Lean Six Sigma is the integration of two powerful process improvement methodologies. Lean Enterprise focuses on the concept of continuous
flow using tools such as Value Stream Mapping, Kanban / Pull Systems, Setup Reduction / Quick Changeover, &
Kaizen Events.
Six Sigma uses the DMAIC process – Define, Measure, Improve & Control to solve challenging business problems. The Six Sigma DMAIC
method utilizes formal project definition, data collection, and statistical analysis to select the right opportunity, implement the most
appropriate improvements, and sustain the improvements over the long term. |
