3 Operational Excellence using Lean Six Sigma Increasing globalization & competitive pressures compelling organisations to raise their performance bar Consequently, Operational Excellence (OE) is high on the priority list of many companies Yet, finding ways to actually enable operational excellence remains a challenge Top companies with successful track records have discovered Lean Six Sigma as an effective approach for operational excellence. Some examples: Motorola adopted Six Sigma in 1987 The company saved $16 billion in 10 years In The first year Xerox s saved $240,000 using Lean Six Sigma, through reduction in production loss of toner. Also Xerox helped Bank of America save $800,000 by consolidating document centers Toyota worked with one supplier to reduce lead time by 46%, work-in-process inventory by 83%, finished goods inventory by 91%, overtime by 50%. All this increased productivity with 83%.

It is a commitment to improving efficiency by eliminating or reducing waste and non value added activities Six Sigma seeks to improve the quality and reliability of processes and minimizing variability using quality management and statistical methods What is Lean Six Sigma? Lean Six Sigma, is a marriage of two distinct business management strategies. As a result, Lean Six Sigma allows managers to effectively address issues of speed, quality and cost.
