How would you apply LSS to the following situation? What is the exact problem being solved? What the purpose of the Lean Six Sigma methodology? Discuss in details the methodologies to be used, the tools and the expected outcome. The manufacturing process has four different operations to manufacture a component. One of operations stations has a high time of set up and it is unsatisfactory compared to other machines of the same function. The consequence of this is stopping the ideal flow from operations in the process (lead time). The relevance of the project is centered on two factors.: cost and time factors that have a direct impact on profits of industry. The cost of the process, in low profitability situation, was estimated at around $2,000,000/year and the total operating time of 539400 min/year. If the machine was optimized, reducing its time b approximately 15%, while the total time of the procedure would decrease around 8%. Th production would require 496240 min/year and the cost would decrease to $ 1,800,000 year resulting in approximately $ 200,000.00 saving in the year.
