TL;DR: The paper shows a measured procedure for the leanness of the production process based on a two-step portfolio analysis, consisting of a portfolio analysis of leanness for a production system and of a Lean Six Sigma process.
Abstract: Customers require short delivery times and high quality products. Both requirements of customers can only be met if a company switches from a classically organized to a Lean Six Sigma production. Based on a value stream analysis that shows the size of the lead time and of process efficiency, overall equipment effectiveness and process efficiency allow us to determine a leanness index of a production process. The paper shows a measured procedure for the leanness of the production process based on a two-step portfolio analysis, consisting of a portfolio analysis of leanness for a production system and of a Lean Six Sigma process. The value of the leanness index and sigma process value in fact show the leanness of a six sigma production process. Portfolio analyses of leanness of the production process and the leanness of the Six Sigma process are shown in an example of the production of cooling covers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate how Lean Six Sigma can be effectively applied to engineering education and demonstrate that students spend less time on their subjects during normal lecturing weeks than the time they do on their work during test weeks.
Abstract: Since the implementation of Lean Six Sigma in higher education is not widely spread, this paper illustrates how Lean Six Sigma can be effectively applied to engineering education. The results of this paper indicate that students spend less time on their subjects during normal lecturing weeks than the time they do on their work during test weeks; therefore there is a need to increase student engagement during normal lecturing weeks. Group work and Elearning has been proposed as a solution for student engagement. The standardization of this solution has been proposed as a control measure to sustain the improvements. Implementation of the proposed solution increased the throughput of one of the subjects from 38% in 2009 to 71% in 2010.

TL;DR: A framework for optimizing the production processes by identification of the wastes in shop floor management is developed and can reduce processing time, production time, and production costs as well as improve the quality level.
Abstract: In the production process, waste elimination on the shop floor is an essential task to increase production levels. Various approaches like kaizen, total quality management, six sigma, and lean six sigma are used for this purpose; however, lean management proves itself a prominent approach to achieve a high level of productivity. This information paves the way for the present study. In this article, the authors attempted to develop a framework for optimizing the production processes by identification of the wastes in shop floor management. The results of the study showed that the developed framework can reduce processing time, production time, and production costs as well as improve the quality level. The novelty of this work lies in the fact that the implementation of the developed framework has been lead to optimization and improvement in production on the shop floor. On the basis of acquired results, authors strongly believe that the present work will be highly beneficial for industry persons and researchers to improve shop floor management.
