Lean six sigma minimizes process variations and product or service defects by using statistical techniques and tools to identify and implement changes in the working of the business process to make it effective and efficient. These techniques and methodologies if applied in a structured manner can improve any company’s performance. Lean six sigma eliminates wastes and defects and reduces resources’ usage if everyday business activities are designed and monitored closely. It provides techniques and tools which improve the performance and capability of any business and provides efficient manpower cultivation and utilization.
The application and usage of the seven basic tools in a Lean Six Sigma process- cause and effect diagram, check sheet, control chart, scatter diagram, histogram , Pareto chart, scatter diagram and stratification together help in identifying the defects and keeping a close eye on the functioning of the ongoing business process that further helps in aligning key business processes to achieve those requirements, understanding and managing customer requirements and also, driving rapid and sustainable improvement to business processes. The sigma scale is perfectly correlated to characteristics such as defects per unit, parts per million defective and probability of a failure or error. This clearly shows the scope and way for further improvement by indicating the flaw in the process, if any.
Six Sigma models like DMAIC AND DMADV are used extensively to improve the existing processes and employ the new products, respectively. Applying Lean Six Sigma in textile industry reduces rejections in shipments, eliminates defects or errors, improves merchandiser performance, improves supplier evaluation processes that are extremely important and first sample approval percentages while working with a buyer. Using 6s methodologies also improves processes at the source (including embroidery, packing, stitching, and shipping) to reduce rejections later. Proper implementation of six sigma in the textile industry can reduce the garment cost, get higher production and that too with good quality. Textile industry deals with a lot of variation and defects and is, therefore, the exact place for six sigma application.
