This document provides an overview of Lean Six Sigma and compares it to Lean and Six Sigma methodologies. It defines Lean Six Sigma as an approach that combines Lean manufacturing/Lean enterprise tools and Six Sigma tools to eliminate waste and reduce variation. It describes the DMAIC process used in Six Sigma and the Lean methodology of defining value streams. Key differences between Lean and Six Sigma are highlighted, such as Lean focusing on efficiency and reducing cycle time/inventory while Six Sigma focuses on effectiveness and reducing defects/variation. The document recommends starting with Lean projects to streamline processes before tackling more complex Six Sigma projects to eliminate chronic problems.

2. DEFINITION OF LEAN SIX SIGMA
• Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that relies on
a collaborative team effort to improve
performance by systematically removing
waste; combining lean manufacturing/lean
enterprise and Six Sigma to eliminate the eight
kinds of waste (muda): Time, Inventory,
Motion, Waiting, Over production, Over
processing, Defects, and Skills (abbreviated as
'TIMWOODS')
3. Learning Objectives
1. Understand DMAIC and Lean Methodologies.
4. Where are Six Sigma and Lean Methodologies used?
3. What are the tools used for Six Sigma and Lean?
2. What are the differences between Six Sigma and
Lean?
4. Y=F (X)
• Lean Six Sigma is about improving what is important or “critical to
the customer and quality (CTQ).” Y is the measurement of the CTQ
that needs to be improved to meet customer needs.
• Once you understand what the Ys are, (those things critical to
customers and quality), measure them and compare them to the
targets. Understand the process characteristics that may cause
variation and then reduce this variation by controlling the process
variables. These process variables are called the Xs.
• There may be many Xs that can affect the Y.
• This simple equation is used to help communicate what a project is
trying to accomplish. If Y is a function of X, then identify the Xs with
enough precision to first improve them and then control them.
Once Xs are maintained, the Y will be met.

13. Why Define a Process as a Value
Stream?
–Focuses attention on what is important for the customer.
–Identifies all the necessary components to bring a product or
service from conception to commercialization.
–Identifies waste inherent in processes and works to remove
it.
–Reduces defects in products and deficiencies in processes.
–Focuses on improving specs and cost.
14. VALUE Vs WASTE
What Is Typically Found
Lean Value Stream Management starts with defining value
in terms of products and process capabilities to provide the
customer with what they need at the right time and at an
appropriate price.

16. Adapted from Taiichi Ohno
The Eight Wastes
1. Overproduction—making or doing more than is required or
earlier than needed.
2. Waiting—for information, materials, people, maintenance, etc.
3. Transport—moving people or goods around or between sites.
4. Poor process design—too many/too few steps, non-
standardization, inspection rather than prevention, etc.
5. Inventory—raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods,
papers, electronic files, etc.
6. Motion—inefficient layouts or poor ergonomics at work-stations or in offices.
7. Defects—errors, scrap, rework, non-conformance.
8. Underutilized personnel resources and creativity—ideas that are not listened to,
skills that are not utilized.

22. Lean Project Attributes
• Simply stated: “Lean is about moving the Mean.” It
focuses on efficiency.
– Lean reduces average cycle time.
– Lean reduces excess inventory.
– Lean improves average response time.

23. Six Sigma Attributes
• Simply stated: “Six Sigma is about Reducing
Variation.” It focuses on Effectiveness. The
mean will most likely also be improved.
– Decrease defect rate
– Increase Process Yield

26. Which Technique to Begin With?
It is often advantageous to begin with Lean
projects.
–These are easier to understand and implement.
Begin with streamlining processes and Rapid
Improvement Events.
–This gets the operation in good order.
–Chronic problems are now easier to deal with.
–“Low Hanging Fruit” is eaten.
Next, select Six Sigma projects
27. Lean Projects
• Use Lean when you are trying to streamline any
process and reduce process waste.
–Improve assembly line throughput
–Reduction in Finished Goods Inventory
–Reduce the time to process new proposals
–Reduce machine setup time
–Improve order processing time
28. Six Sigma Projects
• Use Six Sigma where process metrics are more
difficult to collect or understand, and project
success requires analysis of multiple input factors
(Xs). These are often chronic problems.
–Improve yield on a continuously running machine
–Reduce defects on a processes with multiple inputs and
process settings
–Reduce the amount of wait time for a call center
–Improve the number of quality new hires
29. Mixed Projects
• What happens when you start a Six Sigma Project and it turns into a Lean project?
– It is all about the correct tools.
– Use the Lean tools for project success.
• What happens if a Lean project turns into Six Sigma?
– Depending when this is discovered, it may mean going back to utilize some Six Sigma
tools before proceeding.
