Why Lean Six Sigma Practices Are More Beneficial Today Than Ever

From physical offices shuttering to disruptions in global supply chains, the impact of the pandemic is being felt throughout the business world.

Organizations, now more than ever, are quick to embrace time-tested processes and procedures as they continue to seek ways to keep their operations moving forward. Lean Six Sigma (a combination of Lean methodologies and Six Sigma strategies) is just one business methodology that is more essential today than ever before increasing the capabilities to survive in a volatile and rapidly changing environment. Granting your business the capability to ensure prompt delivery methods, decrease waste, and solidify superior products/services for your customers, Lean Six Sigma can make any organization adept at overcoming the toughest challenges so that you can take advantage of your most profitable opportunities.

The American Society for Quality (ASQ) says, “Lean Six Sigma is a fact-based, data-driven philosophy of improvement that values defect prevention over defect detection. It drives customer satisfaction and bottom-line results by reducing variation, waste, and cycle time while promoting the use of work standardization and flow, thereby creating a competitive advantage. It applies anywhere variation and waste exist, and every employee should be involved.”

Five Key Benefits of Adapting Lean Six Sigma for your Business

1) Increased Revenue

Lean Six Sigma positively impacts your business by increasing your capacity to carry out your processes while reducing your employee’s world per unit in production. This means you can literally do more with less. Your production will speed up while your quality standards continue to improve.

2) Lower Costs

Lean methods will cut down on waste to lower costs while still meeting your customers’ expectations. It will enhance problem-solving, infusing your business with a more proactive approach, rather than a reactive one. If you remove poor inspect-and-rework cycles, you will save resources and enjoy a better reputation with all your stakeholders.

3) Increased Efficiency

All businesses that care about growth need scalable processes. Lean Six Sigma optimizes processes and documents them. This helps you reclaim your intellectual and automation resources and revenue from your business. Then it easy to perform, learn, enhance, and operate for faster expansion.

4) More Effective Processes

The principles of Lean and Six Sigma place the customer at the center of process creation and improvement. They will help you define who your customer is and pinpoint their expectations. This is the value that all your processes should aim to create in production. Lean Six Sigma principles will also analyze and optimize value to elevate the customer’s experience.

5) More Capable Teams

Lean Six Sigma builds an invaluable culture of transparency and trust in every level of business. It leverages team efforts for improvement, giving your workforce pride in process change. Employees will gain an understanding of each member’s critical role towards the success of your business, making them more accountable.
