…yah but how will Lean Six Sigma do that for me???
Lean Six Sigma
• It is a problem solving methodology to put recurring problems to bed! • It will facilitates communication between people with different backgrounds and from different functions • Allows you to leverage and build on what you already know! • Can be applied in all areas of your life and career • It is built on standard tools and a standard methodology – helps simplify your discussions! • Helps drive focus and prevents gaps in logic • Uses data for sound conclusions • Focuses on fundamentally solving a problem NOT on adding band-aids and additional complexity • Requires team involvement and emphasizes sound communication • Minimizes emotion and conflict and moves to data-driven process-based solutions • It is visible to higher levels of the company • It has been proven successful across many industries, solved countless problems and saved billions of dollars
Focus on creating opportunities vs. resource constraints Copyright 2005, AIT Group Inc. All rights reserved.

Origins of Lean
Lean Six Sigma
• Lean has been around a long time: • Pioneered by Ford in the early 1900’s (33 hrs from iron ore to finished Model T, almost zero inventory but also zero flexibility!) • Perfected by Toyota post WWII (multiple models/colours/options, rapid setups, Kanban, mistake-proofing, almost zero inventory with maximum flexibility!)
• Known by many names: • Toyota Production System • Just-In-Time (JIT) • Continuous Flow
• Outwardly focused on being flexible to meet customer demand, inwardly focused on reducing/eliminating the waste and cost in all processes • Highly applicable to transactional businesses! • Whenever flexibility and speed are key: banks, technology firms and customer service organizations the most recent to adopt Lean practices

The Mathematical Foundation for Lean is Little’s Law
Lean Six Sigma
• To reduce Lead time, you have 2 choices: • Invest dollars of capital in people and equipment to increase Avg. Completion Rate • Invest Intellectual capital to reduce number of “Things In Process” using Lean Tools (Pull Systems, Setup Reduction, etc) and Six Sigma tools (Variation Reduction)
• Little’s Law: Mathematics of Theory of Constraints (TOC) and Toyota Production System (TPS)
No.of " Things In Process" Avg Lead Time = Avg Completion Rate

Sources of Waste
Lean Six Sigma
1. Transportation (moving items from one place to another) 2. Inventory (items/paperwork/information waiting to be processed) 3. Motion (excess movement and/or poor ergonomics) 4. Waiting (delays caused by shortages, approvals, downtime) 5. Overproduction (producing more than is needed) 6. Overprocessing (adding more “value” than the customer is paying for) 7. Defects (rework, scrap, inspection – Costs of poor quality) Another waste is: People (untapped and/or misused resources)

Toyota Production System – Waste Elimination (Applies to Every Process)
Lean Six Sigma
“The ability to eliminate waste is developed by giving up the belief that there is ‘no other way’ to perform a given task. It is useless to say, ‘It has to be done that way,’ or ‘This can’t be helped!’ At Toyota, we have found that there is always another way.” – Study of the Toyota Production System Copyright 2005, AIT Group Inc.

Lean Six Sigma
Lean Defined • What Lean Is: • • • •
An enabler to business strategy A way to remove waste from processes and practices Focused on process speed and flexibility Driven by quick-hit, high-impact team events to solve problems • A way to visualize processes through value-stream mapping • A way to teach people how to “think” about streamlining
• What Lean Is Not: • • • •
A business strategy Only for manufacturing companies About headcount reductions Only about the tools Copyright 2005, AIT Group Inc. All rights reserved.
11
But Lean Alone Has Holes
Lean Six Sigma
• Lacks defined cultural infrastructure • Top leadership engagement • Deployment organization (Champions, Black Belts, etc.) • Sometimes lacks focus on customer
• Lacks a consistent methodology • Most lean efforts lack focus on variation elimination and simply “account for” the variability by carrying excess inventory and resources • Lean tools do not intrinsically focus on bringing a process under statistical control and maintaining that control allowing for unpleasant surprises

