Lean Six Sigma
What is lean six Sigma
Lean Six Sigma is a tool that significantly improves customer satisfaction and shareholder value by reducing waste, time and variability in every aspect of your business. By following a structured approach, Lean Six Sigma helps in better understanding the customers' needs and wants from their point of view, be able to build and/or modify processes and products to meet or exceed their expectations.
Lean Six Sigma uses a methodology to improve business processes by utilising statistical analysis rather than guesswork. The Six Sigma methodology is defined by DMAIC steps. DMAIC is the acronym for Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control.
This proven approach has been implemented within a myriad of industries to achieve hard and soft money savings, while increasing customer satisfaction.
Why is it important?
Lean Six Sigma improvement projects typically return between $150-250k per project. However, the reason for instituting consumer oriented Lean Six Sigma goes beyond just the dollars. Some of the projects undertaken for Lean Six Sigma change the very dynamics of the ways things get done and provide a significant competitive boost to the company or product.raph.

What does it mean?
While most companies operate at 3-sigma level or 66807 defects per million - achieving Lean Six Sigma means a failure rate of only 3.4 parts per million or 99.9997% perfect. The term 6-sigma, in practice, is used to denote more than simply counting defects Lean Six Sigma can now imply a whole culture of strategies, tools, and statistical methodologies to improve the bottom line of companies.
A change in quality levels from 3-sigma to 6-sigma results in nearly a 20,000-fold reduction in defects. Lean Six Sigma is a rigorous analytical process for anticipating and solving problems. Solving problems, improve revenues and profits through defect reduction, improved consumer satisfaction and best-in-class product and process performance.
Anticipating problems comes from listening to the consumer insights and devising plans to meet or exceed their needs. As new products get introduced, wants become needs and the consumer "needs" set keeps on growing, we need to maintain flexibility and meet the consumer demands head-on.
This is the essence of consumer-driven Lean Six Sigma process.
