Lean Six Sigma in Human Resources

Apply Lean Six Sigma Concepts in Human Resources Department

Learning can do wonders! If you apply it with a right purpose and in right way. I have helped problem solving assignments for more than a decade across +20 diversified industry segments. During this time I have coached several Human Resource professionals to reap success.  In the table shared below, find out how a Human Resource professional can make use of LSS concepts. I have added two columns next to the opportunity listing to point the intensity of use of Lean and Six Sigma tools. This is not a standard but just an indicative of how it works based on my personal experience.

There could be many more areas where Human Resource professionals can effectively use these concepts. Human Resource professionals should strive to make the organization more employable for its quality of services and products to its paying customers. Efforts put in this direction will always pay off both for the human resource professionals and the organization.

No two implementations are ‘same’. Company’s policies, inherent culture and current maturity level have a role to play in Lean Six Sigma’s use. Having said that, an efficient Lean Six Sigma Black Belt / Lean Six Sigma Green Belt will always find a way. Lean Six Sigma concepts if applied well, will produce breakthrough improvements in midst of adversities.
