Lean Six Sigma Implementation

What You Will Learn

• 1 Learn the foundational principles of Lean and Six Sigma and their historical evolution as complementary methodologies for process excellence.
• 2 Understand how to define project scope using the Voice of the Customer, CTQ trees, and a robust Project Charter to align improvements with strategic priorities.
• 3 Apply the Define and Measure phases of DMAIC: mapping the current process, identifying key metrics, and establishing baseline performance data.
• 4 Analyze root causes using cause-and-effect diagrams, FMEA, hypothesis testing, and regression analysis to separate true drivers from symptoms.
• 5 Design and validate improvement solutions using design of experiments, pilot runs, and Lean tools such as 5S, Kaizen, and Poka-Yoke.
• 6 Implement control mechanisms including statistical process control, standard work, and visual management to sustain gains beyond the project life cycle.
• 7 Integrate Lean waste categories: overproduction, waiting, transportation, overprocessing, inventory, motion, and defects with practical elimination techniques.
• 8 Build effective project teams, manage stakeholder communication, and apply tollgate reviews to keep DMAIC projects on track and within scope.
• 9 Use statistical process control charts and process capability analysis to monitor performance and make data-driven decisions in real time.
• 10 Plan and execute an organizational deployment strategy for Lean Six Sigma, including sponsorship structures, training pipelines, and cultural change management.
