Lean Six Sigma Philosophy
Focus of LSS
The Process Equation The process equation is fundamental to Lean Six Sigma concepts and methods. It represents a process with “Y” as the outputs and “x” as the inputs.
• LSS provides a common sense approach to continuous improvement that focuses on waste elimination.
• LSS extends beyond manufacturing and is applied to all processes or functions.
• LSS focuses on customer value keeping us competitive in the long-term horizon.
• Effective LSS initiatives empower employees and build trust within the company.
• It maximizes employee involvement to solve problems and improve processes.
• Relentless focus on elimination of waste and creating greater customer value.
