What is Lean Six Sigma?
Basics of Lean Six Sigma
 Increased revenue, reduced costs, and improved
collaboration
 Lean and Six Sigma complement each other
 Lean accelerates Six Sigma
 Comprehensive tool set to increase the speed and
effectiveness of any process
Why Lean Six Sigma?
Helping the organization make more
money by improving customer value
and efficiency
Focusing on improving quality by
helping the organization to produce
products or services better, faster and
cheaper
What is Lean?
Activity Process Value
Added
 Activity must transform the product/service
 Customer must be willing to pay for it
 It must be done correctly first time
Lean or Lean management is a business
approach for maximizing customer value while
minimizing waste.
There are 8 types of waste (DOWNTIME)
Defects Overproduction Waiting
Non-utilized Talent Transportation Inventory
Motion Extra Processing
What is Six Sigma?
SIX SIGMA helps in:
 Reduces the amount of defective products or services
provided
 Results in increased revenue
 Results in greater customer satisfaction
Set of techniques and tools for Process Improvement  Sigma (σ) is a statistical concept that represents how much
variation there is in a process relative to customer
specifications – S or “SD”.
 Sigma Value is based on “defects per million opportunities”
(DPMO).
 Six Sigma (6σ) is equivalent to 3.4 DPMO. The variation in
the process is so small that the resulting products and
services are 99.99966% defect free.
Amount of Variation Effect Sigma Value
Too much Hard to produce output within
customer specifications
Low (0 – 2)
Moderate Most output meets customer
specifications
Middle (3 – 5)
Very little Virtually all output meets
customer specifications

5 233 99.98%
6 3.4 99.99966%
Defects is the number of defects found in a
sample, so it's 11
Units - for this example, it's 10,000 pairs of
jeans
Defect opportunities - the number of defects
opportunities per unit, so in our case, it's 5.
As each jeans can have 5 defects
opportunities

Thank a lot
DMAIC
Define Define the problem statement
Map the current process, gather data, identify and
understands the root cause of the problem
Measure
Analyze Analyze the data & the process to reduce the defect
& wastes of the existing process
Improve Work on the defects by using the improvement ideas
Control Document how the process improvements will be
passed on
Appendix
DMADV
Define Project goals & deliverables are defined
Measure the factors that are critical to its deliverable
Measure
Analyze Analyze different process options that will best meet
the required deliverables
Design Document the detailed process that meets the
deliverables
Verify Verify that the goals & deliverables are achieved
through the newly designed process
•Examples:
• Very detailed documentation
• Extra management/planning activities
•How to reduce?
• Minimize extra activities
• Plan as per requirement
WASTE 4: Task Switching -
Every time a person shuffles between tasks, there is a
significant time that is required to gather the information,
thoughts, and get into the new task. According to research, it
takes a minimum of 15 minutes of concentration to enter flow,
and during this time, you are not productive. Imagine - if a
developer is interrupted two times a day, over half an hour of
work is lost.
•Example:
•One person working on two projects
•Developer interrupted for breaks for conversations over other
projects.
•How to reduce?
•Minimize shuffling and assign resources to one project at a
time
•Eliminate what is not important
•Minimize interruptions
•Prioritize the activities
