Lean Six Sigma for Research & Development (R&D)
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) has been successfully implemented in the Research & Development (R&D) for difference industries such as medical devices, pharmaceutical, consumer electonics, automotive, aerospace etc.
The following are some examples of LSS applicability:
– reducing the time to market
– reducing rework through synergy between R&D and the customer facing staff
– improving the overall performance & quality of product from start
– minimizing product failures by ensuring robust designs
– improving quality of research process & experiments by providing mass education in Experimental design and Multivariate studies
– improving quality of design reviews (data driven reviews)
– reducing defects in final product thereby saving on warranty costs
Lean Six Sigma has also been implemented in many different industries with great success. Some of the industries are as follows:
- Lean Six Sigma in Manufacturing
- Lean Six Sigma in Service Industry
- Lean Six Sigma in Shared Service Centres (SSC)
- Lean Six Sigma in Continuous Process Industry
- Lean Six Sigma in Government / Public Sector
There are many useful Lean Six Sigma tools within the the LSS toolbox. However, for LSS implantation to be successful, do not focus only on the tools but instead strike a balance between two important components of LSS – technical tools as well as soft skills.
