Roll-out of LSS in retail logistics
This work provides a practical and detailed description of the Lean Six Sigma (LSS) approach, while also making it understandable for laypeople. It aims to offer a roadmap and insights by demonstrating the introduction of this concept into the trade logistics of a (fictitious) company. Starting with the development of a specific LSS approach, the book explains each step in detail.

Lean Six Sigma DMAIC
Lean Six Sigma DMAIC
Quick Info
The DMAIC roadmap is a structured approach for executing Lean Six Sigma projects. It consists of five phases, each with its corresponding tools, which are applied to help carry out projects successfully.
The DMAIC roadmap is ideally suited for improving existing products or processes. It provides a clear thread from the problem definition to the solution in your project.

Key Information
DMAIC is the core method (approach) of Six Sigma and stands for the five phases: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. This systematic approach was developed to improve processes within companies by minimizing defects and increasing efficiency.
History
DMAIC has its roots in quality assurance, which was developed by Motorola in the 1980s. Motorola introduced Six Sigma to improve the quality of its products. The approach was later adopted and further developed by other leading companies such as General Electric.
Usage
DMAIC, or Six Sigma, is used in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, finance, IT, and more. It is particularly useful in environments that are highly process-oriented, where reducing defects and increasing efficiency are critical.
DMAIC is the core methodology in Six Sigma. However, the application of DMAIC is often perceived as too complex. Additionally, the introduction of changes can meet resistance, as it involves moving away from established practices. Effective use of DMAIC requires specialized knowledge in statistics and project management. Often, individuals are trained but not professionally supported, which can lead to project failures.
