More about Lean Six Sigma
Description of Lean Six Sigma
Lean Six Sigma is an effective methodology used to fix a problem. It is based on common sense practices and is completed in five phases, known by the acronym DMAIC:
Define: Define the problem
Measure: Accurately measure how acute the problem is.
Analyze: Identify the source of the problem.
Improve: Implement a solution and verify that the solution works.
Control: Maintain and continue the solution to achieve the desired result.
Lean Six Sigma can decrease an organization’s production costs by eliminating wasteful processes and solving problems associated with a process, such as product defects or service flaws. Lean Six Sigma can also positively affect employees by involving them in improving the way they work. Because they are the people who actually perform the work in an organization, they are very often the most qualified to suggest and implement efficient and effective new processes.
Lean Six Sigma also requires a long-term commitment in order to be a successful project management method. When looked at as a process, the organization can continually improve upon subsequent projects, resulting in higher efficiency and more cost savings down the road.
