1 Introduction to Lean Six Sigma Heather McCain 1

2 Agenda for Today Understanding Lean, Six Sigma, and Lean Six Sigma Understanding of what LSS can do for me and my organization Implementing Lean Six Sigma Leadership Lessons 2

3 Lean Six Sigma Methodology for reducing waste and variation in processes that impact employees, customers, clients, and business leaders. Lean -- reduce waste Six Sigma -- reduce variation 3

4 History of Six Sigma Developed by Motorola in the 1980s 1985 Bill Smith coined the term 1987 trademarked Became popular in the 1990s due to GE s Jack Welch and AlliedSignal s Larry Bossidy. included a strategic element of business planning focused their initiatives on customer satisfaction and business performance. 4

5 History of Lean Six Sigma The combination of the methodologies occurred in the late 1990s. Teams often needed to implement Lean concepts to reduce waste before applying Six Sigma concepts to reduce variation. 5

6 Overview of Lean Six Sigma Lean is used for: Waste reduction Minimizing redundancies Improving work flows Human mistake reduction Six Sigma is used for: Reducing quality issues Reducing variation Solving complex issues Assuring root causes are eliminated 6

7 What is Lean? Toyota Production System Methodology to improve production systems Goals of Lean Improve Quality Eliminate Waste Reduce Costs 7

8 5 Principles of Lean Directly observe work as activities, connections and flows Systematic waste elimination Action Create a learning organization Reflection Systematic Problem Solving Establish high agreement of what and how 8

9 Systematic Waste Elimination What is Waste? Anything beyond the absolute minimum amount of Materials Manpower Machinery needed to add value to a product or service. 9

10 Seven Muda (Wastes) Defects Waiting Overproduction Inventory Transportation Motion Process waste (including over processing) 8 th added later Underutilizing people Note: some wastes fit in more than one category 10

11 5S + 1 The methodology for creating and maintaining an organized, clean, and safe work environment to deliver and achieve high performance. Sort (Seiri) Keep only what is required Store / Set (Seiton) Arrange and identify for ease of use, organize Shine (Seiso) Clean regularly. Clean up everything Standardize (Seiketsu) Eliminate causes and reduce variations, make standards obvious Sustain (Shitsuke) Plan, schedule, train, and control Safety 11

12 What is Six Sigma? A strategy for improving the business. A method of understandingand satisfyingcustomerstrue needs. A set of leadership behaviors that help promote a culture for learning, improvement and success. A method of improvingthe understandingof business processes by: identifying opportunities for cost savings and to realize those savings (dmaic) optimizing a product, process or service prior to launch (DFSS) A way of increasing the profit in your business. 12

13 What is Six Sigma? Defects per Sigma % Million Level Good Opportunities % 66, % 6, % sigma shift 0 σ= 100% Bad C-17 (1,300,000 Holes with Fasteners) Bottle of Pills σ = 7 Bad 4 σ = 1 Bad 6 σ = 0 Bad 0 σ = 1,300,000 Missing Fasteners 3 σ = 86,849 Missing Fasteners 4 σ = 8,073 Missing Fasteners 6 σ = 4 Missing Fasteners 13

14 Opportunities for Improvement Design Process Prevent defects in product development Define (Customer domain) Continuous Improvement Eliminate defects in production Define (Customer domain) Characterize (Engineering domain) Optimize (Robust design) Improve design for manufacturability Improve manufacturing capability Measure (Production domain) Analyze (Problem solving) Verify (Design validation) Improve (Root cause eliminated) Control (process control) 14

15 DMAIC--Define Define (Customer) Measure (Production) Analyze (Problem solving) Improve (Root cause eliminated) Control (Permanent solution) Identify Customers Internal External end-users, intermediate, impacted Identify Critical to Quality (CTQ) Key Characteristics / Dimensions Critical to customer s perception of quality Measurable Create a high-level Process Map 15

16 The Customer-Supplier Chain Supplier Inputs Process Outputs Customer SIPOC Supplier Expectations Understand Agree Customer Supplier Expectations Understand Agree Customer Supplier Expectations Understand Agree Customer 16 Heather McCain 11/5/2014

17 Customer Expectations Dissatisfaction--didn t meet customer expectations Did not understand the expectations Need to address the voice of the customer in the early design cycle Need to understand the wholeproduct/service experience Failed to deliver on the expectations Need to communicate expectations to product/ service providers (manufacturing, suppliers, retailers, ) Need to improve the product, process or service 17

18 High Level Process Map Key Input Variables Support processes Management processes People Machine/Method Key Output Variables INPUTS What are we trying to make or do? OUTPUTS Product Materials Environment By-Product Think in terms of the product or finished goods or service, not machine, process, etc. 18

19 DMAIC--Measure Define (Customer) Measure (Production) Analyze (Problem solving) Improve (Root cause eliminated) Control (Permanent solution) Establish and measure inputs (X s) and outputs (Y s) Key input variables (x) Key output variables (y) Plan for Data Collection What varies What to measure How to measure What to look for in the data Validate Measurement System Measurement System Analysis Gage R&R Sampling Producer s/consumer s Risk OC curves 19

20 Measurement Systems The collection of instruments or gages, standards, operations, methods, fixtures, software, personnel, environment, and assumptions used to quantify a unit of measure. σ 2 Total= σ 2 Process+ σ 2 Measurement Process Measurement Analysis Decision Value 20

21 Measure Systems Analysis Guidelines for assessing the quality of a measurement system What is measured? Who measures it? What type of equipment is used? How is it measured (manually/automatically)? Where is it measured (environment)? How difficult is the device to use? 21

22 DMAIC--Analyze Define (Customer) Measure (Production) Analyze (Problem solving) Improve (Root cause eliminated) Control (Permanent solution) Identify sources of variation What can vary What are the vital few x s Screen potential causes What could go wrong What types of problems do we see Test hypothesis If x varies what happens to y 22

23 Sources of Variation Y=f(X) Y is dependent upon X People Materials Equipment Requirements Support processes Management processes Product Inputs Process Outputs By-product Environment 23

24 DMAIC--Improve Define (Customer) Measure (Production) Analyze (Problem solving) Improve (Root cause eliminated) Control (Permanent solution) Determine variable relationships Select a solution Confirm and validate improvements 24

25 DMAIC--Control Define (Customer) Measure (Production) Analyze (Problem solving) Improve (Root cause eliminated) Develop process control and control plans Document process and lessons learned Control (Permanent solution) 25

37 Leadership Lessons / Success Factors Active participation of senior executives Mentors, champions Resources Barrier busters Celebrate early wins Strategy Linkage Focus on results Clear vision Project tracking Work on vital few, not trivial many 37

38 Leadership Lessons /Success Factors Customer Focus Supplier/Procurement Strategy Technical Support (MBBs) Deployment Plan Full-time versus part-time resources Incentive programs Training 38

39 Leadership Lessons /Success Factors Communicate, communicate, communicate 39

40 Lean Six Sigma Can be implemented in small organizations service organizations large manufacturing companies Anywhere you need to reduce waste and variation. 40 Heather McCain 11/5/2014

41 Lean Six Sigma is NOT: Just for manufacturing Training a few Black Belts to perform miracles in a vacuum Only tools and statistics A one-time or stand along event Zero defects Head count reduction or layoffs EASY 41

42 Getting Started Determine the level of support in the organization Select key customer and identify core processes Review key measures and customer requirements Select 2-3 projects related to the customer that will impact key measures Train the people involved Track progress Communicate results 42
