As expert Six Sigma recruiters and Lean recruiters, we recognize the post-COVID resurgence of U.S.-based manufacturing has made it even more evident that top-tier Six Sigma and Lean leadership talent is crucial for any organization’s success. Historical findings from a major manufacturing and supply chain industry survey firm reveal that Lean Manufacturing adoption jumped from 37% within the organizations surveyed to almost 66% within U.S. manufacturing plants over the past 15 years. However, executives labeling their operations as “world-class” only grew from 2% to 15% during that same survey period.
Behind all the survey trend data is the fact that Lean Six Sigma still stands out within organizations that consider themselves to be world-class performers. For example, world-class performing U.S. plants were still almost twice as likely to be leveraging the tools of Value Stream Mapping, 5S, Kaizen, and Daily Team Meetings, along with being 35% more likely to be leveraging both Hoshin Kanri and PDCA Problem Solving versus lesser performing plants.
These studies’ overall findings corroborate that most operations could dramatically improve their performance by continuing to invest in and leverage the right Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing deployment leadership talent. As industry-leading Lean recruiters and Six Sigma recruiters, we believe that one of the most important factors in a plant’s progress toward and sustainment of world-class performance is an ongoing investment and leverage of a fully implemented and practical continuous improvement operating system.
World-class status is a constantly moving target defined by both a company’s customers and its competitors. Hence, it is even more essential in this highly competitive post-pandemic global economy that U.S. manufacturers reassert their commitment and investment in continuous improvement and operational excellence (OpEx).
This is where The Avery Point Group can help add value in your search for the right Six Sigma and Lean transformation leadership talent.
