Lean Six Sigma

What is Lean Six Sigma?

Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that requires a collaborative team effort to boost performance by systematically removing waste and reducing variation.

Overall, it takes a combination of lean manufacturing/lean enterprise and Six Sigma to eliminate eight kinds of identified wastes or muda:

  • Defects
  • Over-Production
  • Waiting
  • Non-Utilized Talent
  • Transportation
  • Inventory
  • Motion
  • Extra-Processing
