Molex is Building a Stronger Quality Culture with Lean Six SigmaMolex is Building a Stronger Quality Culture with Lean Six Sigma
Customers are our primary focusPeople are our most valued assetSupplier and customers are long-term business partnersContinual improvement is essential to successZero defects is our goal
The GLSS initiative is a coordinated worldwide effort across Molex to reduce waste, eliminate process variation and, ultimately, create a stronger link to our customer, through the discipline of Lean and Six Sigma processes. Our goal is focus on preventing problems instead of fixing them. We are applying quality principles to all business processes.
Global Quality Policy
Focused on improvement– Several Focal Points in this area
Investing heavily– Standard software, data management.– Fulltime, dedicated resources (net headcount adds!)
Adopting a global approach – Same process, tools, training materials.
Top-Down implementation– Management trained before the first Black Belt– Metrics to sustain progress
Searched for top talent– Good Black Belts are the key to the deployment

Standard TemplatesStandard Templates
We have templates in English & Japanese to help Belts manage their projects efficiently
Standardization allows projects to be managed the same between geographies.
Dashboard ExampleDashboard Example
Using Visual PortalsUsing Visual PortalsWith 25 locations, it takes too long to follow up with each individually
We use Visual Portals to capture key indicators in real time
LibraryLibraryReplication is a very important part of today’s deployment
Management is challenged with finding good projects to replicate
We run reports through PS to identify these projects
