Assignment:
Fundamentals of Lean Six Sigma
Task
Working in groups, typically consisting of four to five, you will be asked to produce a critical literature review (report) and presentation on the area of Lean Six Sigma and other related management concept (topics for investigation will be specified by the class lecturer). This will involve searching, gathering and studying the areas of work and developing a coherent summary covering all the main issues and recent developments in the area.
The findings from your study are to be presented in a report and a PowerPoint presentation. The report should;
Discuss the concept of Lean and Six Sigma in the context of the topic selected identifying recent developments in the field;
Compare and contrast the concept under investigation to determine if there are any synergies or discords, e.g. what are the key stages involved, issues, approaches, and solutions?
Identify relevant tools and techniques that might support implementation. You could refer to the tools contained in the DMAIC toolkit but we would prefer it if teams could focus on additional techniques not covered in class found through your research. (Justification for selection is essential)
Provide practical examples of application within an organisational context;
