The combination of Lean and Six Sigma tools
to create an integrated "Lean
Six Sigma" program has gained
popularity in the last few years.
Most organizations are now deploying
some form of Lean Six Sigma, rather
than the individual methodologies
alone. But there is a lot of uncertainty
about what Lean Six Sigma is, and
how it should be deployed. This powerpoint
presentation highlights the opportunities
and gaps associated with many current
Lean Six Sigma applications and describes
an Integrated Lean Six Sigma deployment
model that allows organizations to
strategically incoporate the best
aspects of both methodologies into
their quality improvement initiatives.
Rohit Ramaswamy, Ph.D., December 2006
