History of LEAN Six Sigma

The Deming Revolution

The journey of Lean Six Sigma began with Walter A. Shewhart’s concept of Statistical Process Control (SPC) in the early 20th century. However, it was W. Edwards Deming who, during World War II, harnessed these principles to revolutionize the production of war equipment in the United States. By implementing SPC, Deming significantly improved both the quality and production speed, laying the groundwork for future quality improvement methodologies. This era underscored the critical impact of quality control and continuous improvement on operational success, setting a precedent for Lean Six Sigma.

Deming’s Japanese Legacy

After World War II, Deming’s invitation to Japan marked a pivotal shift in global manufacturing practices. In the late 1940s and 1950s, he introduced quality improvement techniques to Japanese manufacturers, emphasizing the role of management in fostering quality. His teachings led to the development of the kaizen philosophy and quality circles, which became central to Japan’s manufacturing strategy. The transformation contributed to Japan’s reputation for high-quality products, demonstrating the power of quality improvement and continuous improvement processes.

Japanese Master Quality

By the 1970s, Japan had mastered quality improvement, with companies like Toyota and Sony leading the way in global markets. The success of Japanese products, renowned for their superior quality, was a testament to the effectiveness of continuous improvement and quality-focused manufacturing practices. This era highlighted the strategic advantage of integrating quality improvement with lean manufacturing, setting a new benchmark for industrial excellence.

Toyota Production System (TPS)

Toyota’s integration of Deming’s quality principles with Henry Ford’s lean tools gave birth to the Toyota Production System (TPS). TPS introduced groundbreaking concepts such as Just-In-Time production and Jidoka, revolutionizing manufacturing efficiency and quality. Toyota’s implementation of TPS led to a 60% reduction in manufacturing errors and a 50% decrease in production costs, showcasing the tangible benefits of merging lean and Six Sigma methodologies.

Motorola and Global Lean Six Sigma

In the 1980s, Motorola transformed the TPS principles into the modern Lean Six Sigma methodology, addressing its own quality and competition challenges. The development of the Six Sigma methodology, particularly the DMAIC process, offered a structured approach to eliminating defects and improving quality. Motorola’s initial implementation of Six Sigma resulted in over $16 billion in savings, illustrating Lean Six Sigma’s capacity for driving significant operational improvements and cost reductions. Today, Lean Six Sigma’s adoption across various industries worldwide stands as a testament to its effectiveness in achieving continuous improvement, operational excellence, and substantial financial benefits.
