Lean and Six Sigma
PMC Solutions offers a wide range of process improvement services to help you
change the way you do business, reduce waste, save time, and eliminate errors.
We focus on using the best applicable tools from industry, especially Lean and
Six Sigma methodologies, to assist our clients to transform their business
processes. Companies have saved billions of dollars by implementing these
methodologies over the years, most notably Toyota (Lean) and GE (Six Sigma).
Lean methodology focuses on reducing waste and decreasing cycle time. Lean uses
tools such as Value Stream Mapping, Takt Time, Just-in-Time inventory, Quality
Function Deployment, and Kaizen events. Six Sigma focuses on reducing variation
and errors within a process (rejects, returns, waste, etc.). Six Sigma follows
the five steps of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) to
drill down into a process to solve root causes. Tools such as Process Mapping,
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Data Plans, statistical tools (histograms,
Pareto charts, regression analysis, hypothesis testing), Fishbone diagrams, and
solution matrices are all tools used in Six Sigma projects. PMC Solutions
incorporates both methodologies to first get rid of waste to increase speed and
then reduce errors and variation.
