Analysis Of Lean Six Sigma
Lean Six Sigma philosophy has always been introduced as a methodology that can be implemented in all business areas. In this case, the work implements the methodology in the bottling line of the water Mai Dubai.
The bottling production apparently runs good, but from the Lean Six Sigma view wastes are hidden that should be reduced. In the real processes there are wastes related with extra waiting times in the buffers, big raw water, overproduction, reprocessing and defects in bottles as a main problems. The three objectives are defined in the DEFINE phase of the DMAIC cycle. So, after the comprehension of all processes involved, in the proposal implementation, the buffers would be reduced between processes, the replacement would be modified …show more content…
Lean Six Sigma is related with other phases of the water such as the growing and laboratory work before bottling and also transporting of the Water. It is based on some other case studies and companies which are already applying Lean Six Sigma projects in their Waterries.
Regarding the bottling phase and the study realized in this work, the Lean Six Sigma methodology proposed is a first proposal implementation. It is focused on the application of the DMAIC improvement methodology cycle. The DMAIC cycle is a continuous improvement philosophy, so, once the improvement would be developed, implemented and controlled, if the processes reach the right values, it will mean that the causes are detected and are well implemented. To detect these causes and control them, the process must be capable. Then, it must achieve a reduction on the variation to be under control. As a result, the specification limits should be reduced to increase the quality in the variables and to continue with the cycle again. It could be that the processes change to worse or different scenarios. In all cases, the cycle will start again, defining the new situation. After that, the new objectives will be proposed to implement the cycle again using the adequate techniques and statistical tools for continuing the improvement, always looking for the business excellence, with the best savings, less waste and highest
