Roadmap

The Lean Six Sigma System (LSSS) follows a simple principle: Build excellent quality, then make it efficient to produce. Quality is the reason customers buy — and the reason they stay. Efficiency is how the business delivers that quality reliably and profitably.

Most companies separate these two ideas. They build a quality system to satisfy customer requirements, and they use Lean Six Sigma to reduce cost. But the real value comes when both work together.

This roadmap shows how LSSS brings them together to create Excellence Beyond Compliance.

1. Build a Strong Quality System

Everything starts with quality. A clear, ISO‑based quality system creates consistency, trust, and confidence — the things customers value most.

Focus areas:

• Define and document processes

• Establish standards and controls

• Set up audits and corrective actions

This foundation ensures the product is excellent and reliable.

2. Measure What Matters

To improve quality, you need to understand how the system performs.

This includes:

• Identifying key quality and performance metrics

• Establishing baselines

• Making results visible to the team

Good data helps you protect quality and spot opportunities.

3. Apply Lean to Improve Flow

Once quality is stable, Lean tools help make the process easier, faster, and less wasteful — without sacrificing quality.

Examples:

• 5S

• Process mapping

• Waste elimination

Lean makes the quality system more efficient to operate.

4. Use Six Sigma to Reduce Variation

Variation is the enemy of consistent quality. Six Sigma tools help strengthen the process so excellent quality is delivered every time.

Focus areas:

• Root cause analysis

• Basic data analysis

• Problem‑solving

This step protects the quality your customers expect.

5. Build Team Capability

Quality and efficiency last only when people know how to improve their own work.

Support includes:

• Coaching

• Simple training

• Daily problem‑solving skills

This builds a culture where quality and improvement go hand in hand.

6. Sustain and Grow

The final step is keeping the system healthy and continuously improving.

This includes:

• Regular reviews

• Updating processes

• Expanding improvements

This is how organizations achieve excellent quality that is efficient to produce — the combination that attracts new customers and keeps existing ones loyal.
