17. 1.6 What is Lean Six Sigma?
A
Notes:
Lean Six Sigma is a combination of two powerful methodologies: Lean and Six Sigma. The Lean toolkit provides
ways to streamline processes by reducing Waste and the Six Sigma toolkit provides tools to reduce Defects by
conducting root cause analysis. Together, they provide the fastest, most effective way to improve processes.

18. 1.7 What is a Lean Process?
A
Notes:
A Lean process is achieved by removing “Waste“, which is any activity not required to complete a process.
!
After removing Waste, the only steps remaining will be those required to produce a product or service that is of
value to a Customer.

19. 1.8 What is a Six Sigma Process?
A
Notes:
A Six Sigma process is one that produces only 3.4 Defects per million opportunities (otherwise known as
DPMO). This means that Six Sigma can also be thought of as a goal where processes encounter close to zero
Defects, and do so consistently.

A
Notes:
Where did Lean Six Sigma come from?
!
Lean actually originated with Henry Ford and his invention of the assembly line. But it was perfected by Toyota
in Japan with the creation of the Toyota Production System.
!
Six Sigma originated at Motorola where they were able to bring their production of pagers up to Six Sigma
levels with close to zero Defects.

2.1 Module: Lean Six Sigma Roles
A
Notes:
In a typical organization, there are a number of roles that help ensure a robust rollout of Lean Six Sigma. Not all
organizations appoint individuals to each of these positions, but the following outlines the roles along with a
description of the responsibilities for each.

37. 2.3 Lean Six Sigma Belt Levels
A
Notes:
The use of belt levels come from Karate and gives Lean Six Sigma some of the attributes of martial arts. People
don’t actually walk around in robes and belts as they would at your neighborhood dojo, but as in Karate, the
different belt colors indicate different skill levels.
!
Each level has corresponding implications for a person’s job description. Let’s take a look at what the differing
belt levels mean in the world of Lean Six Sigma.

38. 2.4 Yellow Belt
A
Notes:
The title of Yellow Belt indicates that a person has a basic understanding of Lean Six Sigma concepts and can
help identify opportunities and participate in applying improvements to processes. They often work with Green
Belts or Black Belts who provide project leadership and training on additional tools and concepts when it makes
sense. Yellow Belts assist in projects on a limited basis which does not interfere with their normal job duties.
!
!
Obtaining a Yellow Belt through training and certification is a great place to start the Lean Six Sigma Journey.

39. 2.5 Green Belt
A
Notes:
Green Belts receive a greater level of training than Yellow Belts and typically lead or participate as a member of
a process improvement team. They might dedicate 20% of their time to improvement projects while still
performing their normal job duties. Green Belts have a strong, tactical understanding of the most common Lean
Six Sigma tools and they can deploy simple, high-impact solutions with regularity. They are often a great source
of increased productivity and cost savings for typical organizations.

40. 2.6 Black Belt
A
Notes:
Unlike Yellow Belts and Green Belts, Black Belts hold full-time positions in Lean Six Sigma organizations. They
are trained to lead improvement teams, Green Belts and Yellow Belts. They provide mentoring and support for
Green Belts who are leading their own teams and they provide advanced expertise on more complex processes
and projects.

41. 2.7 Master Black Belt
A
Notes:
The Master Black Belt role is also a full-time position and in addition to mentoring Black Belts, they work with
leadership to strategically select and launch improvement projects. When they work as a project leader they
are often working on large, cross-departmental, complex processes. Master Black Belts receive the most
training of any of the Lean Six Sigma Roles.

42. 2.8 Champion
A
Notes:
Champions have general understanding of Lean Six Sigma but their role is primarily to help select, support and
promote specific projects to completion. They hold leadership positions within the organization and are capable
of removing barriers and obtaining resources as needed by the project teams. Champions are often asked to
support a specific project or a suite of projects because they have what you might call, “skin in the game.” They
care about the outcome. Champions are essential to smoothing the way to a culture of process improvement.

A
Notes:
So let’s recap:
!
The belt names originated in the martial art of Karate. Some are full time like Black Belts and Master Black Belts
and others are part time such as Green Belts and Yellow Belts.
!
!
And Champions are the critical sponsors of Lean Six Sigma projects.

48. 3. Module: 8 Wastes
3.1 Module: The 8 Wastes
A
Notes:
Eliminating Waste is one of the underlying goals of Lean Six Sigma. You might imagine the Waste of uneaten
food that gets regularly thrown out at Bahama Bistro, but we’re actually talking about a much broader concept
of the word “Waste.”

