Bachelor Thesis Lean Six Sigma Benefit Analysis
Hello to all,
My name is Ester and I am studying at the FH Campus 02. I am currently working on my Bachelor's thesis, which deals with the application of a Lean Six Sigma principle (e.g. Kanban) and the DMAIC method in the context of procurement logistics in the automotive industry. The aim of my research is to show how these methods can be used to minimise stock levels and shorten throughput times. In doing so, I consider the DMAIC control loop and a Lean Six Sigma principle, whereby the most suitable method is selected by means of a utility value analysis.
I need your support for the utility analysis: I would like to evaluate and weight different methods based on defined criteria. I would be delighted if you could contribute your expertise by weighting the relevance of the criteria as you see fit. The sum of the weightings should be 100 %.
The criteria to be weighted are as follows:
- Efficiency of inventory management
- Flexibility and adaptability
- Lead time reduction
- Error reduction
- Resource efficiency
- Cost savings
- Integration with existing systems
- Required training effort
Your assessment is of great importance for my work, as simply asking people who have dealt with the topic is sufficient to make a valid weighting of the criteria. I appreciate any feedback you can give me and thank you in advance for your valuable support.

Hello Ester, thank you for your contribution.
I think it is a misunderstanding that the introduction of individual methods per se provides added value and that company processes become LEAN, so to speak, by implementing different methods.From my point of view, it is not possible to generally prioritise or evaluate methods without knowing the underlying problem to be solved and the framework conditions in the respective company. Unfortunately, I was therefore unable to complete your survey. I had to drop out in the middle because I couldn't answer the questions.

Hello Ester,
I have also tried my hand at an answer.
In general, however, I have to agree with Dominik that the defined criteria themselves and the weighting are very difficult without further context. Depending on your point of view, your feedback will be very variable.
In our company in the automotive environment, the focus of logistics (procurement and delivery logistics) is on cost savings (general; inventory reduction (DLZ); error reduction). With regard to the subsequent processes, the topic of flexibility and adaptability should also be prioritised in procurement logistics. Theoretical one-off costs such as integration with existing systems or training costs are accepted, but are weighted low.
