Hi there, my name is Ron Pereira and this blog is my humble attempt at explaining how I believe lean manufacturing and six sigma can and should work together in harmony. 

Contrary to the name of this blog I don’t believe it’s optimal to merge lean and six sigma into one methodology. This is great marketing to be sure… but the methodologies are different for a reason.

I do, however, believe we should learn as much as we can about lean and six sigma using them as needed when needed. That, in a sentence, is what this blog is about.

Professionally, I am a Director of Manufacturing and CIP (continuous improvement process) for a $3 billion company in the flow control industry. I also have extensive experience in the telecommunications industry.

I am married to my best friend, Genni, and have been blessed with 3 amazing kiddos. We are very involved with our church and enjoy hanging out with our family and friends here in Keller, Texas.

Please feel free to email me if you have any thoughts or questions about lean manufacturing, six sigma, or anything else that may be on your mind.  I will do my best to reply in a timely manner.
