Through the training, Lean Sigma Professionals got to know our company personally, visiting our plant and walking us through the processes. Books and seminars can only go so far, but LSP makes Six Sigma a no-brainer to do for any plant management team who wants to reduce costs and increase efficiencies.

CFO, Food Industry Manufacturer

We plan to use the Lean Six Sigma problem-solving methodology to identify and improve operational efficiencies, reduce mistakes and costly rework, and for team cohesion initially. These early successes will establish a contagious confidence and desire to attack larger projects and expand the program into other areas of the organization.

Lean Six Sigma is valuable for any company with inventories that are routinely pulled for individual orders. The tools help keep our data accurate and processes in control.

Lean Six Sigma

Lean Six Sigma is a proven blueprint used to increase a company’s profits by reducing mistakes, eliminating unnecessary expenses and enhancing revenue generation. The Lean Six Sigma blueprint is a fact-based approach to both improve existing processes and design new ones.

  • To improve the effectiveness and efficiency of any type of process in any organization, the D.M.A.I.C. outline below is used:
  • For designing processes that achieve breakthrough results based on customer specifications, the D.M.A.D.V outline below is used:
-
  • D.M.A.I.C.
  • D: define objectives
  • M: measure current capability
  • A: analyze data to assess root cause
  • I: develop improvements
  • C: sustain improvements
  • D.M.A.D.V.
  • D: define objectives
  • M: identify customer requirements
  • A: analyze potential solutions
  • D: detail design and test new process
  • V: sustain improvements

The blueprint is applied by Lean Six Sigma practitioners called Green Belts, Black Belts, and Master Black Belts who complete improvement or design projects that are managed to reach financial targets and achieve other relevant business results.

Lean Six Sigma Green Belts: Green Belts are trained and skilled in Lean Six Sigma to solve the majority of process problems in both service and manufacturing companies.

Lean Six Sigma Black Belts: Black Belts are the most highly trained in Lean Six Sigma. They are expected to achieve breakthrough level improvements in most complex processes.

Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belts: Master Black Belts are hands-on experts who train and mentor Green and Black Belts in Lean Six Sigma and work on the highest complexity projects.