Six Sigma History
Lean Six Sigma
• Motorola was the first advocate in the 80’s • Six Sigma Black Belt methodology began in late 80’s/early 90’s • More recently, other companies have embraced Six Sigma:
• GE • Allied Signal • Bombardier • Sony • Project implementers names includes “Black Belts”, “Top Guns”, “Change Agents”, “Trailblazers”, etc. • Implementers are expected to deliver annual benefits between $500,000 and $1,000,000 through 3-5 projects per year • Top-down program with Executive and Champion support • Outwardly focused on Voice of the Customer, inwardly focused on using statistical tools on projects that yield high return on investment

Six Sigma History
Lean Six Sigma
• Nobody at GE gets promoted without Six Sigma training. • GE annual report examples: • 10-fold increase in life of CT scanner x-ray tubes • Improved yields of super-abrasives – worth a full decade of increased capacity despite growing demands • 62% reduction in turn-around time of railcar leasing repairs • Plastics business added 300 million pounds of new capacity – equivalent to “one free plant”

Why 99% Is Not Good Enough
Lean Six Sigma
• The “goodness level” of 99% equates to: • 20,000 lost articles of mail per hour • 5,000 incorrect surgical operations per week • 200,000 wrong drug prescriptions each year • No electricity for almost 7 hours per month

Six Sigma Defined
Lean Six Sigma
• What Six Sigma Is: • An enabler to business strategy • Places customers at the center of performance improvements • Fact-based approach for improving business processes and solving business problems • A proven methodology and toolset supported by deep training and mentoring • Focused on reducing variability of processes • A way to develop highly skilled business leaders • A means for creating capacity in organizations
• What Six Sigma Is Not: • • • • • •
A business strategy A way to develop statisticians and engineers Only for manufacturing companies Only about “cost reductions” A “flavor of the month” approach An approach that slows decision making and business outcomes Copyright 2005, AIT Group Inc. All rights reserved.

But Six Sigma Alone Has Holes
Lean Six Sigma
• Six Sigma lacks many concepts and tools lean is strong in • • • • • •
Set-up reduction Waste elimination Mistake Proofing Cycle-time improvement Process simplification Work in process control and reduction
• Six Sigma has long time-lines for projects (4-18 months) compared to Lean (1-4 months) • Six Sigma specialists (Black Belts) are often less productive than Lean specialists • Six Sigma Black Belts do 3-5 projects a year • Dedicated Lean project leaders do 10-20 projects a year
• Six Sigma is often seen as being “too slow” Copyright 2005, AIT Group Inc. All rights reserved.

Six Sigma & Lean Integration
Lean Six Sigma
Why Integrate? “We knew we wanted to have Six Sigma Tools, that was clear. But we also decided that what really makes change in a factory are some of the Lean tools. Putting in a pull system, reducing batch sizes, significantly changing setup times, all of a sudden everything starts to flow. Those are the types of things we saw over time that really made a difference in our factories and so we said that has to be a part of this training.” – Lou Guiliano, ITT Industries CEO on integrating lean techniques into ITT’s Six Sigma Rollout

Quality, Cost + Explicit Approach
Implicit Approach
• Goal – Reduce waste and increase process speed • Focus – Bias for action/ Utilize existing, proven Lean Tools • Method – Kaizen events, Value Stream Mapping
Lean Six Sigma
• Goal – Improve performance on Critical Customer Requirements • Focus – Use repeatable DMAIC approach for sustained results • Method – Intense focus on projects, performance improvement a key leadership activity

Integrating Lean and Six Sigma Initiatives
Lean Six Sigma
• Lean and Six Sigma can co-exist independently, but the benefits of integration are tremendous... • Single channel for employing limited resources • One improvement strategy for the organization • Highly productive and profitable synergy
…while the pitfalls of not integrating them are formidable • Divided focus of the organization • Separate and unequal messages for improvement • Destructive competition for resources and projects
