Lean Implementation Lean Six Sigma Case Report

You should prepare and submit a written report of 4-6 double-spaced pages, typed. The
report should describe: what motivated the organization to implement Lean/Six-Sigma; what the
organization did specifically; and what were the results (benefits, problems). Focus on one or
two specific projects or areas where lean production or six-sigma were implemented by
the organization. Give details of what was done, how it was done, what obstacles were
encountered and how they were overcome, and what measurable/quantitative benefits were
achieved specifically from the lean implementation or specific lean projects; measurable/
quantitative results are especially important. DO NOT tell me that the sources did not
provide enough information to give details of the implementation: select an organization for
which there are details available; use multiple sources, if necessary/possible (use articles,
books, parts of books, interviews, company web sites, etc. as sources of information). Give a
detailed list (citations) of all sources used. DO NOT provide the organization’s income
statement or income history and imply that growth was due to lean/six-sigma; just provide the
measurable benefits that can be specifically attributable to lean/six-sigma.
DO NOT simply provide a general overview of the organization’s lean production
program or the history of lean production in the organization; I want to see details of one or
two specific implementations/projects. This report should be IN YOUR WORDS; do not
simply piece together quotes from various sources. You should synthesize and organize the
information and present it in a clear manner.
