What is Lean?
Lean is a set of business operating principles/methodologies originally established by Toyota focused on maximizing value to the customer by identifying and eliminating waste.
Lean principles (taught by the right coach) can be applied to any business scenario and be used to drive cost reductions, accelerate productivity improvements and build a strong change-focused culture.
What is Six Sigma?
Six Sigma is a problem-solving process that is used to identify & improve the root cause of an issue. It has been used by Fortune 500 companies to improve quality performance & drive statistical control of their operations.
These techniques will get to the heart of your company’s complex quality & delivery issues & give you technical leaders the skill set to make sound operational decisions with confidence.
Lean vs Six Sigma
Lean & Six Sigma tools pair well together as Lean has a broad scope to identify problem areas and Sigma focuses down deep to address the root cause.
Use Lean to start your abnormality identification process and to manage operations on a day-to-day basis.
Use Six Sigma to drill down into the abnormalities that Lean identified and eliminate the issue by isolating the true root cause factors.