A
Notes:
By the end of this module, you will gain a better understanding of each of The 8 Wastes of Lean. You will also be
introduced to examples of each type of Waste. And finally, you will understand what to do when Waste is
discovered.

50. 3.3 Waste is a Waste
A
Notes:
Since Toyota, a japanese company, perfected Lean, you’ll notice that many tools and concepts have Japanese
names. “Muda” means Waste in Japanese.
!
It’s important to eliminate Waste in order to spend more time and resources on providing value to the
customer.
!
!
The more an organization can reduce Waste, the better!

51. 3.4 Seeing with New Eyes
A
Notes:
Marcel Proust, Said “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but seeing with new eyes.”
That is what happens when you learn The 8 Wastes. You’ll start to identify the Waste all around you.
Sometimes, we have been surrounded by Waste for so long, we become desensitized to it.
!
Seeing with new eyes means that you recognize Waste that previously went unnoticed at your workplace
everyday,. People are not a Waste, but their time might be focused on Wasteful activities. You may hear
coworkers complain about how there is too much to do, but many of the activities they’re engaged in are
probably not adding value. The goal is to identify and eliminate these non-value adding steps so people can
spend more time on activities that add and create value.
!
Some of the prevailing attitudes about process change can be summed up in the following expressions: “If it’s
not broken, don’t fix it.” or, “That’s the way we’ve always done it.” The result is that processes are never
questioned, never examined for improvement potential.
!
Applying new tools to the same old process can help people see with new eyes. Applying The 8 Wastes
provides this essential new perspective.

3.5 Learning to See with New Eyes
A
Notes:
Sometimes we don’t see the Waste because it’s been ignored for a long time. Or maybe we didn’t realize it was
there in the first place.
!
Looking for The 8 Wastes is an easy first step to reducing Waste in an organization. It helps employees begin to
see with new eyes.

55. 3.8 Bahama Bistro: 8 Wastes & DOWNTIME
A
Notes:
Here are Bahama Bistro's 8 Wastes organized according to the "DOWNTIME" acronym. Click on each one to
learn more.
!
!
Defects
Defects mean something wasn’t created or completed correctly. Defects usually results re-work or re-do’s,
which means more time and money spent fixing and correcting.
!
Defects are usually defined by the customer. Customers don’t want to receive products or services with
Defects, nor do they want to engage in processes that cause Defects.
!
Defects will be different for each process. They can result in missing information, non-working products or
inadequate services.
!
Have you experienced a defect in a process recently? Did you get the wrong order at a restaurant? Was your

55"of"467
56. flight cancelled? Were your hospital records inaccurate?
!
!
!
!
What are some examples of Defects that you’ve experienced as a customer?
Overproduction
Overproduction refers to producing something faster or in more abundance than needed.
In manufacturing this is sometimes done to keep a production line busy or provide insurance against an
unexpected increase in orders.
!
Think about meal portion sizes in restaurants, many times the portions are too large for one person. Most
people have to take the rest home, throw it out or leave the meal unfinished.
!
In administrative processes, an example of Overproduction could be producing or printing reports that very few
people read or use.
!
!
!
What are some of your examples of Overproduction?
Waiting
Waiting is one of most prevalent Wastes. Waiting refers to any time there is a delay and customers are Waiting
for goods or services. This also happens internally when one colleague is Waiting on another colleague for parts
or information in order to do their job.
!
And internal wait time eventually leads to delays for customers. Have you experienced a delay during visit an
emergency room? Going to the DMV? Checking out at a grocery store? These are all times when you probably
preferred not to wait.
!
Wait time occurs in a production environment as well. If you’re building a product, the unit is often sitting
Waiting to be worked on, Waiting for other parts to arrive, or Waiting to be assembled.
!
!
!
!
Can you think of a process that has significant amounts of wait time?
Non-Utilized Talent
Non-Utilized Talent is the Waste of intellectual capital.
This occurs when organization and/or managers fail to leverage people’s skills, talents, knowledge or
experience.
!
"
Copyright"2013"GoLeanSixSigma.com."All"Rights"Reserved.
ReproducAon"is"strictly"prohibited"without"prior"wriDen"consent."
56"of"467
57. Have you ever worked somewhere where your opinions and input were not valued?
!
Or maybe you’ve heard the saying, “don’t think, just do.”
Meaning someone else will make all the decisions and you are meant to just follow instructions.
!
People feel underutilized and underappreciated in this type of environment and the organization misses out on
critical talent and know-how. In the case where products or services lie Waiting for “experts”, the
underutilization of intellectual capital often leads to the Waste of “Waiting.”
!
!
!
!
Can you think of examples where people’s talents, creativity, or knowledge is being underutilized?
Transportation (TOUCHES)
Transportation or “touches” is a Waste that refers to the movement of materials or information.
This could be the result of poor layout or poor planning. In the service industry, Transportation can refer to
moving information and services between people or departments. The more people there are who have to
“touch” the unit whether it’s for review, approval or reporting, the more time the process takes and the more
opportunity there is for errors.
!
!
!
!
!
In manufacturing, Transportation can result in physical damage to the product or materials.
Whether it results in Defects or delays, Transportation is also a potential Waste of money.
Can you think of some examples of the Waste of Transportation or “touches”?
Inventory
Inventory is another potential Waste. There was a time when Inventory was considered an asset, but storing
and holding Inventory costs money and is now considered a liability.
!
Long lead times for receiving products or information can cause cash Flow issues, especially if there is a lot of
money tied up in Inventory. The more Inventory you have, the more you have to count it, move it, clean it, and
store it. There are carrying costs to having too much Inventory. There is also the risk of obsolescence and
damage.
!
Inventory Waste also applies to ordering office supplies, such as having too many printer cartridges on hand or
having a year’s supply of paper. These might not be the right order quantities and could be adjusted to the
“right” amount.
!
Organizations such as car manufacturers and technology companies have adopted the Just-In-Time concept,
They order just the right amount at just the right time.

