how to manage inventories cut wastages and rejects in warehouses _ a lean six sigma case study
​Lean Six Sigma case study in a pharmaceutical company

Problem: A Canadian Drug company had huge inventory and also wastages in their warehouse. How to cut down rejects? Is there a scope of reducing procurement expense?

Due Diligence :  The procurement process was mapped and it was found that the inventory management process was inefficient. Multiple investigative tools were employed to arrive at root cause(s) of the problem.

Solution: Lean six sigma methodology was employed. A new inventory management process was designed and integrated with SAP- ERP system. A ‘FIFO’ usage and distribution system was introduced and implemented across all locations within the organization.

Roles and responsibilities for continuous implementation of the new inventory management process was assigned to department members. Appropriate training was provided as well as documented.

Result Dashboard:
  • Decreased % rejects by 200 %
  • Decreased materials procurement by 150 %
  • Improved supplier relationship.
  • Smoother supply chain logistics process
  • Improved cross-functional team engagement, in turn better productivity.

What is the difference between Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma Business Process Improvement Methodology?

11/8/2013

0 Comments

 
​While the name implies that Lean Six Sigma incorporates Six Sigma, and rightly so, there are some differences between the two. They are both methods in which a company can improve whilst improving efficiency and lowering overall costs in the long run. They both aim to get rid of unnecessary stages or materials in order to benefit the company, though Six Sigma is more focused on improving the overall quality. The goals of both can be slightly different and are explained below in order to help you understand which could be better for your company.
What is the difference between six sigma and lean six sigma business process improvement methodology
Six Sigma uses a method known as DMAIC, which stands for Determine, Measure, Analyze, Implement and Control. Lean Six Sigma is more focused on observation in order to make decisions that can benefit the company’s productivity. It is more focused on shorter cycles that show where the benefits and errors lie through experimentation and observation. 
  
This allows for small changes to be made as they recognized, whereas Six Sigma is more of an overall assessment. Six Sigma is typically used for a serious problem that requires much attention to detail in order to come with a quick solution, however Lean Six Sigma is implemented as a long-lasting solution to improve the organization of a company. 
 
Lean Six Sigma requires the whole company to learn and implement the changes, whereas Six Sigma tends to just use teams instead. This is often more desirable for a large company that does not want to train all its employees but it can cause miscommunication, misunderstandings and feelings of separation. Lean Six Sigma requires each individual in a company to learn and develop skills that help the company lower waste and improve  productivity. 

Smaller companies will have a harder time using Six Sigma than Lean Six Sigma, since it requires much planning, analyzing and training in order to get the desired results. Small companies do not have the manpower to function without key members of the time, whereas larger companies can spare individuals from each department. Though some smaller companies choose to train and develop in increments at a time and put them together in the end, instead of fully engaging in a Six Sigma at one time. 
 
It is necessary to have at least a single employee to undergo Six Sigma or Lean Six Sigma at any time in order to provide training to the other employees. Many companies find it beneficial to hire outside help in order to train staff without disrupting day to day operations.
