• “The longer an article is in the process of
manufacture and the more it is moved
about, the greater the ultimate cost.”
• Henry Ford

Lean Six Sigma
• Lean tools and techniques are used to
standardize work and remove waste and
non value-added activities
• Six Sigma tools and techniques are used
to attack the variation present in
processes
Trang 4Lean Six Sigma
• Lean Benefits:
– Reduced cycle times
– Lower handling costs
– Faster lead times
– Decreased floor space usage
– Lower inventory with greater inventory turns
– Improved customer responsiveness and service – improved quality

Lean Six Sigma
• Lean thinking is a mindset best described
as a relentless war on waste
Trang 6Lean Methodology
• Lean seeks to eliminate seven sources of
waste:
– Overproduction
– Idle time waste (waiting time/queue time)
– Delivery waste (transport/conveyance waste)
– Waste in the work itself
– Inventory waste
– Wasted operator motions

Lean Methodology
• Lean thinking generates process
improvement by following five key
steps:
– 1 Study the process by directly
observing the work activities, their
connections and flow.
– 2 Study the process to systematically
eliminate wasteful activities, their
connections and flow.
Trang 8Lean Methodology
• Lean thinking generates process
improvement by following five key
steps:
– 3 Establish agreement among those affected
by the process in terms of what the process
needs to accomplish and how the process will accomplish it.
– 4 Attack and solve problems using a
systematic method.
– 5 Integrate the above approach throughout
the organization

Trang 12Six Sigma Origins
• Bill Smith, Reliability Engineer, Motorola
Corporation
– The increasing complexity of systems and
products used by consumers created
higher than desired system failure rates.
– Holistic approach to reliability and quality
and developed a strategy for improving
both (1988).

Trang 24Six Sigma
• An improvement of just 1 sigma can result
in a ten-fold reduction in the number of
defects
– At three sigma, 66,800 defects per million
costing $10/piece to fix = $668,000
– At four sigma, 6,210 defects per million
costing $10/piece to fix = $62,100

Six Sigma Projects
• Six Sigma projects are selected based on
their ability to contribute to and enhance
an organization’s financial performance
Trang 26Six Sigma Projects
• Six Sigma projects seek out sources of
waste (overtime, warranty claims,
production backlogs, customer issues).

Six Sigma Methodology
• In order to successfully adopt the Six Sigma
methodology, an organization must have:
– Visible management commitment
– Visible management involvement
– Clear definition of customer requirements
– Understanding of key business processes
– Sound measures of performance
– Discipline
– Rewards
Trang 32Six Sigma
• A point to consider:
– Six Sigma focuses on defects while other
quality improvement methodologies
emphasize non-conformances
• A subtle, yet important distinction, especially in the legal sense.
