Six Sigma Design and Innovation

About

Six Sigma has developed largely in parallel with and complementary to Lean Enterprise theory and methods. This is often referred to as ‘Lean Six Sigma’, where innovation in design of products, production processes and services are addressed through a ‘lean lens’, which is highly resource sensitive, or a ‘lean and green’ lens, which, additionally, embeds social and ecological considerations and where ‘algorithms’ are used e.g. relying on the DMAIC process (define, measure, analyse, improve, control).

Integrated design, innovation and lean approaches provide highly structured and complementary strategies for acquiring, assessing and activating customer, competitor and enterprise intelligence that lead to superior product/services, systems or enterprise innovation and designs that are intended to meet and surpass stakeholder expectations, thus driving an enterprise’s quest for a sustainable competitive advantage. This is accomplished through strategic linkage of customer-driven, highly resource-efficient approaches that yield nearly perfectly performing processes and products.
