Finally, the paper presents nine main parts that integrating Lean Production and Six Sigma management should be paid attention to.Keywords: Lean Production, Six Sigma managem
4、ent, Lean Six SigmaLean Production and Six Sigma management are the two management methods of broad impact. The two methods have brought tremendous benefits to the enterprises which have successfully implemented the two methods. Lean Production and Six Sigma management cannot only be used alone, als

If Lean Six Sigma can be integrally used, it will have a bigger effect.1. Introduction of Lean Production and Six Sigma management1.1Lean ProductionLean Pr

Its core idea is to remove all non-value-added activities of links of enterprises, to create value of production as much as possible with less m
7、anpower, less equipment, in a shorter time and venues, further to meet customer production or service requirement. It emphasizes on reducing wastage and non-value added chain to reduce cost. Lean is not only the most productive way of the of impact on human society, but is a symbol of the new era of
8、 industrialization.1.2 Six Sigma ManagementSix Sigma management was put forward in the mid-1980s Motorola. Motorola summed it up by practice in order to be against the pressure on enterprise development and improve the quality standard. It is based on in order to improve the quality standard and tot
9、al quality management theory and mathematical statistics on the total quality management theory and mathematical statistics. Its core idea is making all business work as a process, basing on data and facts. The use of quantitative methods in the flow of the factors affecting quality. Identify key fa

It follows the process by streamlining processes, controls flow variations, eliminates variability of the quality products in the process, thereby saving costs. Followe

Lean and Six Sigma integration of the necessity and feasibility2.1 Lean Six Sigma and the need for integrationFrom the above two comparative analysis can be seen, Lean and Six Sigma management have their own advantages and disadvantages of each other if they absorb each others merits, the
13、 performance will be better. First, Lean Production specializes in systems analysis, the success of enterprises depends on the effective functioning of a good process, no matter how hardworking the staff, are they cant go beyond the design capacity of the process? Lean process management provides a
14、framework for the project management of Six Sigma. Secondly, lean production needs experts unique talents ofknowledge, lacking of knowledge of the normative. Six Sigma management integrate various tools and solving problems in a standardized DMAIC process provide strong operability management tools
15、for the project management. Again, Leans expert analysis on the scene, manage to quickly overcome the problems exposed at the scene, and focus on Black Belt .Six Sigma management under the guidance of quantitative analysis for the complex issues underlying causes can be found to solve the complex pr
16、ocess the problem, but it needs a longer time to solve the problem. Different problems, need to combine the two, choose a different approach to solve the problem can increase the efficiency and capacity. Finally, from the operational level, the two management models of training, system improvements, and so need to integrate the way, one of the single use are defective (Zhou, He & Gao, 2006, 6,1-4).2.2 The feasibility of integration of Lean Production and
