That’s where the role of lean manufacturing emerges, Bodek,( 2004).Lean manufacturing enables an organization to have a continuous improvement in production leading to lowering the cost with better quality.

According to Feigenbaum (1990) quality management practices create a link between SQM and employees ‘performance results in formation of a competitive edge for an organization. The success at an operational level can only be attainable by having a proper designed technology and sufficient exploitation of human resources with a given capacity. The sustainable competitive advantage requires capitalizing in employees by developing required strategic training programs.

However, studies have shown that over the past decade applying Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma can create problems for companies financially and potential problems for employees. Companies should take great care before implementing a Lean Six Sigma solution because in some instances, going lean can do more harm than good both financially for the organization as well as destroying employee loyalty and moral.

  • Analysis Of The Malcomb Baldrige National Quality Award

    1030 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the mid 1980s, and into the 1990s, business leaders realized that a renewed focus on quality was required to continue to compete in an expanding global market. (NIST, 2010) Consequently, several strategic frameworks were developed for managing, and measuring organizational performance. Among them were the Malcomb Baldrige National Quality Award, which was created by and act of congress and signed into law by the President in 1987, and The Balanced Scorecard, which is a performance management tool that was born out of research conducted in the late 1980s and early 1990s by Robert S. Kaplan, and David P. Norton published in 1996 (Kaplan, 1996).

  • Analysis Of Total Quality Management

    1040 Words  | 3 Pages

    Zatzick, Moliterno, and Fang (2012) write that Total Quality Management “TQM primarily focuses on increasing inefficiencies and improving processes, particularly when implemented in manufacturing organizations” (p.1322). Deming (1988) writes that American companies do not work steadily towards process improvement. He feels that management should be consistent with its efforts to improve upon the quality of its products. Beer (2003) views TQM as an ongoing process in order to ensure product excellence. TQM has the ability to change the companies’ culture and work processes. Quality management is a long term process. These changes usually require new initiatives. Deming (1998) explains how the Japanese are at an advantage because they are not beholden to stakeholders. Japanese companies are able to concentrate on their employees. This type of environment encourages trust between workers and management. Beer (2003) feels that TQM involves “multiple stakeholder philosophy that equally values community, customers, and employees (p.624). Team work and collaboration are a big part of the TQM philosophy.

  • Lean Management

    674 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are multiple ways to combine the individual practices to represent the multi-dimensional nature of lean manufacturing. In combining these practices, the researcher has to compete with the technique used to combine and the actual content of the combinations. The dominant method in operations management literature has been to use exploratory or confirmatory factor analysis to combine individual practices in a multiplicative function to form orthogonal and unidimensional factors (Flynn et al., 1995; Cua et al., 2001; Shah & Goldstein, 2006). A review of research from organization theory, and labour and human resource management shows less reliance on factor analysis and offers multiple ways for combining individual practices and creating an index. One such method is the additive index used by Osterman (1994) and MacDuffie (1995) in developing “bundles” of interrelated human-resource management practices.
