Value Stream

This paper purpose is to investigate the benefits of Lean Six Sigma to the Malaysian automotive industry. Lean is an approach that seeks to improve flow in the value stream and eliminate waste. It’s about doing things quickly. Six Sigma uses a powerful framework (DMAIC) and statistical tools to uncover root causes to understand and reduce variation. It’s about doing things right (defect free). As global competition continues to grow, the pressure to improve becomes more andmore intense. Thus, a combination of both Lean and Six Sigma is born. This method provides an over-arching improvement philosophy that incorporates powerful data-driven tools to solve problems and create rapid transformational improvement at lower cost. Thus, this paper also tries to examine how the Lean Six Sigma can contribute and brings a positive impact to the automotive industry in Malaysia.

Lean Six Sigma has found wide spread applications in Industry with many benefits. However, its use in academics is limited. In this paper, we propose how Lean Six Sigma can be applied in University environment and many benefits can be observed in cost savings, quality and performance. The application of DMAIC approach of Lean Six Sigma to academics is illustrated with examples and case studies. The processes and practices in Universities and Educational Institutions are identified which can directly benefit from Lean Six Sigma.

Time Gap

The development of the automotive industry in Indonesia made the level of competition even tighter, so Auto2000 Setiabudhi tried to provide periodic maintenance services, especially for the replacement of New Avanza Veloz disc brakes. The purpose of this study was to reduce the processing time of the New Avanza Veloz disc brake replacement to increase the Auto2000 Setiabudhi service level. However, the results of observations found that the time for disc brake replacement was exceeded the requirements set by the company. The observation was carried out for two years, from 2017 to 2018. Obtained also information from observations that there was an increase in the processing time gap of 0.84%, an increase in service level gap of 5.17%, while waste that occurred was waste waiting and motion. The method used in this study is based on Lean Six Sigma. The results obtained after improvements were made to a reduction in processing time by 50%, reduction in waste waiting, and motion and the achievement of service levels by 100%.

Failure Factors

Purpose During the past few decades, Lean Six Sigma (LSS) in the health-care sector has received increasing attention from both researchers and practitioners because it plays an imperative role in quality improvement and cost reduction initiatives. Although researchers have often focussed on evidence of model effectiveness through the study of performance indicators, too little attention has been given to the factors that lead to implementation failure and the causal relationships among them. This study aims to investigate the factors that may inhibit the successful implementation of the method by focussing on Italian public hospitals. Design/methodology/approach Through the use of the Delphi technique and fuzzy cognitive maps, this paper derives new and relevant results for researchers, hospital managers and policymakers. Findings The results show the factors with the greatest impact on LSS implementation and provide insight into the causal links and degrees of influence between critical failure factors and performance variables. Practical implications The findings could be considered useful, in particular, to hospital managers and policymakers, who could leverage the suggestions derived from the study to address LSS implementation. Originality/value This work overcomes a gap in the literature related to the absence of studies on the causal relationships between factors that determine the success or failure of LSS implementation.
