Provides an understanding of the Lean Six Sigma system design principles and tools. Discusses the lean continuous improvement cycle: 1) defining value using tools such Quality Function Deployment; 2). proceeding with identifying value streams using Value Stream Mapping; 3) making the value stream flow though the elimination of 7 wastes, line balancing, 5S, cellular layouts, SMED; 4) pulling resources JIT based on demand; and 5) achieving perfection through Kaizen events and statistical process control. Six Sigma improvement cycles DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Measure and Control) and DMADV (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design and Verify) are also discussed and synergies with lean principles are reviewed to create a Lean Six Sigma system. Students are exposed to industry cases from major companies that illustrate the challenges and best practices of implementing a Lean Six Sigma system.
