Lean Six Sigma combines Lean Manufacturing (originally developed by Toyota) and Six Sigma (originally developed by Motorola). The application of Lean Six Sigma allows quality and efficiency improvements to be effectively realized. The focus of Lean is speed, efficiency and taking waste out of a process. Six Sigma focuses on effectiveness and removal of errors. When combined it can be a powerful management tool that can greatly improve an organization’s performance by providing a structured approach to resolving problems. This methodology, known as the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control), applies in a manufacturing or service-based context.
