What is Lean Thinking and Six Sigma?

“Lean thinking is a business methodology that aims to provide a new way to think about how to organize human activities to deliver more benefits to society and value to individuals while eliminating waste”

“Simply, lean means creating more value for customers with fewer resources. A lean organization understands customer value and focuses its key processes to continuously increase it. The ultimate goal is to provide perfect value to the customer through a perfect value creation process that has zero waste”

“Six Sigma is a set of techniques and tools for process improvement. It was introduced by engineers Bill Smith & Mikel J Harry while working at Motorola in 1986. Jack Welch made it central to his business strategy at General Electric in 1995”

Why is this online Lean Process and Six Sigma training course essential?

Lean is a systematic approach to reduce or eliminate activities that don’t add value to the process. It emphasises removing wasteful steps in a process and taking the only value-added steps. The Lean method ensures high quality and customer satisfaction.

It helps in

• reducing process cycle time,
• improving product or service delivery time,
• reducing or eliminating the chance of defect generation,
• reducing the inventory levels and
• optimising resources for key improvements, among others.

It is a never-ending approach to waste removal, thus promotes a continuous chain of improvements.

Six Sigma is a data-driven problem-solving methodology. The focus is on process variations and emphasis is given to customer satisfaction. Continuous process improvement with low defects is the goal of this method.

Six Sigma aims to make a process effective with – 99.99996 % defect-free. This means a six sigma process produces in 3.4 defects per million opportunities or less as a result.

Six Sigma is a structured problem-solving methodology. Problem-solving in Six Sigma is done using the DMAIC framework. There are five stages in this framework. They are

• Define,
• Measure,
• Analyse,
• Improve,
• Control.
