The document introduces Lean Six Sigma Optimization (LSSO) as a structured approach to consistently meet customer needs through eliminating waste and reducing variability. LSSO draws from techniques developed since the 1930s including Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, and Business Process Reengineering. Examples of companies optimizing processes through LSS include Federal Express, Lens Crafters, and Southwest Airlines.
Cycle Time Optimization (CTO) is a philosophy that aims to maximize efficient value-adding activities and minimize non-value adding activities and time to improve quality, cost, and responsiveness to customers. It involves analyzing processes to reduce unnecessary steps, bottlenecks, errors and variability. The key aspects of CTO are identifying value and non-value adding activities, setting priorities, performing activities in parallel, establishing feedback systems, and continuously optimizing processes.
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a structured method to ensure customer expectations are best satisfied by optimizing designs, materials, and processes based on customer feedback. QFD utilizes matrices to determine customer requirements, design requirements to meet those needs, and how well different options address the requirements to optimize decisions for new products, services, or designs. QFD has benefits like shortest cycle times, best quality, and highest customer satisfaction when implemented effectively through a cross-functional team approach.

Learn how to leverage LinkedIn for your small business! This presentation (presented as part of an Astek Academy Webinar) shows you how to optimize your LinkedIn Profile to be found online and to engage with your existing clients/partners through one of the most powerful social media platforms in existence!
Over the years the systematic ADDIE process has proven successful in design and development of learning. However with the Agile approach growing in popularity, ADDIE is being perceived to be too “organised” and “slow” in today’s world of swift change and quick results. Moreover, evidence suggests that the push for Agile has made a relatively small dent on the popularity of ADDIE. Agile is radically different from ADDIE (waterfall approach) and hence demands a different skill and mind set.
In this online discussion we talk to a panel comprising of Agile specialists and Learning Designers.
