Some people say that it is "empty gloves and white wolves" for enterprises to implement lean six-sigma project, but it can achieve great benefits by emphasizing zero or less investment. However, the pie will not be lost in vain, and any success can not be separated from the efforts of all parties. Similarly, the success of lean six sigma management in enterprises can not be separated from the support of the following resources.
1, corporate culture
Culture plays an important role in lean production and six sigma management. Similarly, the implementation of Lean Six Sigma is inseparable from cultural construction. Through cultural construction, every employee of the company will form the habit of doing things and consciously do things in a lean six sigma way.
Lean Six Sigma culture is a culture of continuous improvement, pursuit of perfection and full participation. Only by pursuing perfection and constantly improving the process can we constantly surpass the status quo and achieve greater achievements; Modern organizational management is a very complicated system, and the strength of an individual or a part of people is limited. Only with the participation of all employees can we give full play to our collective ability.
2. Business process
Lean production and six sigma management are both process-centered management methods, so lean six sigma management must also be process-centered and get rid of the thinking mode based on organizational functions. Only by taking the process as the center, can we really find out which ones generate value and which ones are wasted in the whole value flow and manage them efficiently.
3. At the level of corporate executives
Lean Six Sigma needs to deal with the problems of the whole system, at the same time, the problems to be analyzed and solved are more complicated, and it is necessary to communicate with different departments and obtain more resources. Without the support of leaders, it is impossible to succeed. The support of leaders should be real support, not just verbal commitment, so it requires leaders to participate in the reform of lean six sigma management. Only by participating in it can we find problems and effectively promote Lean Six Sigma.
4. Tools and methods
After analyzing the system with lean six sigma method, we may only use lean production or six sigma methods or tools for a specific problem, or we may need to combine the methods and tools in the two management modes. For example, simple problems should be solved directly by Kaizen strategy and lean production methods and tools. If we still use six sigma methods and tools, this will inevitably slow down the process. For complex problems, if you don't use six sigma methods and tools, you can't find the real reason and solve the problem effectively. There are still some complex problems that need to be solved simultaneously by lean and six-sigma methods and tools to achieve their goals. Therefore, in order to realize the speed of lean production and the robustness of six-sigma process, lean six-sigma management must determine the types of problems and choose appropriate methods and tools for specific problems.
