Lean Six Sigma
Internal
Assignment Applicable for April 2021 Examination

improving their operational and financial performances. Using an industry
example, explain how Six Sigma deployment has helped the company in reducing

What are Control Charts? Discuss how process control charts are used for

Lean Six Sigma mainly focuses on collaborative team effort that helps enhance
efficiency and improve performance by methodically discarding any waste and
bring down any fluctuations in the system. This approach plays a critical role
in an organization’s culture, wherein it focuses on process optimization which
contributes towards increasing profitability and maximizing efficiency. The
lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19 was announced when we were amidst a
major lean six sigma driven re-engineering-cum-transformation program! The
value of all the process maps developed by the six sigma team came to the fore
when we shifted overnight and seamlessly to digital servicing. Problem-solving lies at the core of six
sigma. We quickly trained our associates on deployment of six sigma tools since
they are on their own working from home in the new normal. Not only have our
grievances come down by 90% from the pre-COVID era, the stream of appreciations
flowing in from partners & customers alike is a huge testimony to the
deployment of six sigma methodology & tools by our team members day in and
day out as they cope with new problems during the current lockdown and solve
them real-time with no one to reach out physically! Various processes across the enterprise were
put to the test during COVID-19. Six sigma rigor prior to the lockdown helped
us ensure a seamless shift to digital servicing and aided us to be on top when
the situation changed day to day, with all hitherto drawn up plans getting
defenestrated. I believe that Six sigma rigor after the lockdown will also help
us institutionalize all the process changes and learnings during the current
phase. Productivity, be it measurement
of activity or output, becomes extremely topical during the work-from-home era.
Again, we leveraged six sigma to come up with clear process metrics and
outcome-based metrics for our associates. Our bouquet of hourly, daily, weekly
and monthly metrics have helped us zero in on the voice of process before it
moves to the voice of the customer. In other words, if you are sharp enough to
catch the yellow signals based on measurement of the process, you can ensure
they don’t turn red in terms of receiving negative feedback from the
customer. Authored by KV Dipu, Head –

Lean manufacturing is an increasingly popular methodology that aspires to
minimise waste whilst simultaneously maximising productivity in manufacturing
systems ─ waste, defined not by what gets thrown in the bin, but by what the
customer believes. If something does not add value to the product and customers
aren’t so keen on paying for it, then it’s waste. This unorthodox method led
Toyota Motor Corporation to superstardom on the manufacturing scene, with their
industry-leading Toyota Production System (TPS). They successfully produce some
of the best vehicles on the planet, with the least waste, in the fastest
possible way. Toyota’s lean manufacturing system has been adopted by a myriad
of automobile manufacturers around the world, including Ford, General Motors,
and Honda, and the conventions, rules and tools at its foundation have been
implemented in systems across society, including hospitals and postal services.
The TPS is, for lack of better words, a stalwart norm in an otherwise
