What Is Lean Six Sigma?
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a methodology used to improve business processes, based on the combination of two management ideologies, Lean and Six Sigma.
- Lean is a way of thinking that aims to reduce waste from any process to maximise customer satisfaction. This involves continuous improvement and incremental adjustments to achieve minimal waste and allow teams to work more efficiently.
- Six Sigma is a collection of methodologies which improve the quality of business processes and reduce the number of errors and defects. Its aim is a level of quality that is nearly perfect, with less than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. This quality is achieved using DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control).
