Presentation Topics:
• What is ‘Lean’...and what is ‘Six Sigma’?
• What are the similarities and differences?
• How does this help me in my work?
1. Introduction to Lean and Six Sigma
• Taking a data-driven approach to define the problem, identify defects, and validate the effectiveness of solutions.
2. Data! Data! Data!
• How does experiential project engagement and learning increase project ownership?
3. Hands-on learning and real-world problem
solving create engagement.
Part 1: What is Lean Six Sigma?
In 2001, by a book titled Leaning into Six Sigma: The Path to Integration of Lean Enterprise and Six Sigma by Barbara Wheat, Chuck Mills, Mike Carnell.[6] The book was developed as a guide for managers of manufacturing plants on how to combine lean manufacturing and Six Sigma in order
to dramatically improve quality and cycle time in the plant.
Both were derived from the manufacturing industry with same goal:
improve customer satisfaction,
improvement on product quality
improving the speed of production
reduction in cost improve employee
engagement.
In the 1980s Lean and Six Sigma were two separate methodologies.
Lean – known from Toyota Six Sigma – known from Motorola
What is Lean?
Goal
o Remove of Waste
o Maximize Process Flow
o Eliminate non-value added
process steps
o Create standization
o Create balance load
process
o Focus on Customer
Requirements
Speed
Practice:
Are you able to identify
waste in your
workplace?.. Or day to
day life?

Part 2. Data! Data! Data!
Typical Mindset in Problem Solving
Problem Occurs
we assume what cause the problem
We assert in knowing the solutions
We insist the current way of doing thing is the
correct way

the same thing. It
makes no difference
We assert in knowing the root cause

Lean Six Sigma = take a Business Problem…

Y = f (x)
The Problem Solving Equation

Factors of the process
that affect the output
Y = f (x1+x2+x3….)

There are many factors within the
process. Lean Six Sigma interested in
factors that are most significant
influences on the output
We use a variety of Lean Six Sigma
tools to help find the vital few
variables that have the biggest
impact.

At every step of the
project, DATA is used to
map the problem,
process, root cause, and
find solutions.
Using a data driven
approach enables the
project team to use
FACTS to more accurately
identify problems and
opportunities

As a project facilitator have to create
environment enable natural learning curve
(peaks & valleys) for each team member and
as a team. Such experiential learning create
natural enrollment and empowerment in
