Is Lean Six Sigma difficult to implement? What is it in the first place? If you’re trying to find a solution to your current problems in the company or working in a new project to improve its operations, you should have the answers to these questions already. But if you don’t, it isn’t something to recriminate you and instead, we want to help you understand why it is crucial for the project you have in mind.
Lean Six Sigma is known as a methodology that involves solving problems and eliminating all the aspects that interfere in your processes and efforts to obtain the final product your clients need. Now, solving problems and eliminating are the basic principles but when it comes to which are the results or goals of doing this, they will probably wish to have started a long time ago. When you eliminate the waste and all the aspects that cause problems, you will be able to notice an improvement in obtaining the final product due to the reduction in the failures. Besides, a key to satisfying your client is to always prioritize its needs and requirements. This will help you to aim your processes in the right direction.
We know, this is a lot to process and there’s still more, but before we continue, keep in mind that implementing this methodology involves experts and professionals. At Maximum Potential, we can help you to understand it further and assist you in its implementation. That being said, let’s continue!
Why solve problems instead of focus your efforts on something else?
If you think about it carefully, the problems and elements affecting your company play a much more important role in preventing your processes and performance from improving. You could add more elements or implement a new technique, but if you continue having the same difficulties, there’s not much you can do until you solve them. Therefore, don’t think that eliminating and solving aren’t important things to do.
Now, the Lean Six Sigma methodology focuses on helping you to deal with the waste—defects, overproduction, and more—so your company reduces the failures and resources used in the production. In a few words, you should be more productive, effective and the performance is going to improve without a doubt. And the only things you need to make this happen is to go through 5 phases where your tools and instruments are going to be the statistics and information of the company and the processes between your clients and you.
When can you start to use it?
Now, tomorrow, in a week or whenever you want. The best part about it is that, besides being a cost-effective method, you can start whenever you think it is necessary or have the opportunity. Keep in mind that the improvements you will obtain when using this methodology aren’t a one-time thing.
Once problems are solved, waste eliminated and improvements present, the final step is a constant one: controlling the improvement and productiveness of the processes with the perfect plan. Therefore, this is something you can use when you have problems or just need to implement something new and effective.
