LEAN & Six Sigma
Since the time Motorola rolled out the Six Sigma system in 1987 and which was eventually adopted by GE in the 1990s, it has evolved from not just being a way of improving operational quality, but also financial performance. Until recently, organizations practicing six sigma, have begun integrating lean with six sigma to harness the combined benefits of both to achieve comprehensive improvement.
Lean helps to achieve simplicity, while six sigma helps to manage complexity. Comprehensive improvements are derived from both waste elimination and variation reductions, so as to become more accurate, precise and calibrated in whatever we do.
In an era where the leveling effects of globalization and IT have enabled organizations around the world to compete successfully, Lean Six Sigma helps organizations compete in the future or face extinction. It is an enabler for improvements in all areas: quality, cost, productivity, customer satisfaction, etc. Lean Six Sigma can help produce fantastic results by delivering total productivity improvements. Use it to increase throughout, and decrease cost.
