What is Lean Six Sigma?

In Today’s dynamic marketplace, customers are demanding higher quality, faster service, and lower prices, while shareholders are expecting larger profits. How do you effectively secure your organization’s long-term competitive advantage? VRI’s Lean Six Sigma program will teach you how to implement both Lean and Six Sigma to streamline your business processes, enhance your customer service, and improve your bottom line.

Just how does Lean Six Sigma maximize shareholder value? By achieving the fastest rate of improvement in customer satisfaction, quality, process speed, and invested capital in both manufacturing and transactional processes. Lean Six Sigma combines the speed and agility of Lean with the statistical predictability of Six Sigma to create solutions for better business practices and dramatic bottom line results.

These two systems complement and strengthen each other: Lean is easy to implement and produces fast results, reducing the time from your customer request to the delivery of your product/service and eliminating non-value added steps in any work process. Six Sigma concentrates on more complex issues, using statistical tools to reduce variability in product or service quality, thereby reducing costs. Combining the two approaches produces powerful, long-lasting change.

Lean Six Sigma uses the DMAIC roadmap to reduce the 7 Hidden Wastes:

Defects / Rework
Waiting / Delays
Motion
Transportation
Over Processing / Over Design
Overproduction
Inventory

Eliminating these wastes provides a focus on cycle time reduction, inventory reduction and reduction of floor space producing overall financial benefits.