57"of"467
58. !
!
!
What are some examples of Inventory Waste?
Motion
The Waste of Motion refers to excessive movement involved in a given task. People can get confused between
the Waste of Transportation and the Waste of Motion.
!
Transportation is when the unit going through the process is moved around too much. Motion is when the
people that do the process move around too much.
!
Nurses provide a good example. On average, nurses walk 7-8 miles per day in their job. Significant
organizational efforts have been made by certain healthcare facilities to allow them to spend more time with
patients instead of walking around looking for supplies, wheelchairs or other needed items to do their job.
!
Workstation analysis helps identify the best way to organize the nursing station in order to minimize
unnecessary movement for nurses.
!
In general, excess Motion indicates that people are spending more time moving around and less time adding
value to their customers.
!
!
!
What are some other examples of the Waste of Motion?
Extra-Processing
The final Waste is excessive processing. This is most prevalent in administrative or non-manufacturing
processes.
!
Have you ever experienced a process that seemed overly complicated and thought to yourself, “There’s got to
be an easier way!”
!
!
Complex processes often have unnecessary and redundant steps that do not add value.
Processes are like junk drawers in the kitchen. If you don’t make a focused effort to clean it up every so often, it
just fills up with “stuff”. It’s the same for our processes. If we don’t make an effort to “spring clean” our processes
every once in a while, the process just gets bigger and messier.
!
!
What are some examples of the Waste of Extra-Processing?

67. 3.9 Once Waste Is Identified
A
Notes:
Once identified, there are 4 things you could do with Waste:
!
• Eliminate the cause of the Waste where possible
• Simplify the process or step that is creating the Waste
• Streamline - especially with complex processes
• And lastly, minimize the amount of Waste in the process
!
Working with a team to identify and reduce Waste can be a way to build confidence with quick wins for
improving processes.

A
Notes:
Let’s eliminate Waste at Bahama Bistro!
!
In this example, the team at Bahama Bistro has discovered the Waste of Waiting and the Waste of Motion from
moving back and forth from the stockroom. After assessing which were the high-volume items, the team laid
out the ingredients more strategically in order to reduce their movement. Now, sandwiches are produced faster
and customers have a shorter wait!

A
Notes:
So let’s recap. You know the definitions of all 8 Wastes, or “muda” as the Japanese say. You can identify Waste in
the workplace, and you have new ways to go about eliminating each of The 8 Wastes. You can see with new
eyes!.

4.1 Module: DMAIC Overview
A
Notes:
The 5 Phase method that underlies Lean Six Sigma is called DMAIC which stands for Define, Measure, Analyze,
Improve and Control. We’re going to look at each of these Phases in detail and learn about the tools and
techniques involved within each Phase.

A
Notes:
By the end of this module, you’ll gain a better understanding of where and when DMAIC can be applied to a
process. You’ll learn what DMAIC stands for, and you’ll get a bird’s eye view of the different Phases and their
activities.

