    Hi,
    I am working on a paper on quality right now, and would love to hear which companies you most admire that practice Lean Manufacuturing or Lean with Six Sigma.
    Any suggestions would be great!Thanks

    Have a look at Ingersoll-Rand.  I know they are doing SS, they may be integrating lean as well.  Good Luck!

    Take a look at Nissan Motor Manufacturing in Smyrna TN.  They have won the award for most productive plant many times in the last few years.  They incorporate Lean, TQM and ISO practices ,associated with Six Sigma, to this end.

    The best I’ve seen is Honeywell (Aerospace), but not so much now as in the past.  I know GE Aircraft tries to incorporate the 2, but with only partial success.  GE Medical has some good focus in the supplier development area from what I understand.  You may want to do some digging into their efforts first.
