Reducing Defects with Lean Six Sigma

The Master Black Belt led a Lean Six Sigma project to reduce defects in the manufacturing line. The team identified excessive waste and variability as primary issues, resulting in a 15% defect rate. By implementing standardized work procedures and waste elimination techniques, they reduced defects to 5%. This improvement enhanced product quality and increased customer satisfaction. The project saved the company approximately INR 10 lacs annually by minimizing rework and scrap costs.
