The impact of the implementation of Lean Six Sigma principles on the efficiency of business processes and reduction of production costs

this article examines the impact of Lean Six Sigma implementation on business process efficiency and production cost reduction using the example of a specific manufacturing enterprise specializing in metalwork production. The DMAIC methodology, identification and quantitative assessment of losses were used in the analysis of the enterprise’s activities, and the economic effect of changes implementation was presented, including risk and potential problem analysis. The use of the methodology allows identifying losses and problems, the elimination of which significantly affects the activities of an industrial enterprise. The article discusses both successes and challenges associated with the implementation of Lean Six Sigma, and offers recommendations for improving the efficiency of such projects. The use of existing standards and their critical analysis allows adjusting the quality of business processes in relation to the modern business conditions of an industrial enterprise. The use of other logistics tools together with Lean Six Sigma allows adjusting the enterprise’s activities to obtain a high-quality result, and allowed identifying measures that optimize, rationalize and save the enterprise’s material and financial resources. Reducing the level of defects, increasing productivity and reducing costs indicate the success of Lean Six Sigma.
