The Lean Six Sigma approaches combine both technical features - implementation of Lean and Six Sigma methodologies - and social and organizational features. This means the same teamwork, empowerment and performance management culture must be deployed throughout the entire organization.
This approach cannot be improvised, but requires a real strategic desire driven by a clear vision of the changes an organization must go through: an organizational development plan, the definition of operational processes, leadership development, the use of benchmarks at every level and the implementation of operating standards.
The Lean Organization
In today’s world, an effective organization can no longer operate within a traditional structure of the Top-Down type, but must bring together all the levels of an organization to pursue a mission supported by a common vision, with performance benchmarks in place that are appropriate for each level. It frees the energy of its teams by developing empowerment among operational employees, supported by management; all this within a structured framework focused on the business and clearly defined objectives. A common culture (set of habits everyone shares) is thereby developed.
