Super introduction to Lean Six Sigma Methods. Thank you for sharing MIT.

[@goleansixsigma]

We agree! Great content to innovate with.

[@ongnguyenvan1167]

This very first ice-breaking session truly inspires and urge me to learn and practice LEAN!!! Thank you so much.

[@davidnhc7]

Hence the term lean six sigma.. Both methods reinforce the others efforts.. It is a beautiful thing

[@MrWMPagels]

This is a great starting point. It only works if management is committed. Changes made must not effect other countermeasures in place. After 20 years in the auto parts business I have learned that without these concepts you will not be in business for long. Just look what happened to the big 3 they did not get on board ( and for the most part still are not ) and they have paed the price big time.

The "Scrub" does not just mean cleaning in that sense used here. It is also clean as in tidy up the environment. This is similar to the cooking maxim of "clean as you go". A messy/cluttered workspace makes it hard to do later steps.

[@dragonjake6968]

Thank you so much for sharing the amazing knowledges and lecture please continue on truly thank you!

[@goleansixsigma]

We agree! Great content to spark ideas!

[@AstnPw3rs]

i really don't know why Lean and Six Sigma are considered a single unit. they both focus on quality (meeting or exceeding customer requirements/demands) a very basic reference to distinguish the two lean - reduction of muda/waste six sigma - reduction in variation Lean is heavily based in Kaizen and how everything revolves around gemba (the gemba?). however, do does Six Sigma, by further reducing variation and tightening the process's UCL/LCL.

[@mamatalu]

Great! Thank you.

[@hadisaputra3468]

Great! Thank you so much

[@berguss22]

very nice guy considerable knowledge and expderience

[@martinburdett1110]

Great watch. It's really good to see the principals you have explained and then thinking about what Elon Musk has done in the last few years with SpaceX and Tesla. Seems like he was on the same wavelength.

[@goleansixsigma]

Right on! Much agreed here.

[@lukaszhuminiecki9592]

Fantastic!

[@goleansixsigma]

We agree! Great content to build efficiency!

[@MrKinglizzie]

Extremely interested in this. A bit like Critical Thinking in Philosophy but business. I will be getting certified from The University of Sydney next year.

[@Ladychatterbox]

Excellent !!

[@dnhyy]

wish this content can be in HD.

[@VioletDeliriums]

Isn't it an unnecessary motion for the speaker to walk up to the slide and point at something it the laser pointer as if it were a stick instead of remaining in place and turning the laser on? also, isn't it a defect for him to stand inside the projector's light while doing so?

[@Dao_De_Jing]

por favor pueden poner la opción de traducción de subtitulo , gracias.

[@lukascarter55]

Great lecture.

[@goleansixsigma]

We agree! Great content to help communities.

[@MrVecinoMusico]

it will good if MIT could include subtitules. But actualy is very good

[@MarkGraban]

I think it's factually incorrect to state that Lean is for flow and Six Sigma is for quality as this presenter states. The roots of the Toyota Production System (Lean) are in quality (preventing defects) and the two pillars of TPS are "just in time" (flow) and "jidoka" (quality at the source). Flow and Quality go hand in hand. Lean methods give you both.

[@MarkGraban]

Are you talking about Six Sigma? This video course is really about Lean, which is proven to work in settings that are not production lines - including healthcare. There's so much data and evidence out there, it's a silly position to say it doesn't work outside of a limited setting, like production lines. Without leadership, it doesn't even work in production line settings, as other commenters are right to point out.

[@cwang72hawkiitedu]

I am a recent engineering major graduate, I realized that six sigma certification is very important, and I really want to get a six sigma green belt certification, I got so confused which one to choose from due to the fact there are many certification providers after browsing online. Could anyone give me some ideas which one is authorization that future employer can accept?

[@leonardocarranzah]

Chenzi Wang Hello, ASQ certification is worldwide accepted.

[@sjsphotog]

Chenzi Wang Look into ASQ Certified Six Sigma Green Belt and Black Belt. Most commonly asked for by employers. Also SME has a similar product. APICS has similar programs. Others are not as well received and many are scams by consultants that are overpriced and dont hold their value. Get a copy of the Training primers at the Quality Council of Indiana: www.qualitycouncil.com/Certification%20Materials.html#primers_bm You can self study the material on your own, like I have, even if you arent doing it at your job. Great info and is what is used by ASQ for training classes as the ref material. Good luck.

[@sjsphotog]

Go with ASQ . I just got miy SSGB in December. Makes me more valuable and wanted by employers.

[@HiddenShaco]

+Stephen Soukup Hey Stephen, I hope you're doing great! I was just wondering how did you prepare for the ASQ SSGB certification? Did you pay for some online training or did you figure out a way to study for it for free? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance.

[@goleansixsigma]

I know it's been five years since you posted this but check out our free Lean Six Sigma training here: yb.goleansixsigma.com/story_html5.html?lms=1 I hope this helps!

[@tnwaneri]

I agree with you.

