Integrating Lean Six Sigma and Automation: How to Transform Your Processes for the Digital Economy

In an era where digital transformation promises speed but often delivers complexity, organizations still struggle to turn automation into a lasting advantage.This book offers a practical, proven roadmap for leaders ready to bridge that gap. Drawing from more than 25 years of transformation experience across global industries, Dr. Marciano B. Hermo IV shows how Lean Six Sigma’s (LSS’s) discipline becomes even more powerful when paired with intelligent automation.Through a structured integration cycle, real-world examples, and field-tested tools, this book demonstrates how improvement and technology reinforce-not replace-each other. Whether you lead a team, an enterprise, or a transformation program, you will learn how to: (a) simplify and stabilize work before automating; (b) build digital capability that scales and sustains; (c) strengthen decision logic and reduce exceptions; (d) engage people, develop talent, and reshape roles; and (e) measure value beyond cost savings and uptime.
