Coming from the Head of Marketing of The Lean Six Sigma Company, you might roll your eyes \ud83d\ude44 and assume this is just another sales pitch. But hold on, let\u2019s think critically for a moment. \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n

Everyone is racing to implement AI, expecting it to revolutionize operations. But here\u2019s the catch: AI is only as good as the data it learns from. If your processes are plagued by inconsistencies, errors, and inefficiencies, AI won\u2019t fix them, it will amplify them. \ud83d\udea8 Garbage in, garbage out.<\/p>\n

So before you jump on the AI bandwagon, ask yourself: Do you truly understand where your pain points are? Machine downtime, quality issues, inefficiencies.
\nThese aren\u2019t just AI problems; they\u2019re process problems. And since the 1980s, Lean Six Sigma has been the gold standard for identifying and eliminating these bottlenecks. \ud83c\udfc6<\/p>\n

So the real question here is: Is your organization deploying Lean Six Sigma routines to prepare for a modern AI-driven future? \u26a1<\/p>\n

As AI reshapes the way organizations operate, will there still be a role for solid DMAIC projects? I\u2019d love to hear your thoughts. Email me at tom@theleansixsigmacompany.com \ud83d\udce9 or drop a comment below. \ud83d\udcac<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

AI promises to transform operations, but only if your processes are already under control. Without clean, consistent data, AI becomes a high-tech amplifier of your existing inefficiencies. \ud83d\udcc9<\/p>\n

Before you chase algorithms and automation, ask the tough questions: Where are your real bottlenecks? Why is your quality inconsistent? What\u2019s causing downtime?<\/p>\n

These aren\u2019t just IT problems, they\u2019re process problems. And since the 1980s, Lean Six Sigma has been the go-to framework for fixing them. With DMAIC as your foundation, you don\u2019t just implement AI\u2014you prepare your organization to leverage it strategically.<\/p>\n
