In today’s competitive and globalization environment, it is necessary for companies to provide utmost satisfaction to customers by giving them the final product according to their taste and in less lead time. For achieving this, it is necessary for companies to implement a successfully proven methodology that can not only help them in achieving the objectives mentioned above but also helps them in being a competitive position in the market. Lean Six Sigma is such a methodology that helps in eliminating waste, increasing the speed and removing defects and reducing variation. It is a combination of lean tools and six sigma values and cultures. Certain lean tools such as TPM, 5S, Kanban, Kaizen and six sigma methodologies such as DMAIC are used in achieving the companies’goals.