78. 4.3 Why DMAIC?
A
Notes:
Since DMAIC is used to uncover the root cause of problems, it’s not the right method for implementing obvious
solutions to obvious problems. But if the cause of the problem is not entirely clear then DMAIC is a great choice.
It provides a step-by-step approach to investigate root causes to problems.
!
!
It’s a good choice in situations that require robust solutions to long-standing problems.

79. 4.4 DMAIC Methodology
A
Notes:
DMAIC is the Six Sigma methodology used to conduct root cause analysis.
!
This methodology is a variation of the original PDCA or “Plan, Do, Check, Act” methodology created by Walter
Shewhart and Edward Deming.
!
!
DMAIC stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve & Control.
During the Define Phase, the problem is outlined and scoped. It’s critical to define exactly which problem is
being addressed. Once the issue is defined, the customer requirements are clarified and a high-level map of the
process provides a picture of the basic process steps.
!
During the Measure Phase, the process is assessed for how well it meets the customer requirements outlined in
the Define Phase. Data collection is carefully planned and carried out so the process can be better understood.
!
Data analysis and process analysis characterize the main efforts of the Analyze Phase where the focus is

79"of"467
80. uncovering the root causes of Defects and other forms of Waste. The use of detailed Process Maps and different
methods of charting and graphing provide ways to develop and test hypotheses.
!
Once the root causes are identified, the project can move into the Improve Phase where solutions target the
Waste uncovered in the Analyze Phase. The goal is to improve the process Flow, remove root causes, mistakeproof the process and provide increased value to the customer.
!
The fifth Phase, Control, is critical to maintaining the gains achieved in the Improve Phase. Ongoing monitoring
and Documentation ensure that the DMAIC project continues to be a success.

100. 5.5 Why a Define Phase?
A
Notes:
The function of the Define Phase is to clearly establish the focus of the improvement project. It’s important to
spend time up-front to ensure that everyone involved in the project agrees on the issue, the goal and what
exactly is being addressed.
!
Just like the trajectory of a rocket ship - a lack of direction up front will lead the project off course down the
road.

103. 5.8 What Is a Project Charter?
A
Notes:
The Project Charter provides the opportunity to put down on paper exactly what’s going to be addressed, who’s
going to address it, what they estimate they’ll achieve and when they plan to achieve it.
!
You may not have all of the answers up front, but you’ll be able to fill some of that information throughout the
life of the project since the charter is a changeable, “living document.”

A
Notes:

considered a “just do it” project. The problem statement should provide a clear picture what is happening,
when it began along with the magnitude and consequence of the problem.

A
Notes:
As we mentioned, the Project Charter is a “living document.” This means that as we study the process and make
discoveries, we will continue to update the Project Charter to reflect our expanded understanding of the
process and the project. The Project Charter is also a great communication tool since there are bound to be
others interested in the progress of the project.

Notes:
Have you ever experienced a defect at a restaurant? At Bahama Bistro, an example of a defect would be a
customer who received a cup of decaf instead of a cappuccino. But even if the customer got what they ordered,
if they had to wait more than 20 minutes for a cappuccino that would also be a defect.

A
Notes:
The Voice Of The Customer is critical because it helps an organization decide where to focus improvement

meeting their customer requirements.

129. 5.25 Who Are Your Customers?
A
Notes:
Before we can identify our customers, we must first be clear on what we mean by customer.
!
There may be different types of customers for a given process and there may be internal customers of a
process. Internal customers are different from paying customers since they are our colleagues, but they are still
customers of the process.

130. 5.26 What Are Customer Requirements?
A
Notes:
Once you determine who receives the goods and services of a specific process, it’s time to determine what the
customer cares about. Customer concerns are general categories of requirements, as seen here. These are
examples of common customer concerns.

131. 5.27 Voice Of The Customer Example at Bahama Bistro
A
Notes:
Once the Voice Of The Customer is identified, continue to better understand the customer requirements by
converting comments or “cues” into requirements. In other words, make the comment measurable. Quantify in
numbers what the customer requirement is for that particular process.
!
For example, many processes have a customer requirement of Cycle Time, but for each process, the Cycle Time
requirement might be different.

132. 5.28 Who Are Your Stakeholders?
A
Notes:
Why is it important to know who the process stakeholders are? Stakeholders are not the customers of the
process, but you need their support and buy-in in order to ensure the success of your project.
!
It’s important to think about who might be impacted by changes you could make to the process and to reach
out to those groups and individuals to discuss the project plans. Stakeholders often have valuable input and
engaging them can help build their sense of ownership about eventual process improvements.
!
Some projects can fail due to a lack of internal acceptance. A little communication goes a long way toward
success!

