Lean and Six Sigma are recent developments in continuous improvement methodology that have been popularized by several companies. The success and complementary nature of these methodologies has led to their combination into a single methodology, commonly called Lean Six Sigma. It is a key driver in enhancing the continuous improvement opportunity in various industries. Thus, this study aims to explore the Lean Six Sigma approach implementation in small, medium and large scale firms in detail, and apply the DMAIC concept in the recipe recovery and backup project. DMAIC stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control. Besides, the knowledge of the study will not limit to Lean Six Sigma analysis and literature analysis in the past. Thus, the findings will assist the subsequence case studies and idea to further improve on other industry process. Besides, it will seize great improvement opportunity in improving the efficiency of the existing process in any fields. Therefore, an analysis was constructed in assisting scholars and practitioners to better understand the concept and the influence of this approach. It helps to eliminate the existing impact of high configuration time and establish an excellent operational process in manufacturing. By applying the Lean Six Sigma methodology, it is targeted to achieve MTTR < 30 minutes after the implementation of centralized recipe backup solution. It is recommendation to use Lean Six Sigma methodology in various industries for continuous improvement such as in cost and quality.
