1. Introduction of Lean Six Sigma
Six Sigma Lean
A method that develops a set of techniques and used to reduce defects and improve the capability of business process in organizations.
(From ASQ, INVESTOPEDIA, BQF and so on)
An approach that removes unnecessary and wasteful steps to improve efficiencies and deliver value to customers in streamline manufacturing and production processes.
(From Villanova university, Goleansisigma, MindTools and so on)

BENEFITS DRAWBACKS
Process Improvement
1. Not fully mature into a specific area of academic research as an approach to process improvement
2. Cause a conflict of interest and a drain on resources
3. No theoretical underpinning or explanation for the choice of techniques
4. No standard framework for lean Six Sigma5. With the framework presented, there is no
clear direction as to which strategy should be selected at the specific stages of a project.
1. Process and data driven 2. Results-oriented approach3. Improve performance, streamline procedures,
reduce defects and increase staff productivity4. Assure and improve quality5. Improve linkages between system components6. Improve capacity utilisation7. Improve responsiveness and speed in the
process of project8. Identify non value added activities9. Shorter customer fulfilment lead times and
lower costs10.Maximize invested capital, enhance customer
loyalty and retention
Project Delivery1. More discrete and measurable deliverables2. Tools for each cycle

Industries Apply
Healthcare
• Diminish the time on paperwork and waiting lists• Increase the working efficiency and the time with patients
Financial Services
• Boost the yield capacity by improving the processes• Gain the income by raising the customer satisfaction and serving
more clients
Manufacturing
• Boost the manufacturing operations and productivity• Enhance the cost saving by decreasing energy usage, equipment
downtime and reject ratio

PHASES
(Thomas, Barton& Chuke-Okafor, 2008).
PHASE PURPOSES PROCESS RESULTP1:
DEFINEIdentify the issue or problem
• Pareto analysis• DOE approach
Low-foam firmness was identified:• Standard: deflection of the foam:10 mm (+1-0 mm).• Reality: deflection of the foam:12 mm
P2: MEASURE
Designing the strategy and test process for detecting the defect to confirm the issue
• Testing ten samples randomly through the production line at premises
• Six out of ten samples were detected with fault• Therefore, the issue was confirmed.
P3: ANALYSE
Figure out the root causes for the issue
• Brainstorming exercise• Fishbone• Root cause analysis
• All the possible factors within the production line were tested.
• Five key factors were identified and concluded.
P4: IMPROVE
Remove the causes of the defect in order to keep the quality level
• A Taguchi DOE experiment • ANOVA
• - Analysis of variance• - Control factors • - Interactions
• The optimum settings of parameter, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, were concluded by experiments relating to the five key factors.
P5: CONTROL
Keep the quality level• Validate the optimum
settings of parameter.• SPC chart
• No defect was detected and recorded.
(Thomas, Barton& Chuke-Okafor, 2008).
NAME PURPOSES PROCESS RESULT
P6: 5S
IMPLEMENTATION
Improve production flow and work practices,
Preparation for the visualization and assessment in the process
of VSM
• Implementing 5S process: Sort, set in order (straighten), shine,
standardize, sustain
• All the working methods within the plant had been cleaned and standardized.
P7: VALUE STREAM MAPPING VSM
Find out possible flow improvement and waste
reduction within the current production system
Standard process flow chart approach of value stream mapping
• Accessing times of each operation/function • Placing them in a chart
• Non-value added activities were identified
• The problem of major systems reconfiguration is identified
P8: SYSTEMS
REDESIGN TO REDUCE WASTE
Reduce waste
• Start a cost reduction projects• Preset the machinery using the new
parameter settings from the six sigma project.
• Setting up time and reject foam on start-up within the machinery were reduced.
• Energy consumption was lower.
P9:SYSTEMS
REDESIGN TO ACHIEVE SUF
Achieve SUF (single unit flow)
Reconfiguration of the plant • Moving the trimming section• Link up between the two foam
manufacturing machines in order• Synchronizing installation conveyor
systems
• The production process was smoothed and the operation time was reduced.
P10:APPLICATION OF
TPM
Maintain the machinery and equipment to support the
production system.
• Implementing TPM program• Adopting OEE system as a measure of
plant performance
• Cost-saving:• The management the entire
business process of the company was improved
(Thomas, Barton& Chuke-Okafor, 2008).
Solved the problem of Low-Foam firmness in production line
• Identified and confirmed the issue• Found out the main factors and the root causes• Remove the root causes and solved the problem• Maintained the improved process
Improved and optimized the whole process within the plant• Standardized the working mothed• Identified and removed waste in the workflow• Optimized the process • Energy saving, time saving and cost saving

CONTENT
• Lean Six Sigma is an integrated approach of Lean and Six Sigma.
• It can be applied to numerous industries, especially, the healthcare, financial services and manufacturing.
• The restrictions of the approach should be considered seriously before applications.
• The significant improvements mostly demonstrate by the product quality and delivery.
• A application provides the organization with the culture of systematic approach and the more technical attitude toward the problem-solving.
