*6.8.2 Applying Six Sigma in the Baldrige Model*

It has been established a link between six sigma methodology and the Baldrige model in similar fashion as six-sigma with leans. The proposed integrative six sigma and Baldrige model given in **Figure 6** is based on the following principles.

leadership competencies, strategic development and deployment, and human resource management can be addressed by six-sigma methodology which is a powerful tool.

#### *6.8.3 Applying six sigma in the Baldrige model and lean*

We established a link between six sigma methodology and the Baldrige model also six -sigma and lean. The proposed integrative lean Six Sigma and Baldrige model is based on the following principles:

When lean, six sigma integrated with Baldrige model. In fact, it becomes part of Baldrige model for achieving excellence. Such a performance requirement is set by the top management. Afterward aligned with the requirement of the Baldrige model, lean and six sigma methodologies become used for improve the process and meet quality objective.

The Baldrige self-assessment includes both the assessment of each seven categories in the Baldrige model as well as the efficiency and effectiveness of the six sigma projects. Such an approach toward six sigma and lean projects ensures that the company is gaining benefit from implementing the lean- six sigma methodologies.

The proposed models for the integration of lean, six sigma with Baldrige is capable of addressing the core value of the Baldrige model and identify the seven waste of lean. Area such as leadership competencies, strategic development and human resource management can be address by six sigma methodology whereas for the integrative lean Six Sigma identifies such area overproduction, waiting time, unnecessary transportation, excessive or erroneous processing, excessive inventory, unnecessary movement and defect can be addressed by Six Sigma (DMAIC) methodology.

#### **7. Conclusion**

The conclusion of this research is that the waste minimization at NAS food Plc. as production process applying the lean process. In such cases, the standard DMAIC cycle may provide structure and ensure that each step is improve thoroughly, thereby helping the success of the project. Lean can contribute to these projects by staking out the direction; that is, indicating where to start, for example through the use of value stream mapping where the process is reviewed in order to find waste. Analysis on the mapping process of the whole series of biscuit production is illustrated by some activities that are classified as non-value-added activities and some value-added activities.

In this paper both qualitative and quantitative analysis are applied and the result of qualitative by using (DMAIC) based on the time measure of the VA and NVA activities, the value of Process Cycle Efficiency (PCE) of 49.64% was obtained. And the research found the value of waste ratio is 36.7%, this show non lean in the company and the values of six sigma calculation and insert the number defect observed is 5.25, the size of the sample are 78 and the result defects per million (DPMO) is 67,308 and sigma of 3. This shows that the biscuit production of has a production capability with a failure of 67,308 every 1000,000 productions, or equivalent to 6.73% loss, and this indicates the production process still has a high failure rate. And improve by using FMEA analysis was carried out each stage of the existing process used to determine the failure of the process and to analyze and improve the production quality and the result of highest RPN on Stacking and packaging process so they should take action for waste minimization and continuous quality improvement. In addition, Organizations try to implement the Baldrige

model as a means for achieving excellence. The seven categories within the Baldrige model is integrated and related with the purpose of addressing quality challenges so that companies can be competitive in the dynamic business environment.

In quantitative analysis used SPSS software and the Correlation and regression analysis is used to quantify the association between two continuous variables (between an independent and a dependent variable or between two independent variables). The result of this shown relationship of each variables in waste measurement perspective they have strong relation with significance level of 0.01 and the causal Pearson Correlation of most variable has a strong positive relation and their value is greater than 0.8, likewise The good regression results of equation is selected in each section which is explained R2 value about 0.9 or 90% with statistically significant (P < 0.01) level.

However, In this paper, relying on a review of the national and international literature, 25 key indicators was selected based on the correlation having strong 'r' value under four improvement perspectives were identified to assess measurement system of the organization. The Lean Six Sigma & Baldrige application studied here does not point toward one well-defined Lean Six Sigma approach; the company does not adopt any particular standardized approach to larger improvement projects. Instead, the company supports the integration at this level by ensuring that their improvement specialists are widely trained in Lean, Six Sigma and Baldrige model.
