8. Why Define a Process as a Value Stream?
A Value Stream
Focuses attention on what is important for the customer.
Identifies all the necessary components to bring a product or
service from conception to commercialization.
Identifies waste inherent in processes and works to remove
it.
Reduces defects in products and deficiencies in processes.
Focuses on improving specs and cost.

9. What Is Typically Found
Lean Value Stream Management starts with defining
value in terms of products and process capabilities
to provide the customer with what they need at the
right time and at an appropriate price.

10. The Eight Wastes
adapted from Taiichi Ohno
1. Overproduction—making or doing more than is required or
earlier than needed.
2. Waiting—for information, materials, people, maintenance, etc.
3. Transport—moving people or goods around or between sites.
4. Poor process design—too many/too few steps, non-
standardization, inspection rather than prevention, etc.
5. Inventory—raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods,
papers, electronic files, etc.
6. Motion—inefficient layouts or poor ergonomics at work-
stations or in offices.
7. Defects—errors, scrap, rework, non-conformance.
8. Underutilized personnel resources and creativity—ideas
that are not listened to, skills that are not utilized.

16. Lean Project Attributes
Simply stated: “Lean is about moving the Mean.” It
focuses on efficiency.
Lean reduces average cycle time.
Lean reduces excess inventory.
Lean improves average response time.

17. Six Sigma Attributes
Simply stated: “Six Sigma is about Reducing Variation.” It
focuses on Effectiveness. The mean will most likely also be
improved.

20. Which Technique to Begin With?
It is often advantageous to begin with Lean projects.
– These are easier to understand and implement.
Begin with streamlining processes and Rapid Improvement
Events.
– This gets the operation in good order.
– Chronic problems are now easier to deal with.
– “Low Hanging Fruit” is eaten.
Next, select Six Sigma projects

21. Lean Projects
Use Lean when you are trying to streamline any process and
reduce process waste.
Improve assembly line throughput
Reduction in Finished Goods Inventory
Reduce the time to process new proposals
Reduce machine setup time
Improve order processing time
Lean vs. Six Sigma 21 .PPT All Rights Reserved, Juran Institute, Inc.
22. Six Sigma Projects
Use Six Sigma where process metrics are more difficult to
collect or understand, and project success requires analysis of
multiple input factors (Xs). These are often chronic problems.
Improve yield on a continuously running machine
Reduce defects on a machine with multiple inputs and
machine settings
Reduce the amount of wait time for a call center
Improve the number of quality new hires

23. Mixed Projects
What happens when you start a Six Sigma Project and it turns
into a Lean project?
It is all about the correct tools.
Use the Lean tools for project success.
What happens if a Lean project turns into Six Sigma?
Depending when this is discovered, it may mean going
back to utilize some Six Sigma tools before proceeding.
