A framework is developed based on the DMAIC approach, process improvement methodologies and solution evaluation methodologies. The current process is discussed and with the Lean Six Sigma philosophy measures of improvement are developed. The requirements for the improvements were creating flow, reducing waiting time and providing insights. Five different improvements were developed and the dynamic wave and resource planning improvement scored the highest. This improvement provides a tool for the supervisors and team-leaders to prioritize work and manage the employees in a better way. A simulation was conducted to quantify the lead-time improvement. This simulation resulted in a reduction in lead-time of 5 till 47% bringing the average lead-time down from 2.2 to 1.5 days.
