Lean is a systematic approach to reduce or eliminate activities that do not add any kind of value to the process. Its main motive is to remove wasteful steps in a process and retain only the value-adding steps. Six Sigma on the other hand is a set of management tools and techniques designed to improve processes by reducing the errors. It is a data-driven problem-solving methodology that uses a statistical techniques for eliminating defects. When combined together, the Lean and Six Sigma methodologies are focused on improving process quality and ensuring customer satisfaction.
In today’s competitive global marketplace, customers are more accustomed to quality craftsmanship than ever before. They are also more likely to value corporate stewardship, especially as it relates to sustainability. Lean Six Sigma is a process improvement methodology that combines the benefits of both Lean manufacturing techniques and Six Sigma to help businesses streamline operations, increase value and reduce waste. An integrated approach of Lean Six Sigma helps improving process efficiency, optimizing resources, and increasing customer satisfaction while improving profits and curtailing cost.
