Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Overview
Lean works in any repeatable process, it is a fundamentally different way of managing and developing processes
Originally Based upon Japanese manufacturing methodologies
= Doing the most with the least, consistently to a set quality level
World Leader in Lean seen to be Toyota
What Lean is NOT -
Getting colleagues to work faster and faster
Blindly implementing a set of improvement tools
Only of value in high volume processes
Having a ‘tidy-up’
Incompatible with other improvement methodologies (e.g. Six Sigma).
What is Six Sigma?
6 Sigma manufacturing philosophy came from Motorola
They recognised that sufficient process improvement would not occur using a conventional approach to quality. It was developed to help them reduce variation within a process by focusing effort on improving inputs to a process rather than reacting to outputs. (Standardised Inputs = Standardised Outputs)
The process was failing the customer expectations
Traditionally, processes aimed for process capability of 3 to 4 sigma (93% to 99.3% acceptable)
The customer received 6200 defective product per million at best
Processes now aim for 6 sigma
The customer would receive 3.4 defective products per million