[@qijialiao5228]

I am a big fan of this course. I collected the data from 14 episodes, and analyze the data of number of views on each episodes. Use the number of views on episode 1 as the number of sum, surprisingly, from episode 2, 20% of the sum continues to watch, and only 3%-5% of the sum continues to watch the last 3 episodes, and I can assume that only 3%-4% from the sum completed the full 14 episodes. Persistence and passion are important.

[@kevinqueen6246]

As it turns out the lean principles lead to a great reduction in efficiency over the last decade, there was a rush to implement what they didn't fully understand. Companies have for the large part abandon this practice in truth, they have instead participated in stock buybacks over restructuring and reorganization. Take Gamestop for instance it has 700M in cash and its shareholders want that spent in buybacks rather than on fixing the company's issues. Gamestop has a massive loss of efficiency problem that needs to be fixed ASAP

[@SEEANDPEA]

why was he eating or chewing his words?

[@mbankat1]

Mercedes and especially Volvo are not inherently safer. Their buyers are typically wealthier, older and are looking for safety as a feature. MARKETING for both, especially Volvo, is targeted to those buyers and specifically touts safety as a feature. That draws safer DRIVERS to those autos.

[@floydknapp2012]

Mr Allen Hagerty is using data from 27 years ago. This does not give him credibility in his argument. Also, this not very convincing considering that American cars companies have improved substantially since the 1980's. Ford is a great car company and everyone in the world knows this fact. Mr. Hagerty does not know cars in general and he does not know American cars. If you look around anywhere in the US, American cars form the 1950's and 1960's are still being driven by American cars lovers. There are zero Japanese cars from these decades and not many from the seventies. Not until the eighties, do we see any Japanese cars still on the road. Japanese cars were designed only to last 10 years, This is due to the emission laws in Japan, where the car must be inspected by a government emission station to be registered for the following year. Most Japanese cars around 10 years old are put on 'Ro Ro' ships and sold to other countries like the Philippines or Malaysia where the emission laws are less strict. Some Japanese people just abandon the car in the countryside. I saw this practice when I lived in Higashi-Hiroshima from June 1990 to 1991. I have owned Japanese cars there, a Suzuki and in the US a Corolla and owned many American cars, a few German cars and even a British Ford and an Italian car, a Fiat. All cars have issues and strengths. I believe like most people that American cars are on par with the Japanese as well as American manufacturing processes. The Japanese do a good job making cars and the workers care about their work, I know because I saw this first hand. The phenomenon of the Japanese car manufacturer miracle did give the American car manufacturers a much needed reality check which they used to improve their factories and processes. I also thank them for helping the American car companies see the reality before them; Americans want reliable and fuel efficient cars which they will pay more money for gladly. It is a shame that the Americans did not see this in the sixties and got distracted by the muscle car craze, (I am a fan of muscle cars, too.) The best selling car in 1963 and 1964 was the Ford Falcon, why, because it was reliable and got 30 MPG. WOW, this is where we are today, some cars get better than that but about the same as 1964. The Japanese did their homework and actually did extensive market research in the US to manufacture the products that Americans wanted to buy. Finally, after the wake up call, US auto makers did the same and improved their product to world class standards. Thank you again Japan. About me, I am a social science major who studied for years about Japan and US trade relations, manufacturing processes and international business studies. I lived in Japan for a year and Germany for two years. I have seen manufacturing on three continents. Germany, the UK and the US are equally capable of excellent manufacturing and are doing so every single day, turning out world class products, it is not just Japan or other Asian countries that do produce in this way. American academics need to revisit American car manufacturers once again. Their classes may lead students to believe that Japan is still far ahead for the rest. It is just not true any longer. I stopped this video with in the first five minutes because I saw major flaws in his argument and presentation. I did watch the other videos in this series which were very well done.

[@Reichertin]

Well said. That was very valuable insight. Thanks.

[@CapriMikeC]

Mr Hagerty is teaching a class on techniques for improving manufacturing processes. Mr Hagerty's data from 1989 is to illustrate how the Japanese improved their methods while the US auto makers did not and steadily lost market share. The example data shown is relevant to the class Mr. Hagerty is teaching. It is not an editorial on the current quality of US builders. Mr Hagerty does not need to know cars. He is teaching a class about long term profitable manufacturing improvements regardless of the product. These methods are used all over the world to manufacture nearly every good on the market, not just cars.

[@josejackson1502]

the class is posted from 2008 when auto makers where having a hard time. What he said about lasting cars is true as well. There are more toyotas that last to 250,000 miles then ford. Seems like you need to watch the whole thing before commenting on it.

[@aidanmargarson8910]

Just to put this in perspective Professor Allen Haggerty, I am guessing has a PhD in the subject, and so as has been said is teaching from the historical perspective. One is reasonably sure he could bury your argument viz number of American cars on the road and at what age with the current statistics of the top of his head. As far as American manufacture goes I have two words for you .. Metric System