137. 5.30 Voice Of the Customer: Learning Objective Summary
A
Notes:
So let’s recap:
!
Customers can be internal or external and listening to their voice helps us understand the requirements they
have of the process. These requirements are the focus of the problem statement and resulting goal of each
project.
!
Stakeholders are different from the customers of the process and consist of groups or individuals who might be
impacted by changes made to the process. Ensuring they are engaged in our project is critical in order to ensure
the acceptance and ultimate success of each project.

140. 5.33 What is a SIPOC?
A
Notes:
The SIPOC is a high level Process Map. It might sound something like the “Son of Spock”, but it’s actually an
acronym that stands for Suppliers, Inputs, Process, Outputs, and Customers. It’s a one page map that outlines
what comes into and out of the process, who supplies inputs and who receives the goods and services as a
result.
!
!
We will use the SIPOC througout the project as we build our understanding of the process.

141. 5.34 SIPOC Example at Bahama Bistro:
Lunch Order to Delivery
A
Notes:
In this high-level map of Bahama Bistro we can see a lot of suppliers, but if we follow the first one, it’s the
patrons who supply orders as inputs to the process.
!
Once the order is placed there are six high-level steps that take place. A member of the staff takes the order, it’s
delivered to the kitchen, the order is prepped and cooked, then it’s packaged or plated and finally it’s delivered.
The delivered lunch order is the output and it’s received by the patron.
!
There are other suppliers to the process such as the grocery or the vendors providing food ingredients. And
there are the sources of paper plates and other packaging products.
!
At the lower right you can see the customer requirements of the lunch order including how fast they expect
delivery, how hot they’d like the soup and that they want the order they asked for. Having this information on
one page provides key information to the project team.

Notes:
There are other forms of maps created within the DMAIC process depending on the type of project. These are
examples of a few of the different ways to map a process that are outlined in Green Belt Training.

148. 5.38 SIPOC: Learning Objectives Summary
A
Notes:
So let’s recap:
!
The SIPOC is a simple but powerful high-level map that puts the end-to-end process on one page. There are a
clear set of questions that help Yellow Belts build a SIPOC for each project, and SIPOCs include the high-level
steps, the process outputs along with the key customer requirements of those outputs.
!
!
We’ll revisit the SIPOC throughout the DMAIC Phases.

149. 5.39 Update the Project Charter: Reducing the Cycle Time at Bahama
Bistro
!
A
Notes:
After Completing Define, the Bahama Bistro team had some updates to their Project Charter.
!
1. The estimated date to complete Define was January 14th. The team finished on January 18th, so the team
updated the date on the Project Charter. The team is on track to start Measure.
2. The team forgot to include a host and a busboy as part of the team. The team lead updated the team
members on the Project Charter.
3. Voice Of The Customer indicated that the Goal Statement should change in order to reflect the customer
requirement. The original goal was to deliver lunch orders in under 35 minutes. Now, that Voice Of The
Customer data has been gathered, it’s clear that customers prefer to have salads, sandwiches, and soups in
under 16 minutes and entrees in under 20 minutes. We have updated the Project Charter to reflect the true
customer requirements.
4. In terms of scope, the chef asked if we were going to be looking at our food vendors processes or delivery

150. schedule and the team decided that at this time, supplier processes and delivery schedules are out of scope.
5. It’s also a good practice to document the project progress by Phase. The team should document the Define
Phase work, so that they have the raw material for developing the project Storyboard.

156. 5.40 Define Phase Challenges
A
Notes:
In each Phase of DMAIC there are a few areas that might require more effort. Make sure you have a clear
commitment from the project sponsor and the team members to work on the project. Make sure everyone is
agreed on the charter and that no one is using the project as a way to implement their pre-conceived notion of
a solution.
!
You may need more people on the team than initially thought, but if it’s more than 6 or 7 it starts to resemble a
sports team so be careful not to over pack. It’s also okay to work the project on your own, just make sure you
reach out to your stakeholders and subject matter experts as soon as possible for support.

162. 5.43 Define Phase: Learning Objectives Summary
A
Notes:
So let’s recap:
!
Define is the foundational Phase of an improvement project where the problem or opportunity is clarified, the
customer and their requirements are defined, and the SIPOC provides a high-level view of the process to be
improved. Like the initial trajectory of a rocket ship, it’s key to get the project outlined and scoped properly up
front so that the project goes in the right direction.
!
!
Once we have the project defined, it’s time to move on to the Measure Phase!
