Leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) for Quality Control Using LEAN Six Sigma
Anilesh Mukherjee, Om Sharma
Abstract: Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a proven methodology for improving business processes by reducing variability, waste, and defects. Traditionally, LSS relies on the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) framework/methodology for systematic process optimization (usage of Tools & Techniques). However, with the advancements in the usage of Emerging technologies in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML), a new paradigm is emerging to enhance the effectiveness of LSS practices, particularly in the context of Industry 4.0. This paper examines the transformative impact of integrating Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) into Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodologies. It highlights the challenges faced by the service industry, particularly in managing unstructured data, and explores how emerging technologies can enhance quality control through predictive analytics, root cause analysis, and automation. By addressing key pain points, this study forecasts the evolution of hyper - automation and AI - driven methodologies for achieving near - zero defects in Industry 4.0. Practical applications and ethical considerations are also discussed, underscoring the importance of data quality, skill development, and cultural adaptation for successful implementation.
