Hence an organization must encourage the employees to remove the cultural inhibits and fear. Thus an employee also develops a sense of pride and achievement. Cross cultural projects help to identify the various working sectors for an organization. For example, Chinese Manufacturing unit requires addressing the Chinese clients and customers. Hence the working knowledge of these parameters plays an important role in implementing Six Sigma in these units. A training company shall address the needs of Chinese clients. Let’s us say if the employees are also from these regions we can work together to implement quality services at their sector. Lean Six Sigma helps to identify the weakness and the loopholes that might be harmful for the project quality. Since this diversity amongst the employees may lead to different ideas generation, hence one may select the best ideas depending on the needs and the situation.
