What is Lean Six Sigma? 
1)Lean Manufacturing focusses on reducing waste, Non-Value Add activity and “Speeding” up the Process cycle Times. 
1)Six Sigma is defined as 3.4 DPM (Defective Parts- per Million), focusses on reducing defects and process variation 
2)Lean Six Sigma = Six Sigma “Quality”+ Lean “Speed" 
2
Lean Six Sigma Seeks to improve the quality of manufacturing and business process by: 
identifying and removing the causes of defects (errors) and variation. 
Identifying and removing sources of waste within the process 
Focusing on outputs that are critical to customers

σUse data-driven, measurement-based, statistical methods to Solve problems, improve performance 
σFocus: Surgical “inch-wide, mile-deep” investigation and resolution 
σApproach: 
σSolve problems at the system and root cause level 
σImplement robust control plans for sustained improvements 
What is “Six Sigma”? An Analytical Methodology that Focuses on Reducing Process Variation

The systematic elimination of waste and re- alignment of resources to deliver value to the customer faster, better, & more consistently 
Lean in Manufacturing: 
◦Focus: Eliminate waste, non-value add steps, process constraints and bottle necks that cause problems in work throughput 
◦Approach: Intuitive and broad - “inch-deep, mile wide”

•To help explain the Toyota Production System to employees and suppliers, the “House of Toyota” graphic was created by Taiichi Ohno and Eiji Toyoda. 
•They chose the house shape because it was a familiar one – and also conveyed stability. 
•The roof contains the primary goals of TPS: superior quality, cost and delivery through waste elimination
Value Added 
Typically 95% of all lead time is non-value added 
1.Overproduction 
2.Waiting 
3.Transportation 
4.Non-Value Added Processing 
5.Excess Inventory/Material 
6.Defects 
7.Excess Motion 
8.Underutilized People 
Non-Value Added 
5%
Value Added Any activity that is adding value to the part and the customer is paying for. Example: any process where you are doing something to the part (cutting, welding, riveting, bending) Non-Value Added Any activity that does not add Value to the part. Example: moving parts from one area to another, reworking parts, set-up/change- overs, repairs
9 
Single Piece Flow 
Just-In-Time 
Eliminate Waste 
•Process parts one-at-a- time or in small lots instead of in large batches or economies of scale 
•Quick changeovers 
•Balanced and continuous flows instead of stop and start processing 
•Have just the right amount of inventory you need, when you need it, where you need it 
•Optimize the amount of inventory required 
•Ensure that your resources are ready to support the flow 
•Never knowingly pass on a defect 
•Improve the capability of your processes 
•Fix failure modes when they occur 
•Determine and resolve the deeper root causes

Risk & Reward 
Continuous Improvement 
•Everyday culture of change in how and what we do 
•Focus on maintaining & improving process precision, accuracy and discipline 
•Often savings are not strictly monitored but just put back into the business 
•Can support & narrow Breakthrough Innov. 
Amount of Resources and Activity 
Incremental Innovation 
•Relatively small improvements that are faster, better cheaper, 
•Savings show up in bottom & top line 
Distinctive Innovation 
•Significant advances and improvements by extending existing technologies/approaches 
•Adapting “other industry/sector technologies/approaches 
•Example: “Lean”/JIT/Single-piece- flow/Pull Systems in health care 
Breakthrough & Disruptive Innovation 
•Fundamentally new technologies/approaches 
•Implementing things previously thought to be not possible 
•Often a birthplace of Distinctive & Incremental Innovation 
•Can fuel and clash with Conti. Impr. and process discipline
