| Summary: | The purpose of this paper is to show the root causes, result, challenges and
implementation of lean six sigma implementation in Company D, which is one
of the IT service companies in Malaysia. Lean Six Sigma implemented in
Company D with the purpose of finding the root causes of bad service, high cost,
low morale and productivity. DMAIC methodology was used in this study.
Fishbone diagram and survey was used to find out the current issue and a list of
improvement plans were proposed to the management. Interview was conducted
after the implementation to review its effectiveness. The top 3 root causes found
through fishbone diagram and FMEA are, management, operation and engineers.
The study shows only minor improvements as there was a lack of support and
commitment from the management. However, the study proved that Lean Six
Sigma implementation in the IT service sector brings positive outcomes even
though there were only minor improvements due to the lack of support and
commitment from management. Suggestions were provided for further study in
order to optimize the successfulness of Lean Six Sigma implementation. (Abstract by author) |
