Lean Six Sigma Integration Research

With the increasingly fierce market competition, enterprises are facing greater competitive pressures. In order to reduce cost and improve the lead time at the same time of providing high-quality product and service, a growing number of managers started to pay attention to 'lean speed' and 'six sigma quality' integration-Lean Six Sigma.The integration of lean production and six sigma made enterprises to check improvement project from lean production and six sigma's two point of view. It's useful for enterprises to focus on apparent problems, employ power tool package to find out potential problem to gain advantage of speed, cost, quality and value. It means that enterprises can manufacture satisfy product quickly and create most client's value. Through using many kinds of technique and method, lean six sigma can reduce variation, improve quality; reconstruct process flow, expedite flow speed, optimize flow; on the basis of improving enterprises' basic management level, realize pull production, just in time manufacture, increase flow's flexibility. Through providing better quality than competitor, satisfying client requirement more quickly to retain client's satisfaction and loyalty, gain higher percent of market occupy, continue to improve quickly, reduce capital investment, improve efficiency and market response ability, gain advantage which is difficult to imitate for competitors, make stable basis for upgrading enterprises' competitive ability and let enterprise take peculiar finance return.Currently more and more Chinese enterprises began to explore lean six sigma management method. But the success enterprises are few and far between. How to combine the characteristics of Chinese enterprises to reach the successful implementation of lean six sigma is difficult problem for many enterprises. This paper attempts to research the integration of lean production and six sigma, combined with the successful implementation of lean six sigma, build lean six sigma technical system and explore lean six sigma implementation mode.This paper first researched the origin and theoretical basis of lean six sigma methods, and then analyzed the frustrated reasons of enterprise implementation lean six sigma, summary lean six sigma technical system. On the basis of success experience that TSKF implements lean six sigma, summarized lean six sigma implementation flow, which provided a complete reference model for the other enterprises. Finally, bring forward some lean six sigma implementation suggestion.
