TL;DR: The presented LSS application can be adapted to similar water bottling processes as well as other industrial applications and highlights the complementary role of lean efficiency and Six Sigma quality.
Abstract: This paper presents an application of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodology to improve the performance of a water bottling process. The LSS method is widely applied across the manufacturing sector with the aim of increasing the efficiency of production processes and instituting continuous improvement. The five stages of the Six Sigma Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) process and the relevant lean techniques were adapted to resolve specific efficiency and quality issues within the water bottling process. The LSS application has resulted in multiples process improvements including a decrease in reported errors and defective bottles, an increase in compliance with established standards and guidelines, and a reduced process lead time. This paper addresses the practical aspects of LSS application to water bottling and highlights the complementary role of lean efficiency and Six Sigma quality. The presented LSS application can be adapted to similar water bottling processes as well as other industrial applications.

TL;DR: This article has discussed establishing measures, and given some examples of measures within the financial industry, and shared some tools, such as the SIPOC, measures matrix, and how to clarify your customer’s needs.
Abstract: Measuring the performance of your processes is the first step in transforming your business. If you do not know something about your business, then you cannot improve it. I believe you should have measures in place for understanding your business performance all the time. They should be continuously measured, and whenever possible put on some type of control or metric chart which allows you to monitor trends that are occurring. When you have these measures, you can then make improvements whenever it is determined that you have a gap between where the processes are performing and where you need to be performing to compete. In this article, I have discussed establishing those measures, and given some examples of measures within the financial industry. I have also shared some tools, such as the SIPOC, measures matrix, and how to clarify your customer’s needs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the most critical and latent issues of modern ERP functioning of Delhi-NCR companies (with meager income and resources) were explored by conducting exploratory factor analysis (EFA) through SPSS 18.0.
Abstract: One of the finest blends of business and information technology reflects in Enterprise Resource Planning which faces the tough challenge of ‘misfit’ disparity between the required and delivered payback. Since all manufacturing and service industries are paying attention on improving business processes, eliminating waste and reducing costs, they really focus on three different tools in the form of ERP, Lean and Six Sigma to support their efforts. Mostly SMEs employ ERP as absolute all-inclusive solution; LSS consultants acknowledge the fact that up to 30-70% of the costs in a service business are frittered away. After disposing this waste, costs can be reduced; revenue growth promoted and faster of customer’s grievance will take place with right attitude. This research attempts to explore the most critical and latent issues of modern ERP functioning of Delhi-NCR companies (with meager income and resources) by conducting exploratory factor analysis (EFA) through SPSS 18.0. Afterwards, each emerged construct scrutinized for reliability analysis for Next-Gen ERP to the User’s, Vendor’s and Consultants’ upmost guidance.

TL;DR: The modified DMAIC II(define-measure-analyze-control) to reform the medical materials management process was transformed successfully and is a very useful implement to process reengineering and worth widening.
Abstract: Objective:Through using the Lean Six Sigma Theory to improve the processes of supplying medical materials,reduce its cost and improve the service efficiency.Method:Using the modified DMAIC II(define-measure-analyze-control) to reform the medical materials management process.Result: The medical materials management process was transformed successfully.Conclusion: It is a very useful implement to process reengineering and worth widening.
