Plan, Study,
Think about three fundamental questions for Measurement Objectives Ideas:
- What are you trying to achieve?
- How will you know that an improvement has occurred?
- What changes can be made to achieve improvement?
Stages
- Activities Initiate
- Change Identification of the problem and direction of improvement.
- Formation of goals, boundaries, and risks of the project Identification of sponsors and project teams.
- Calculation of the expected economic impact of the project.
- Preliminary fixation of the time frame of the stages and the project
- Understand Collection of historical data on the parameters of the process
- Diagnosis of possible causes of the problem
- Prioritization of problems, determination of the focus direction of changes
- Development Develop Development of solutions to ensure the required changes Search and analysis of existing solutions Identification of a priority solution for testing.
- Test Testing of solutions (Test) Forecasting / modeling of test results
- Analysis of test results
- Decision-making decision to change the process Implementation of process changes on an ongoing basis.
- Establishment of constant monitoring of key
- Create process Indicators.
- Provide training of personnel in a new process
- Make the subsequent tuning of the process.
