Using Lean Six Sigma in Transportation

Since its rise in popularity in the ‘80s and ‘90s, Lean Six Sigma (LSS) has largely been associated with manufacturing, warehousing and distribution. Amidst all of this profound knowledge, a key player is eerily missing in all of these LSS supply chains: transportation. Can transportation benefit from common Lean Six Sigma concepts and methods given that its output is intangible?

This white paper will break down three key Lean Six Sigma initiatives and apply them to everyday transportation activities to understand what value can be added by applying Lean Six Sigma to transportation.
