Hacer bien las cosas cuando se necesitan, sin prisas pero sin pausas, una versión española del Lean Six Sigma

Abstract

At this stage of the economic crisis that has affected all global economies, in Spain more deeply than in other countries, it has made us ask ourselves if our production system as a country is competitive or efficient compared with other countries in our same level. I think the answer is clear, NO. In one way or another many companies in Spain, most SMEs have sought in domestic savings, the best way to become efficient and productive enterprises. Some unfortunately, took the path of retrenchment directly, and others chose to be analyzed internally to see where they were "losing money". This way has enabled them to balance their margin to make positive or generate a greater margin their activity. There are several methods that have been implemented in Spain as a tool to optimize production processes in companies, Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma, and in a greater degree the first than the second one. Similarly, and as exceptional cases it has tried to implement a mixed philosophy, Lean Six Sigma. But are Spanish SMEs prepared to implement these philosophies or methodologies?, Lean Six Sigma works?, has been implemented the Lean Six Sigma in other countries different to Spain?.
