Abstract

The study sought to explore the impact of the approved approach of application of Lean and Six Sigma, which focuses on improving quality and reducing lead-time, and removing waste in the supply chain. As this integration of both applications is suitable for small and medium-sized companies (SMEs), the manager of company X wishes to solve its problems in lead time and transportation costs. The paper used the application of Lean and Six Sigma within the DMAIC stages.(define, measure, analyse, improve, control) The study also aims to take advantage of the stages through careful application of them to achieve the best results of reducing lead time and removing waste.
