What is the difference between lean manufacturing and lean six sigma and how it is showing effect to start a company?
Hi Sagar,
I am Business man and going to start a new automobile industry so i have used the lean manufacturing method. Lean manufacturing and Lean Six Sigma is different from one another. Lean manufacturing uses the technique of 3M i.e Muri, Mura and Muda where Muri refers to process preparation, Mura refers to elimination of mistakes and Muda refers to the elimination of unnecessary things after the production of product like transport, Inventory, Motion, Waiting, Overloading, Overprocessing and Defects .Lean six sigma is a combination of lean manufacturing and six sigma which is a removal waste it uses Muda concept here. Lean six sigma has an organization structure first Black belt refers to project leader, second Green belt refers to the DMAIC, tools usage and lean applications, and third Yellow belt refers to the Lean Six Sigma awareness. While starting a company it is best to use lean manufacturing. I hope this information is helpful to you !!
