What is Six
Sigma?
In a simple explanation, Lean Six Sigma can be described as a
statistical method to eliminate waste and improve efficiency in
an organization’s processes. Having a history dating back to
Motorola and being defined as eliminating defects, Lean Six
Sigma has been taken to an extraordinary level that spans across
an array of industries beyond manufacturing. Now found in the
service and transactional environment, Lean Six Sigma brings a
refreshing outlook on business process improvement for how a
company defines, measures, analyzes, improves and controls both
operations and financials. For companies who have chosen to
implement Lean Six Sigma throughout their enterprise, they have
conservatively impacted their bottom-line with tangible results
in the range of $500,000 to $1,000,000.
What does
it take to implement Lean Six Sigma?
Typically, when a company has made a commitment to implementing
Lean Six Sigma, the company either chooses to do a ‘top-down
approach’ or a ‘bottom-up approach’. Each approach has its pros
and cons as would any Lean Six Strategy. However, regardless
the strategy, there are roles and responsibilities that are
imperative to your company’s Lean Six Sigma success. Take a
moment to review how your Lean Six Sigma strategy should
incorporate the following roles and responsibilities:
Green Belts –
Green Belts are at the level below Black Belts in their role and responsibility level of
the Lean Six Sigma strategy. They operate utilizing basic
statistics and soft skills to execute their projects as assigned
by either Master Black or Black Belts. In addition, they
prepare the team leader to address the initial opportunities for
improvement.
