    The great need to optimize business projects and to maximize profits has led many companies use methodologies looking for achieving financial returns for process improvement aligned to organizational strategy, maximize capacity, offer products and services with high reliability, strengthen the planning and action processes and create competitive advantage. Actually companies are focused on reducing production costs to increase profits without having to make large investments in assets. For this purpose different methodologies are created, for this research project the methodology to leverage cost reduction is called Lean Six Sigma. Lean Six Sigma combines the set of solutions and Lean strategies included in the cultural process, organizational and analytical tools of Six Sigma, resulting in a better response to customers, faster and with less waste. Through the five stages of DMAIC projects are made that in the case of analysis of this work will be focused on reducing manufacturing costs and expenses. However the greatest difficulty for these companies happens because there is no a clear methodology about how to quantify these savings and translate them into the finances of the company, which also allows to observe how the LSS project implementation impacts the financial indicators in the following years and even increasing the utility company. The methodology to achieve the compliance of the goals of the work mainly involves the collection and deep analysis of primary and secondary information on the different elements to be considered in the model. Primary information is the result of in-depth interviews with experts in the implementation of the methodology in manufacturing firms in Medellin and surrounding municipalities, and information secondary from research databases, journals and various books on finance and costs. After developing the research work a financial model for manufacturing companies to calculate the economic benefit of the projects carried out under the Lean Six Sigma methodology by reducing variable and fixed production costs was obtained. The model besides calculating the savings, shows the changes of P&L, Cash Flow, Working Capital, EVA, EBITDA, and other financial indicators before and after implementation of the project for the implementation year and next
